Lost my son last night

My son Glenn passed on last night at 40. An autopsy is scheduled as to what the cause was. We had a habit since he was a child of giving each other a hug and saying 'I love you' as our greeting.
Last friday was my last conversation with him. My last words with him was 'I love you'. as were his. A child is never to old to give and receive hugs. Hug your child today. Glenn attended services every Sunday, plus Bible study during the week. Prayers for Glenn appreciated. Thanks
 
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.


Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.



When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.


He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.



He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.


This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:


"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."



The LORD replied:


"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
 
Will pray for your family at this time, so glad to hear he was faithful, gives hope for the future meeting
 
Glenn, I'm so sorry. You and your family have my deepest sympthy. Nobody knows what losing a child is like until they go through that agony. We lost our daughter suddenly ten years ago at 27 and after going through what we did, I still don't know what to say. Time does heal and with enough time the awful weight on your shoulders will eventually leave. Your final words to him will be sadly but fondly remembered for as long as you live. My final gesture to my daughter was a kiss on the forehead. Jim
 
Don't even know what to say. Deepest condolences. We lost a daughter 30 yers ago. You never get over it,you just learn to live with it.
 
Glenn,

We've never met and probably never will but my heart is grieving for you. Might son is 47 years old now and I can't even imagine the grief I'd feel from losing him. Like you and your son, my son and I are very close.

May the Lord be precious to you and your family at this time.

I am so sorry for your loss. I pray God brings comfort for your broken hearts.

Your last words to each other are the most beautiful words you could have shared with one another.
 
My deepest sympathy with you and your family sir. I can't imagine what you are going through right now.

So sorry for your loss....not much to say but next time I see my son and daughter they are going going to get hugs and told I Love them!

So sorry to hear that Glen I send you prayers for comfort at this time.

I have a son somewhere ?? I made up my mind the last time I saw him to Hug and tell him I loved him. And said I never got the chance to tell my Dad that. Must have been a awkward moment for him.. He pulled out of my driveway , and burnt rubber for 100 ft up the road.. He never came back.. his house is empty now ,he moved up north somewhere, maybe someday he will be back, but I hope he is not too late.
 
I am so sorry for you and yours. As others have stated You should never have to bury a child. My Prayers go out to you. Dale
 
At my age I have lost many friends and relatives none are easy but one must learn to go on with life and remember that you are living not only for yourself but for those who passed on before you.

My heart breaks for you. I am so glad that you let us know he was a good Christian man. You can be assured will will hug again some day. Bless you and your family.
 
You have my deepest sympathy. I know whereof you speak. I lost my 43 Year old son to cancer last year. When you get over this, or rather when the hurt finally subsides a bit-and it will, at least you'll know you have survived the worst emotional hurt a man can endure. I still get misty eyed on occasion. I am so sorry for your loss. TDF
 
So sorry to hear of your loss. i am glad you and your son bonded well. My Dad never told me he loved me but one time and that was after I told him. He was near death then. i have a son 30 years old and tell him every time I see him that I love him. One never knows when it is going to be the last time. Prayers with you and your family.
 
PaGlenn, I'm so glad you and your son spoke those words to each other.

"I love you..." ...the last words my girlfriend and I said to each other; less than an hour later she passed on in a traffic accident.

A lesson learned in the grief support group: If you were given a math problem to solve and told to go in the corner and come back in - two minutes, two years, two days or two hours; if you didn't work on the problem, you haven't dealt with it and it lingers...time alone is not a 'great healer' as it doesn't solve or heal what you are and will feel.

Let yourself grieve...work at it, cry, share with others. Your grief is just that, YOUR grief. No one else knows how you hurt.

You have already begun the healing process, as you have shared this burden with folks on this board and maybe moved some to express kindness to others. That is taking big and difficult steps when you surely are hurting so much.

May you find peace.
 
Peace be with you. Take with you the blessings of every day spent together, Priceless. Was he a father? Jim
 
I feel your loss, my son died at age 21. Our children are supposed to outlive us. It's quite painful when they don't.
 
Very sorry Glenn. I can't imagine the anguish you are going through. You will no doubt see him again one day, if it is any consolation. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Bob
 
Beyond the darkness, light. Beyond the sorrow, peace. We wish you everything you need to get through this difficult time.
 
My deepest condolences to you and yours. Its such a tragedy when one is taken in the prime of life. . .
 
So very sorry Glenn...May the Lord who holds us all be a source of comfort and strength to you and your entire family.
 
Glen. So sorry for your great loss.Your son sounded like mine. Strong, considerate and loving. Bless your heart. You did a wonderful job of raising him ,if only for a short time. God bless you and yours Most sincerly LOU and family.
 
Very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. I'll be thinking of, and praying for, you and your family during this difficult time.
 
So sorry for your loss. It sounds like you and your son ahd a great relationship and that he was a great person of faith. God will comfort you and the fond memories of your son will last forever.
 
Prayers sent your way. Nothing we can share will take the pain, but please accept out sympathies.
 
My sincerest condolences to you and your family. You all, and Glenn, will be in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Hopefully you have some peace in your last words and hugs.
 
sorry to hear that, losing parents is sad, but losing children is not right and sad sad sad.
 
Keep your head up and don't be afraid to talk with someone a good friend etc, they will listen. All part of the healing and venting process.

Lost my sister a few years ago and saw toll on my parents. Remember the good times, they will always be with you.

Dear Glenn,

I am very sorry for your loss. We lost a daughter at the age of eight many years ago. What kept us going and comforted us was knowing that God was holding her in the palm of His hand. May He do the same with your son.
 
o"h god my heart goes out to you
lost my son , 34, earlier this year, due to freakin dope, great kid, just never really found his way,
wish i could pass on words that would ease your pain, but of course they don"t exist
bob featherstone
 

I"m so sorry to hear of your sad loss of your son, Im only 2 years younger and it kinda makes a person think a little. I am not a praying kinda guy here but thinking a lot about you and your family at this difficult time.
Robert
 
So sorry to read this, may God give you and your family the strength to see you through this saddest of sad times. Try to find some comfort in knowing your son is with Him now.
 
I don"t know why your son passed but you had a good system going, He knew you loved him.
 
I know what you are feeling tonight, I lost a 18 year old son in a fishing accident a while back. People that don't know better will tell you in time you will get over it, that is not right, in time you will get to whwre you can live with it but you will never get over it. SORRY!!
 
Sorry for your loss. Got me to thinking back about my dad, don't ever remember telling him I loved him. He has been gone for fifty three years.
 
I know how you are feeling having lost our son at age 20.
Wish I had known the consequences of the shame
I feel for not settling differences with my son before it was too late.
Please, never ever leave differences with loved ones unsettled. If you don't get a chance to say you're sorry you will have to live with the shame the rest of your life, as I do.
Jim
 
Glenn, I too add my condolences to you and your Family in this untimely loss of your son. , Like You, I too, never pass up a time to Tell my son I Love him! and encourage others to do the same to their loved ones!
Lean on the Lord at this time and HE will get You through. There are No words available to adequately express Our sorrow in your Loss, and the Hole that is left in your Heart.
My prayers are going out to You. Just Know that he is with the Lord now, Probably doing something that Only he could do.
Later,
John A.
 
His wish would be that you place the love you shared with him on his daughter. That is a both a pleasure, and a fulfillment that brings closure to a broken circle. Jim
 
So sorry for your loss, but you had a great system going there. My younger daughter started doing that a few years ago and now the entire family tells each other, "I love you.", whether face to face or on the phone, because, as she says, "You just never know." My prayers for you and your family. Lowell.
 
Thanx and God bless you all for your prayers and well wishes. Medical Examiner office said it was heart related. I will have to wait for the full report.
 
after loosing a sister, my better half, four close peopole all in one year,i know your loss hurts deeply,, my paryers for you and your family's...
