I Cry For Tommy: This Grieving Mother...

By Gloria Faye Brown Bates

Read about pure grief as a mother writes her pain of losing her son, her only child. She writes to never forget Tommy.As she typed each word, every stroke was pure pain from her heart, diamond tear drops fell from her eyes. If she could, she'd design a 'Grieving Mother's Ring'... diamond tear drops cascading into a diamond pool. In her mind, she can see it, wish for it... maybe one day.She writes so, one day her grandson and granddaughter can find her, know her as a person, to know they were loved, thought of.Please don't forget Tommy. Now, that she has written her book about Tommy, she can finally have peace of mind. She kept her own promise to... never forget Tommy, to make his memory live on.Tommy Mitchell SiddenBorn: 11-20-1969Died: 5-29-2010 Tommy died at the young age of 40. He made it to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, just in time to run, play with his little 3 year old son at the ocean. They were running, squealing, laughing when Tommy collapsed on the sand. People nearby were watching, came to protect his little son until his mommy could get there.The phone rang... a woman answered 200 miles away in North Carolina, with a smiling voice, seeing it was her son calling on the Caller ID.A man's voice said, :ma'am, I have a man lying here on the sand. He's not breathing". He had picked Tommy's cellphone up, dialed the last number called.The woman never felt her smile slip away, follow her into the Dark World. She didn't remember very much for many months. This was when this mother became 'this grieving mother'. She knew pain intimately in one form or other all her life... this pain was greater than any she ever had known in her whole life. Please help her to remember Tommy.
