I'm so very for your loss..too young to die. The story about the car accident victim is very powerful too. Your cousin may still contact you later in her life. She may be deaf, but I'm sure she can write and could very well want to contact her birth family when she is older.  |
| Date: 9/14/2011 6:29:00 PM ( From Author ) From Authorid: 65040 She is 22 now and yes could write. My sister took sign language in college but not sure how good she is at it. You never knoww as an adult now not looking for her birth family she may never want too. God knows her adoptive parents might not have told her she was adopted. Some people have grown up never knowing they were adopted because their parents were afraid they may not love them anymore or want to bother with them because they found their real family. I hope may be one day she would have someone contact us. |

It wasn't long after my sister met him on her friend's school bus and talk to him that he had to move away and he took his life. May be it really upset him. Or because he was almost 18 may be he was afraid of his parents being around him more. May be he didn't want to be around them. Or like I said may be he got fed up with constantly being moved foster family to foster family and just couldn't wait another year when he would be able to get out on his own. What I don't understand also is why they wouldn't allow him to see his other relatives and only let his parents see him. That was the worst choice they made. Wasn't fair at all. He should have been able to see us his relatives and not his parents. They didn't deserve to see him after what they did to his brother. I still think my aunt hasn't desevered to see him grow up. She never cared. At his funeral all she did was just sit and stare into space. Not a reaction on her face. No tears. His step father said my aunt was with "the body". Which had angered a lot of us. I don't care if Jonathan wasn't his real son. He should have showed some respect and called him by his name. Just because he wasn't alive doesn't mean he has no name anymore. Dead or alive you still use a persons name. |
| Date: 10/10/2011 8:44:00 PM ( From Author ) From Authorid: 65040 My mom had the reaction his mom should have had. My mom bawled her eyes out. My mom NEVER cries. I have only ever saw my mom cry twice my whole life. First time was because she felt so sick and didn't know what was wrong with herself. Dad took her to the ER and I guess that was when they diagnosed her with diabeties. |
| Date: 10/10/2011 8:47:00 PM ( From Author ) From Authorid: 65040 My mom walked away from his casket bawling feeling so guilty and that his death was her fault. But it wasn't. I cried seeing my mom in that pain. We never knew though that he was friends with a relative on my dad's side of the family for a long time. The relative never knew we were related to his friend. I wish he was still around but what happens in life happens for a reason. |

Thank you for remembering Jonathan !! My time with him was short and we only had a few memories together. I always loved him; always will. And since my return, I have been blessed with a son who looks, acts and behaves like Jonathan. (Ironically, his mother named him Jonathan also ---- without knowing about the former one !!) The story reported about me in the newspaper (1987)was not accurate but it is in the distant past and I cannot change anything. My losses have been GREAT; the biggest loss was Jonathan David. I continue living my life and thank God for a second chance, a second Jonathan. I never met my parents; I was adopted. I understand the pain of not having a family and the loneliness of not knowing. I spent a long time in prison and alot of time missing Jonathan. A Spiritual person --- who did not know me --- had a vision of Jonathan and his deceased brother in the arms of Jesus; she said she could see both of them at Peace; smiling. And now I have the spirit of Jonathan living through my new son who is trying to let me know that he knows the Truth. It will be 10 years since you left the earth, son; you are not forgotten. You are missed.... Love Forever: Dad |
| Date: 4/24/2012 7:38:00 PM ( From Author ) From Authorid: 65040 This saturday April 28th my birthday it will be 25 years ago Jonathan's brother was murdered. I have to live the rest of my life every year my birthday comes around knowing my cousin died so I could be born. I am not the only one in my family who was born after another family member has passed away. One of my cousin's oldest son was born on the same day one of my uncles past away. |
| Date: 12/21/2014 7:55:00 PM ( From Author ) From Authorid: 65040 I found out that my cousin isn't deaf after all. I swore my family members told me she was. But she was abused by her father. So if we get the chance to reunite the family would love that. Sorry my family can tell me one thing and I can bring it up years later and they tell me they never said such a thing when they did. I also should have said it's seems as if my cousin's life was taken to start my life. It doesn't matter what the newspaper said. You murdered your new born infant son they same day I was born. It's great you have a son like Jonathan but he is not Jonathan. I really wanted to meet Jonathan. It was hard seeing him alive and breathing one day and a week later he was gone. |
| Date: 5/7/2018 10:13:00 PM ( From Author ) From Authorid: 65040 It's been tough living the rest of my life being the living reminder of another family members death. Especially when that family member was just an infant themselves when their life was cut too short. Sometimes I wonder if family members have treated me not so nicely over the years because of it. Even though it was not my fault he passed away. I was just an innocent child being brought into the world the same day because it was my time. Every year my birthday comes around I think about it. I was just 31 years. Jonathan is now in Heaven with his brother and mom. His mom passed away after she suffered a stroke leaving her a quadriplegic. It sucks when you grow up knowing about family members but never really got to know them or got to meet them and one day they are gone for good. Knowing you will never get to know them. There is only his sister left and I may never get to see her. |
