Our Angel.....
Justin Lane
May 23 1984 to October 15th 1998
Justin was born on May 23,1984, with bright shining red hair. What a cutey he was! He changed my life that day, and as everyday went by we drew closer and closer. He had a fondness for animals, and 3-wheelers. He got his first puppy when he was 1, and named him Rastis. Rastis is still with us today, old, but still going.
When Justin was 5 he learned how to drive a 3-wheeler. I could tell that was his major goal in life, to ride a wheely better than anyone else. He started school in September of 1989, disliking it right off the bat, but then again, he had to leave Mom, you know how that is. He worked his way to 5th grade and on moving-up day he got award after award. After moving-up day summer vacation began and we went to Cape Cod to see the Ocean, staying with his Aunt and cousins.
Justin was killed on October 15,1998 riding home from school with one of his friends. The driver was goofing off and speeding and the truck went out of control and hit a utility pole on the passenger side. The pole sheared off and landed in Justin's lap, causing severe internal injuries,and loss of blood. I miss him soooooo much,and it hurts so bad...BUT,I am so glad for websites like this that show me life does go on, and that I am not alone.
Losing Justin has changed me in so many ways. I take things day to day; I never ever thought this could happen to me. I do not take things so lightly like I used to. As for our family, It's really to early to tell. All I know is we are all MISSING our best friend...
We haven't had many special occasions yet, but for Christmas we put up his little tree that he has had for 11 years in his bedroom. By his stone we put a wreath,and where he was killed there is a cross and a wreath hanging on it, and beside it is a great big huge candy cane made out of wood, for he loved candy canes. For his Birthday we are going to write messages on balloons and send them up to heaven.
The only advice I have for other bereaved parents is that there are people out there who care,and you are not alone even though at times it sure does feel like it...
