~MY SON ~ MY HEART ~ MY LIFE ~

It hasn't been quite 2 years since Jim found out he had testicular cancer. A year ago he had a 9 1/2 hour surgery to remove the cancer. We were told chemo was ineffective for this type of cancer.

In the Spring (2004) they put Jim on chemotherapy....Why ? I'll never know !
On April 20, 2004 he finished his chemo, being hopeful, but never telling me of all the misery which went with chemo, only not to worry me.

On April 24th, 2004 he was taken to the hospital.....unresponsive. He had full blown pneumonia and toxicity caused by the chemotherapy He was on life support. For 3 days he seemed to improve then we found he had had a massive stroke.... and a viral pneumonia on top of the one he already had. Jim never left the hospital again. _

~~~ I love You Jim ~~


I KNOW YOUR LIFE ON EARTH WAS TROUBLED
AND ONLY YOU CAN KNOW THE PAIN
YOU WEREN'T AFRAID TO FACE THE DEVIL
WERE NO STRANGER TO THE RAIN
~
GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN
SON YOUR WORK ON EARTH IS DONE
GO TO HEAVEN A- SHOUTIN
LOVE FOR THE FATHER AND THE SON
~
OH HOW WE CRIED THE DAY YOU LEFT US
GATHERED ROUND YOUR GRAVE TO GRIEF
WISH I COULD SEE THE ANGEL FACES
WHEN THEY HEAR YOUR SWEET VOICE SING
~
GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN
SON YOUR WORK ON EARTH IS DONE
GO TO HEAVEN A-SHOUTIN
LOVE FOR THE FATHER AND THE SON

It's been 18 months now Jim since you left me.........you took me with you, only an empty shell remains here , not knowing how to carry on without you.

~ I miss you so , My Boy~ DEINE MUTTI

Today it has been 21 months since you are gone. I am suspended in time. To me it was yesterday.

I can't believe the reality that you , my son, are no longer here .....to hear your voice, to visit you. I wanted to bring you home, but not in the way it happened.
Last night for the first time you appeared to me in a dream and you were alive, Jim


oh how I ache inside.......how I miss you
