Thank you for taking the time to post this to me. You did see Alex at the fair and his girlfriend's name is Jaylyn. They were such a cute little couple. Please know that my faith has lifted me up when I thought I would die from the pain and, though each day is a new adventure in pain, grief and acceptance, it is manageable. Thank you again. Your post means a lot to me. Hug your children and never let anyone make you feel silly for having those motherly instincts.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255259221586324634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26310223.post-61178533733401485892011-09-11T01:13:42.376-06:002011-09-11T01:13:42.376-06:00Jennie,
You don't know me...but you have been...Jennie,<br /><br />You don't know me...but you have been in my thoughts and prayers for weeks. <br /><br />I have to take you back to the fair this summer. This was the first fair that I let my 12 and 16 year old daughters walk around with their friends. I am a very protective mother, and worry about them constantly. My husband and I were taking our 4 and 6 year olds around to ride the rides of their choice. We were walking by the ferris wheel, and there stood a cute little girl in the arms of a very admiriring boy. This may sound like a very common occurance at the fair, but this was different. The girl was familiar in that she lives in Frenchtown and goes to school with my older girls. Her mother graduated a couple years after I did. Although I think her name is Jaidin or Jaylyn, I recogized her. The reason I mention this is because, the boy who was holding her was your son. For some reason when I looked at them, he looked at me in the eyes. <br /><br />Friday came and my daughters father came to pick her up for the weekend. He wanted to take both of my older girls to float the river. He told me they were going to park at McClay's bridge and float down to their house at Harpers Bridge Road. I told him that I didn't feel comfortable with that and told him that people loose their lives there every year. He laughed at me and told me to "cut the cord". I didn't find much humor in that at all!!! I told him the only way that I would allow them to go was if they were wearing life jackets and they needed to pay extra attention to under currents. They all laughed at me thinking that I was being rediculous. (sorry for the poor spelling)<br /><br />Saturday I went with my dad to a family reunion up in Pable. All day I felt very uneasy. My stomach was in knots and I felt like my blood presure was out of control. At around 5pm the tension increased to the point that I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my body. When I got home, my oldest daughter came home about 7:30, she informed me that when they went to go pick up their car, search and rescue were in the process of looking for a 14 year old boy. My heart sank with sickness. My thought instantly went out to that boys mother. I got on the police scanner to see if they had found him yet, watched the news at 10 and by then they were reporting that he had passed. <br /><br />I wanted to run to you...give you a hug....help to ease the pain that you must have been feeling at that point. As I sit here typing to you now...I can't hold back the tears. I am so sorry for your lose. You have been in my thoughts so often, I just want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers.<br /><br />I didn't know Alex, but he was a lovely young man from your posts and pictures. You were very blessed to have had the gift of Alex for 14 years. <br /><br />Tracy BorgialliTracy Borgiallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441331745532105429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26310223.post-68053827312873079442011-09-11T01:13:11.526-06:002011-09-11T01:13:11.526-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Tracy Borgiallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441331745532105429noreply@blogger.com
