Title: Picture of Ami's son Scott

I scanned this snapshot of Scott and his girl friend for Ami and I'm sending it to the board as an attachment.  I hope this works!

Thank You, Bill.
 I wanted to thank everyone who gave me so much love and strength after Scott died. I wanted to share him with you. He is there with his girlfriend,in his senior year in high school.
 You,on the board, helped me so, so much that I will never be able to thank you.            Love    Ami

Ami,
What a sweet boy. Gosh, I wish we could change time and make him come back. Why did he have to make that choice???? I just can't imagine how much you miss him.
Love, Beth

It is amazing how hard it is to see his picture.  It makes the his death even more powerfully tragic for me.  It is very difficult to not wish the hands of time could turn back.  Seeing his photo just makes my heart break all over again for you Ami - Love, GS

Seeing Scott, so radiantly happy, with his sweet girlfriend, and so full of life, make me cry Ami.

Tears for you, tears for the loss of such a joyful looking young person.

Scott's picture has had a powerful impact, truly.

God bless you with his comfort and peace, dear Ami

Love, Leah

You know ,Deb, people always commented about his beautiful smile and his eyes DID smile, too. He did  volunteer work and good things. He went on  trips to build wells for communities in Jamacia and Haiti. He tutored inner city kids in math and did Habitat for Humanity ,on Saturday mornings.                      Ami

Ami,

He sounds as beautiful inside as he was outside.  Keep your memories close and honor his life to all, always.  Have you thought about making a memorial web page for Scott. 

Maybe a place where people who have lost children can add and share their hearts,love,grief.  This could be a way of helping you heal and healing with others.

He was certainly a beautiful Boy!

Lots of love to you Ami,

Deb

Ami,

When I first learned of his death, I thought I would never be capable of understanding all the pain you suffered. I imagined it so big that I couldn't grasp it. All the problems I had became small compared to it.

But that picture...

Wow, I can tell you now I can feel at least a little of your pain. I have tears in my eyes and a new understanding of the preciousness of life, that was so beautifully portrayed on his face.

Love,
htt

Papillion told me that one day I would have a place ,in my heart, for beautiful memories of Scott. Sharing him with you,on the board, has opened up that place ,for me.
You have gone through everything with me(and still are),but now I have shared the beauty of him with you and s/thing healed  in me, from doing that.
 I don't really understand it,but it is not important to. THANK YOU SO MUCH.     Love   Ami

Clean eyes, slean smile, transparent soul, he must have been a very generous person, it transpires from his eyes and his smile.

Do not forget that he is looking upon you, is watching you and taking care of you. He is your guardian angel.

So, so, so, handsome, he looks so much like my son......... :oops:

Lupita,
 He WAS a generous person with his heart and his time. I know he is in Heaven and I will see him ,again. How do people get through this without that? I can see how they would go insane and never come back.         Ami

Dear Ami - Thank you for sharing this photo of Scott with us.  He is clearly a beautiful sweetheart.  He's just so radiant.  I feel the same as you - that you will see him again. 

Or also something I think of about people who have passed is from the movie Gladiator when the characters say, "I will see them again, but not yet."  I know - a fight movie - but it's very true and moving I think.

Dear Leah,
 I had a really hard day, yesterday. It felt like every cell was filled with sadness.I was bone tired. At the end of the day,though, I had a sense that Scott was "safe"(in Heaven) and everything was OK.
 I ordered some supplements for the adrenals ,which GS recommended.The toll of grief on your body is unbelievable. Many of the M's in the Grief support group never got their periods ,again, after they lost their children.I can tell that mine wants to come, but can't.
 They told me that you don't realize the physical toll that grief takes.People know about the emotional and expect it,but not the physical.
 Today, I am so thankful to think of Scott as "safe". He took a trip to another dimension. In reality,that is all it really is. My greatest joy is that he IS there and he really is safe. Thank you,Leah, for being a wonderful friend.     Love    Ami

Dear (((((((( Ami )))))))))

The supplements for your adrenals will certainly be most beneficial to your physical well being, for they are indeed highly recommended to anyone having PTSD, and in essence, you have been in shock, trauma and grief, with loss, and so you are bound to be tired and have fatigue.

Thinking of you, with my prayers too.

Love, Leah
