We have been on this road of child loss for two years and I have continued to write on the caring bridge page that was started for us. Though now I feel like it is time to close it, but still want to share our story and reach out to others. I have been encouraged and appreciated everyone’s support so I would love to be able to continue on this journey with you all. That is why I thought a blog would be a great way for me to process and share, but also to hear your stories while you share your hearts.
Over the next months I will be transferring all the post from the caring bridge site that we had and closing that down. So it may look strange for a bit while the last two years are being reposted here.
I have put off doing this because as I look back I relive all the moments of those days. The memories and emotions don’t fade away they are just as strong and vivid as they were the day we got the call about his accident.
For those new here I should write a small piece if the story.
My son Logan was celebrating his friend’s 14th birthday at his house. Later that day Sheriff Jason called me. As he spoke the words they were jumbled and muddled in my brain. I then asked him to repeat them. He said, “Logan has been in an ATV accident and is being transported to the helicopter to be taken to the hospital.” Those are words I never thought I would hear, words I didn’t want to hear. Every piece of me knew this was bad. I could just feel it in the deepest parts of my heart he wasn’t coming home. It was a simple mistake he lost control of the ATV while turning the corner and in a matter of seconds our lives were shattered and permanently changed. He was gone.
Thank you for walking on this journey with me. I would love to hear from you and connect our paths with support and care. Love and hugs, Ann
