		Here's a question. How is it The Black Crowes got linked to that LA hair metal scene. They're more of a hippy rock band than a bunch of glam queens? Reason I ask is because they were always in those shitty LA metal mags in the late 80s and early 90s. If I was a Black Crowe I would feel very aggrieved about that association.

I do get to see him and his brother (her eldest son) on a regular basis. Luca lives a few houses down from us and Lorenzo lives pretty close too. In the beginning it was so hard for me to see them because of the pain we were all feeling but I realized that they need as much normality in their lives as they can get right now. So I had to put my fears of spending time with them and breaking down aside so that they could still have the regular interactions with us like they used to have. Their birthdays are coming up next month and I know it will be hard for everyone having their first birthday without Mom around. 

Naturally they have good and bad days but it's still so raw for everyone. I should find out if we have a service like Elle's place around here because they certainly could do with all the help they can get. Luckily for the boys, their fathers are very stabel people who have always been in their lives. Luca is just so young. He's turning 9 next month and has become such a quiet little boy. 
Thank you for your prayers HRMG, as you know, I am a firm believer in prayer and apreciate everyone.

Stupid as this sounds, I still get angry when I try call or think I have to tell her about something funny in my day and she's not there. I wonder how long it will take for me to finally 'get this.'

		I can't even imagine how traumatic it must be to lose your mom at such a young age. I hope he has someone he can talk to. That certainly is a lot of change for him to try to deal with all at once. I'm sure he misses her just as much as you do. Do you get to see him a lot? I think it would do you both good if he could come over and spend some time with you and your family. I hope his dad and step-mom to be are understanding and supportive. We have something here in my area for grieving children called Elle's place. Is there anything like that where you are? You are in my thoughts and prayers Joe.      joedraper wrote: I bumped into my best friends ex husband in the store today. We were polite and pleasent to each other, like we'd have no reason not to be. After all, the parted on amicable terms. Then we got to talking about their son whose just broken his foot in five places. I asked how he was doing and Alain said he was just fine. Then he told me his fiance was pregnant so the wedding was postponed.. All I could think about at that point was Luca.. does he miss his mom being there to hold his hand through all of this? And by all of this I mean does he miss her being there when he had to have surgery to have the broken bones in his foot changed, is he ok with the changes of a new brother or sister on the way so soon after mom being totally taken out of the picture? No doubt he loves his dad but he was so close to his mom.. and no matter how much he hurrts, what joke or anecdote he wants to share with her of if he just wants her to tuck him in at night.. she'll never be there.. I wonder.. How is he really doing through all of this. If I'm this torn up.. how is my dear Luca doing without his mama?
