Nothing will ever be the same

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone it was the first Holiday for us without our son (Jerry) very hard and emotional day. Not looking forward to Christmas or the New Year. I don't feel like I have anything to look forward to. Although we have other children and beautiful Grandchildren 3 of which belong to my son, I still feel very lonely and empty.

I hear without listening, I look without seeing, I'm not interested in my friends problems I find myself turning a deaf ear to them and most of all I'm tired of people asking how I'm doing or saying I look good. I'm still as sad and hurt as was the day I found out my son was gone & looking good is just makeup covering my tear stained face and covers up the pain on my face but not in my heart.
