Proud father here, to my late sixteen-year-old son and only child, Jonathan Taylor Kelly, who passed in 2013 of a rare heart defect. He lives in me stronger today than I could ever imagine, and I use his legacy today to help myself and help others.

If not cancelled due to COVID this year, I would actually be in Atlanta tomorrow, at the HQ of Delta Air Lines for the fourth time in five years, giving the opening Keynote Speech, followed by several grief recovery workshops throughout the day, to bereaved Delta employees who this compassionate company allows to fly in from around the world and gather for a day of bereavement support.

We never want to lose a loved one, but it's what we do with the love that remains that helps us move forward...never without them, but with them always becoming who we can be...should be.

PM me if you ever just need someone to talk with who has been through the fire...you are never alone!

that is so sad about your son....infact, all these sad stories....

I often think about death...

it really shouldn't shock us but it does....

we must all go thru it like or not....

like most, I'm a wimp...I want to go first before my husband....certainly can't imagine losing children before I'm gone....but this damn covid and the injections....many worries...
