Dillion Shane Treviño 04/15/02 - 08/17/21 My only son Dillion just turned 19 four months prior to his death. My Son Dillion was murdered in front of me in our apartment by a homeless 18 year old we took in. We didn't know him, but we had an extra room, so we invited him in. He asked to look at my son's gun then shot him 7x. My son made it upstairs to protect me from the guy. He pointed the gun in my face as I heard the gun click. He tried to rob us then ran away. My son told me he loved me. I told him I loved him too. When I got to the hospital, it was too late. I love you, Dillion.

I am very sorry for your loss. My life has been full of pain I know how you feel. I was deployed 7 times to Afghanistan to Iraq. I seen so many young men pass they were all heroes. My son when he turned 18 joined the Army like I did and like myself went to Afghanistan he returned but came back with some form of ALS. He passed three years ago Oct 7th, he was my only son and only child, he had a beautiful wife and daughter he never was able to see. He was 27. I don't get to see my granddaughter she lives far away and his wife spends time with her family which I completely understand we do FaceTime her but it's not the same. Anyway I hope you're doing better.

On the 2st of July 2019, my beautiful boy, Caleb, was in an accident. He was on his way home after my nephew’s 21st party. Both boys were in the car. My nephew was hurt, but 2 days later on July 23rd, I lost my son. I cannot believe such a precious gem was taken away from me. It hurt so much. I cannot control my tears. My heart is torn apart. Heaven gained an angel while a mother lost her gem. ‘Til we meet again, baby boy. Love you always.

I share your grief and empathize with the words of your poem. My son took his own life last November. It's an earth-shattering experience, but I'm sure there is somewhere our spirits go after death - I've seen it in a dream just before my mother died. I'm certain it was her way of showing me that I need not be sad at her passing. Here's a little poem that might help you:

Don't be sad. I haven't gone; I'm just not here anymore.
I'm always with you wherever you go, of that you can be sure.
Remember that, and don't look back; that's all I ask, no more.
So don't be sad. I haven't gone; I'm just not here anymore.

I lost my oldest son on September 23, 2016. He was just 21 years old. He and my husband were riding in the back seat of some guy's car that they worked with on their way home from work when the driver of their car decided to pass the car in front of them and went head on into a oncoming semi. Everyone in the car passed away. I was told to give it time because everyone said that time heals everything, but the ones who say that are the ones fortunate enough not to know the heartache and gut-wrenching pain caused from losing their child. Reading these poems tonight has helped me in a way I can't put into words, but I want to say thank you, and I am so sorry for every ones losses.

I lost my only child on February 13, 2018. She was 26 and 6 and a half months pregnant. She was involved in a motor vehicle accident. She was engaged to be married on April 28, 2018. I lost both my daughter and granddaughter. My whole world is turned upside down. Sometimes I can't even breathe.
