His Legacy- HELPING, LAUGHING, CARING
  
Jonathan Robert Allen was my only son, I am thankful to God though for sending him to me. He was a very special boy, and a joy to my heart, in his short 18 years on this earth he touched more lives and helped more people than some do who is left here and able to grow old, his laughter, joy, and giving to others will be carried out; through his sister's and I. And the rest of his family, so what he started in his short life with us will not be forgotten! Our family chain is broken here on this earth, but! as God calls each of us home our chain will link again.

WISH LIST -LOVE HIS MOTHER----JONATHAN MY SON IT'S NOW BEEN 3-MONTHS{MISSING U LIKE IT YESTERDAY}
Grieving Parents Wish List
I wish my child hadn't died. I wish I had him back.
I wish you wouldn't be afraid to speak my child's name. My child
lived and was very important to me. I need to hear that he was
important to you also.
If I cry and get emotional when you talk about my child, I wish you
knew that it isn't because you have hurt me. My child's death is the cause of my tears. You have talked about my child and you have
allowed me to share my grief. I thank you for both.
Being a bereaved parent is not contagious, so I wish you wouldn't
shy away from me. I need you now more than ever.
I need diversions, so I do want to hear about you, but I also want
you to hear about me. I might be sad and I might cry, but I wish you would let me talk about my child; my favorite topic of the day.
I know that you think of and pray for me often. I also know that my child's death pains you too. I wish you would let me know these things through a phone call, a card or note, or a real big hug.
I wish you wouldn't expect my grief to be over. These first years
are traumatic for me, but I wish you could understand that my grief will never be over. {I will suffer the death of my child until the day I die.}
I am working hard in my recovery, but I wish you could understand
that I will never fully recover. I will always miss my child and I
will always grieve that he is gone.
I wish you wouldn't expect me "not to think about it" or "be
happy". Neither will happen for a very long time, so don't frustrate
yourself.
I don't want to have a "Pity party", but I do wish you would let me
grieve. I must hurt before I can heal.
{I wish you understood how my life has shattered. I know it is
miserable for you to be around me when I'm feeling miserable. Please be as patient with me as I am with you.}
When I say, "I'm doing okay", I wish you could understand that I
don't "feel" okay and that I struggle daily.
I wish you knew that all of the grief reactions I'm having are very
normal. Depression, anger, hopelessness and overwhelming sadness are all to be expected. So please excuse me when I'm quiet and withdrawn or irritable and cranky.
Your advice to "take it one day at a time" is excellent advice.
However, a day is too much and too fast for me right now. I wish you could understand that I'm doing good to handle an hour at a time.
Please excuse me if I seem rude, certainly not my intent. Sometimes the world around me goes too fast and I need to get off. When I walk away, I wish you would let me find a quiet place to spend time alone.
I wish you understood that grief changes people. When my child died, a big part of me died with him. I am not the same person I was before my child died and I will never be that person again.
I wish very much that you could understand ~ understand my loss and my grief.
But....
I pray daily that you will never understand
