This is not a post that I want to write or a topic that I even want to think about.  When I think of something I hope I never have to do, I think of death.  I don’t want to bury anyone in my family.  I know that’s not realistic.  My grandmother is getting older, my parents are getting older...everyone is getting older and death is a natural part of life.  But the one person I hope that I never have to bury is my son.
I feel like the worst pain that a parent can feel is when they have to bury their child.  I can’t say that I won’t feel the same way when my grandparents or my parents pass away, but my child...I don’t ever want to feel that pain.  It’s actually killing me to think about it right now.
Since we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, I will cherish every moment with my little man.  We both make mistakes, but I love him with all of my being.  So, if you are a parent and you read this, I hope that you love your children as much as I love my son.  Spend time with them and create lasting memories.  God forbid you should ever have to bury your child.  If you do, at least the memories will live on.
