It will be over soon, Phoenix, but until then we are holding you as close as we can.
I have never known anyone to have to endure what you have. Your endurance (and your grace, as seen from out here) is an inspiration I will never forget.

Phoenix, I keep asking myself how much can one woman take, and you keep showing me more.
I pray that visiting his memorial this weekend brings you peace, and strength.
Keeping you in my thoughts, and prayers.

I am so glad your DS's friends will be there to support you.
Please think about staying one night. That's 6.5 hours of travel and lots of driving. You must already be so exhausted.
I can't imagine that your heart can feel lighter for a long time. I'm so sorry its getting heavier. I wish that we could all take just a bit of your sorrow so you could feel a bit better.
My thoughts continue to be with you and I will be even more on Saturday.
But that's just a lot of water

I am so glad your DS's BF will go with you. I can't imagine how hard that will be for you, but also, what a wonderful way to get some bit of closure and come closer to peace to be there with your offering on his birthday.

Always thinking of you and your family but mostly of you! As a mother I feel your pain and heart ache. I wish I could hold you and let you cry as long as needed.
I weep for you and what is/has been your world lately. Know we are all here, praying, grieving with you, and will also be your rock!!!!

Sending prayers to you for today.
Is there any way you can stay over just Sat. night? If you fly into Bellingham you have at least one hr drive to site for DB and DBSIL, if it's Sea-Tac it's going on 2 hrs! It's also probably close to 3-4 hrs to then go to your DS's site, which would make it close to 5-6 hrs back to the airport!!!! Oh sweet Phoenix, please see if you can re-do the travel plans.
You are such a strong woman. I honestly do not know almost anybody who could/would endure all that you have. Truly an inspiration to us all!!
Sending strength.
