We lost our 20yr old son Jacob last Oct after a short 13month battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma. The full moon gets me everytime, I can tell if it’s coming up to a full moon just the way the grief hits me 🙁 and the tears come & I ‘own’ them as they flow. No parent should outlive their children, it’s just not the way its meant to be.
