April 1st. He was 18 years old. We thought he might have had the flu. Decreased appitite, sleeping more, seemed to have indigestion. It started on a Thursday and on Saturday I decided I would take him to the Dr. on Monday if he still didn't feel well. He went with family to pick up a cousin returning for a visit from boot camp. We let him go because he wanted to so badly. With flight delays and all it was 3:00 am before they got back home. I had worked third shift and got home at 8:30 am. I slept for a while. We didn't think too much of it being 11:00 am and he still wasn't up because of the late night they'd had, but went to his room to check on him...and he was gone. They say it was probably a virus that had attacked his heart.
God is sustaining us but I miss him so much I can hardly stand it sometimes. I have cried everyday for over five months now. My husband, daughter, younger son and I are doing pretty well with God and the support of family and friends. I haven't posted anything for quite some time because of a big job change and I didn't hunt last year at all. My ten year old son wants to hunt with me this year and I've posted on pow-wow asking for advice. I just felt that I should share this.
