Any conversation that I have that allows me to talk about Nolan is a gift. I do not care if I cry. That's fine. I want to cry. Talking about him, about what he was like, about the things he did, my memories... that's comfort to me. I have always joked that I have an awful memory due to all the partying I did in my youth. Well, now that I have lost my son, it's not that funny of a joke. I'm scared of forgetting things. And I will, I have already. I had already forgotten things about all the children over the past 14 years before this happened. I wish people would share memories of him. A friend on the Catholic loop sent out a message to our group asking people to share any stories they had of him, she shared one. No one else did. That made me sad. (deja vu feeling here, I may have already mentioned that in a previous post). I just need things like that. Anything to grasp onto of his to help me through this nightmare.
i'm with you on the memory thing. i told you when the kids were singing happy birthday to eva last weekend i was distracted and picturing nolan singing to michael on that video i sent you. i just remember him as full of imp and fun and that he was just a good kid who liked to make people laugh and had so much fun with my kids.
