My Fundraising Page for Dragon Drive

Out of the Darkness Community Walk, Houston Texas, November 7, 2009.

UPDATE:  So far I have collected 60% of my goal of $300.00 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. 

Please see my link above and donate if you wish but at least look at it -- read my little description of what it was like to participate last year and the year before.  

I think we need to speak and holler out and howl in public about suicide and depression and this foundation is organized enough to be one way of doing this in an effective way.

xxoo to anyone who reads this

I feel dead inside. Just going thru the motions.
Miss you son.

Je me sens morte dans mon coeur. Et je continue à faire semblant.
Tu me manques mon fils.

Happy birthday, dear Ann! I know this is a special one ... where do the years go?! It has always been an honor to have you as a sister. And congratulations on the birth of your beautiful little grand-daughter, Lucie! Yes, Patrick would have loved to have been able to live to see both of these days. I hope your day is good. With love from lil sis

Je continue à penser contamment à toi, tu me manques, la douleur que tu as vécu tout seul me terrorise, j'essaie toujours de comprendre. Mais je sais que à ce moment-là tu n'avais pas d'autres solutions. Oh mon fils. Love you forever no matter what.

The day of Patrick's funeral in Paris, James, Betsey, Nicolas and I planted an olive tree for Patrick in James's backyard in Salem, Oregon. James had bought the tree. We each placed little round stones around the base of the tree. Last weekend I was in Oregon at James's -- the little tree has grown and it has buds and lovely silvery leaves. Love you all. Beth

Thinking of you all
Don't have anything to say
Just sending tenderness & strength
Reminder to deep breathe
And wanting to touch you
On your return to Paris
I will order flowers for the cemetery
For the dragon tomb
It is springtime again

With love,
lil sis

2009 - a year farther away from my son and his life. It feels like yesterday that I got that terrible phone call. And I still expect him to text me or to walk in the door.


love you Pat
your crazy mom

2009 - un an de plus qui m'éloigne de mon fils et sa vie. Ce coup de fil dévastateur c'est comme si je l'avais reçu hier. Je m'attends toujours à recevoir un SMS de lui ou de le voir entrer par la porte.


je t'aime Pat

Today I went to the little stone church I go to at times, and lit a candle for Patrick. It's his birthday. But I didn't blow the candle out.

Il y a 31 ans c'était un des plus beaux jours de ma vie - la naissance de Patrick. Aujourd'hui je chéris le temps trop court qu'il a passé ici, j'honore ses accomplissements. Et j'essaie de ne pas pleurer.



31 years ago today was one of the happiest days in my life - my son was born. Today I treasure the too-short time that he was here and honor his achievements. And try not to cry.

Dear Ann, As you know, I walked the Houston AFSP "Out of the Darkness Walk" with Laura and Cory and Noah. There is something transformative about participating. It is like you are part of something bigger than your own pain. You stand with strangers and share an extremely powerful bond of love and pain and loss. But there is also something else as you stand side by side in the face of this unthinkable experience of suicide survivorship and watch those blue balloons fly away. There is the bald fact that everyone there has a gaping hole in their lives -- but just to stand there together was so strong. When we all released the balloons, ours with messages to Patrick, little two-year-old Noah was a little upset. "I want the balloon back!" he cried out. Cory said instinctively, to realistically comfort him, "It's never coming back", and then realized what she had said ... we stood there with tears streaming down our faces, watching the balloons fade into the blue blue Texas sky. I will walk again next year. Patrick's birthday is coming up very soon. I am sending you the T-shirt, music, and bracelet from the Out of the Darkness Walk 2008 -- I will also send you Patrick's childhood drawings that I mentioned I had found. That is just how it is. I send you hugs and wish I could see you.
With love, lil sis

I went to the pos retreat this past weekend and felt so safe there being with others who are walking in my shoes it was a true blessing being around everyone in the group wish you could come to the states and attend it would be wounderful for you to attend one of the retreats they have two a yeatr one in the spring and one in the fall you do come to america I see and it is in tennessee they have a butterfly dorm that ten women can stay in the cost is only for the food which was 60 dollas this year nothing else they will pick you up at the airport and take you back they fly into nashville which is about an 45 minute drive so think about it would be wounderful for you I truly believe.

Dear Ann, I want you to know that I think of Patrick every day and every night. The vastness is great. I connect with the picture you put on your site here -- of the person sitting on the rock outcrop over the abyss with the question mark over their head. There is a rawness that stays raw. I send you love daily and hope you will take as much balm as you can from me ... I miss you.
Much love, your sister Beth / Elisabeth

I'm glad you are home safe :) I had no phone number to contact you :(
I pray your family has a generator and heals quickly from the trauma they just experienced and are still going through.

I remember Hurrican Katrina very well, the devastation affected me and so many in my family. It was a type of grief all in itself.

I'd love to have you come for a visit. Next time when you prepare for your trip, make a note to get my phone number from me.
:)
After your post, I went to your site quite a few times to be sure you were okay. While there a top friend of yours caught my eye. I felt drawn to her, I contacted her, she has become a special friend.
:)
Please stay in touch.

May the Lord bless you and yours every day.

Il y a un éléphant dans la pièce.

Il est grand et accroupi, alors il est difficile de passer autour.

Mais nous arrivons à passer avec des "Comment ça va?" et "Je vais bien».

Et mille autres formes de bavardage.

Nous parlons du temps. Nous parlons du travail. Nous parlons de n'importe quoi.....
Sauf de l'éléphant dans la pièce.


Il y a un éléphant dans la pièce.

Nous savons tous qu'il est là.

On pense constamment à l'éléphant pendant qu’on discute ensemble. Il est toujours dans nos pensées.

Car voyez-vous, c'est un très grand éléphant. Il nous a tous fait mal.

Mais nous ne parlons pas de l'éléphant dans la pièce.


S'il vous plaît, dites son nom.

S’il vous plaît dites "______________" encore une fois.

Je vous en prie, parlons de l'éléphant dans la pièce.


Car si je ne peux pas le faire, alors vous me laissez …
Seule.... dans la pièce.... avec un éléphant.
