The New Year without Adam

It is hard to fathom that I enter into 2017 without my son.  I would never have imagined this scenario yet on October 20th of 2016 Adam my 15 year old son chose to leave this world and us.  I understand that his mind was clouded with dark thoughts that impaired his judgement but it doesn’t change the fact that I miss him terribly and cannot understand how this could come to pass.  I have wrestled with guilt and regrets since he left and know that there is really no point in entertaining these thoughts except to ensure in the future that my perspective and priorities are directed to the people in my life versus external considerations like career and material possessions.  This site is dedicated to my son and his memory and my attempt to reconcile life without him in this world.

One reply on “The New Year without Adam”

I don’t know what I can say. But I do know this, “Be still and know that I am God” is a tough act. Not sure that it has helped me much, but it is true I’m sure. The verse that I would give you that has actually has helped me is, “Isaiah 49:15-16. ” I will not forget you! See I have engraved you on the palms of hands: your walls are ever before me.” Randy
