Hello
::Sigh::
It's so difficult to utter even one syllable right now .... It's like drowning .... Where you feel the sharp pains of breathing water into your lungs, and you're about to lose
The pain I feel is so deep.
I got the call that no parent wants to hear today. My son, my baby boy ..... My beautiful 'RoJo' who was going to be a cop ... The sweetest of all the children. The constant lover. The bouncing curls "LIKE A G6" Roll from here to there instead of crawl ...torture his brother by pooping in their bathwater and chuckling so hard his whole body shook..... The tiny 24 week old baby with his sideways egg head (inside joke) ....
This miracle baby that we watched fight for his life repeatedly ......

And the only thing that could make it worse is the manner in which it happened.
I'd wish this on no one.

We all say "It's not your fault"
And we all mean it.
But being on this side of it?? It's going to take a long long while to actually BELIEVE something that i thought I already knew.
I'm alternating between denial, raw emotion, numbness, complete shutdown, wanting to blame the other family then instantly feeling guilty for that as I know they must be hurting, though not the same as me, just as much.
I can't say much more now. My physical symptoms to this emotional pain, this void are difficult to navigate.
Bottom line.
I have to get to Texas AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! My little boy has lost his life and I HAVE to get there! We work for ourselves. We aren't rich and can't just afford to pick up and leave immediately. If we had the money for all the expenditures of getting cross country, I would already be gone. But, I don't. And, I don't know what the funeral arrangements will be...I've never done this and I'm not thinking clearly....but I'm assuming customary would be 50-50? The amount isn't the concern. I just want to make sure that somehow I have more than enough cash to get there, get the worst event of my life handled well (because he deserves that), and be able to get back home and properly grieve.
I could really use a tire rotation too, for safety reasons, but I won't press my luck.
Look I have no idea how this is going to happen I just know that it HAS TO. My faith is in God that he's already "been before me and fought the battles he knew I couldn't win." So I'm making this campaign, praying ceaselessly, and then not even checking it for at least 3 days. Please...if there's a tug at your heart and you're able....please, PLEASE - ANYTHING HELPS
