Sad post, just warning you

reinedecajun

First off let me just say I don't want anyone saddened by this post, that's my orders .

In two days it will be the anniversary of my son's birth/death. He would have been 13 and there is not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I was full term when I had him and he passed away 8 hours before he was born from interuterine pneumonia. It rocked my world to the very core, but I lifted myself up, moved forward and always held him close to my heart. As time has gone by I feel that he is someone that I can talk about and now not get saddened by his passing. I don't know when or how that came to be but im comfortable with knowing that I will be with him again someday. 

Of course every year this time I think of him more and try to add something to his garden we started a few years ago. Me and a friend were talking about what I might do this year and she brought up age progression sketch's. Where the artist sketches what the person would have looked like had he aged.  The police use them in forensic cases and to help find missing children. I think it would be heaven sent to see what he would've looked like. Then I don't know if that would just be to much and how it would affect me. Part of me really really wants to do it and just have a chance to see his face..possibly. The other part of me gets choked up just thinking about getting it done..but in both situations im still glad to see it.

I just don't know if I should pursue this or not. I understand if you dont feel comfortable giving advice regarding this, I just don't know who else to ask.

That is heartbreaking, I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

If it were me, I wouldn't do the sketch.  I think I would want to just hold his memory in my heart as he was.  I would be afraid the sketch might not be good enough or migh

I am so, so sorry for the loss of your son.  I've seen you mention him before, but never knew what happened.  I can't even imagine.

If you're asking whether we would do the age progression picture or not (I think you are, so forgive me

That must have been awful. Sorry you had to go through that.   I don't think I would do the sketch.  I haven't been in your situation, but we had a close family friend who passed away as a teenager and when I think of him, I like to think of

Thanks yall...i'm going to sleep on it. If I decide to get it done I think doing it at a different time may help also.
