Default Wasn't a CF forum member but would of been.. My son

His name is Travis Vanderflught. He didn't make it to see all the joy of corvettes and this sweet forum but I know if he was alive today he would be starting to see the corvette life. When he was one month old he had an intestine tear and start to leak. The done surgery but nothing could be done. It was very hard to set around for a day waiting for him to pass. When he did of all days it had to be on mother's day. He was my only son. I have a daughter that is great but she is in to all the girl stuff like she sould be. I was just hoping to have a son to do the things that my dad and I used to do. I really miss him but we all know this is something we all have to deal with at one point. Not sure what else to say but thanks for reading.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your son, Travis. I cannot imagine anything worse than the loss of a child.

Thanks everybody. For quite some time I couldn't even talk about him but for some reason I enjoy it now. I have a very hard time dealing with death mostly because I don't want to accept it. I guess accepting it has to be done before a person can move on.
