Last night I reread some of the "Remembering our children" thread. I wonder how everyone is doing that no longer comes here.
And I miss how busy this board use to be.
I wish no one ever lost a child, but since so many of us have, I am grateful for this place where I can share how I feel and be so understood.

It really has changed a lot here. Recently, I thought of writing a thread asking people to check in-- just to let us know if they are reading, even if they don't really want to write in. I guess we could do that here... But yes, it is curious who leaves and why and how they are doing better. And yes, thank goodness for this place!

Your thread idea is a good one.
I would love to hear from some people that were on here when I joined about four years ago.

I used to come here, and it's been a while since I've checked back. When Melody was murdered (and I was critically injured) by a drunk murderer, she was nine, and her sister, Melissa was only 7. Since then, the drunk killer was sentenced to prison (24 to life), but he was stabbed to death only 10 days into his sentence for being a child killer, presumably. My wife gave birth to another baby a year ago, a little boy named Noah. So Melissa has a brother now and I've learned the love of a boy. This doesn't replace Melody, it's not meant to. My heart still aches for Melody, always will. It's this piece of me that's missing, and always will. Part of me looks foward to when I see her again. The other part is here on earth, where I know this is my place for now, after nearly being murdered myself. It's a paradox to be sure...the love of my family here, and Melody not here. I keep thinking about the "before" and the "after" and am in part grateful (although to whom/what I don't know) that the "after" can still have happiness. Above all, I'm grateful my daughter has a good childhood, even though she's gone through what no child should. This ain't easy...with the physical disability, and the loss of my child. But I keep going on best I can...
