One night, I was searching on the internet, I'm always searching for something, I don't know what yet, it seems like my computer now is my best friend. well, anyway, I typed in MY SON SEAN and this is what came up a poem written by Jean Halverson, someone I don't know but I can relate to her on what she wrote. I feel her pain & sorrow and my heart goes out to her. She wrote about her son, whom she loved very much. Her words are like I wrote this myself. You"ll see what I mean as you read the poem.

For my son, Sean 5/11/82 -7/11/02 who died of a drug overdose Jean Halvorsen Life is full of joy, life is full of sorrow. None of us know if we'll be here tomorrow. God gave me a beautiful gift Twenty years ago, in May a child full of laughter, love and joy. I always thought you'd be here to stay. It was hard on you, when your Dad went away. The hurt and anger with you everyday. I tried to be both Mom and Dad, to talk to me when you were feeling sad. But you chose to keep so much inside, and in drugs, you would hide. I tried so hard to reach you. If only my love was enough to save you. You thought that heroin was a friend but surely it was an enemy. I know how hard you tried to break loose so you could recover and mend. How many times you said to me, "I don't want to live like this, I want a happy, normal life." There was so much help for you, to show you the way. Maybe it was just too hard, too much pain and suffering. I love you, babe, with all my heart. God, give me strength while we're apart... until we are together again, and I can hug you up in heaven. |
