Losing Seth Part 4

It's been 3 years since that all happened.  We are still adjusting to life.  Everyday we are reminded of him.  Sometimes people aren't sure if they should ask how we are doing?  Will it just bring back memories and make us sad?  I suppose it will, but I wish people would just ask anyway.  It's worse to think others have forgotten, though I have not felt that way.

A friend of mine, Martha Martin, lost her son, David, 2 months prior in a tragic 4 wheeler accident.  At the viewing, I determined not to cry as I walked by but just radiate strength and optimism, so I timed my 'nose blowing' to just before I said my condolences to them.  I didn't want them to feel sadder from having seen me.  Then, when the situation was reversed, my son was in a coffin, I realized the folly of my thinking.  It was the people who cried, blew their nose, etc. that gave me the greatest comfort at that time.  When I sat up front during Seth's funeral, I remember hearing people sniffling and blowing their nose, and it spoke tremendous love into my heart.  These folks around me REALLY  care.  I was going through the worst of times and feeling the greatest of love.  I never doubted God's love for me.  Never.

Can't wait to see him again in Heaven!!

Here is a picture of Seth carrying his rabbit, Rabbeetsio.  He had plenty of pets, but this rabbit was his all-time favorite!
