Yes he is, Cheryl. That is awesome. I know that he is quite the busy angel.
The FB page is up and running- it's 'Loving Memory Jimmy Faus' lots of people have posted pics. I am hoping that my ADD allows me to sit longer and learn how to navigate through FB better so that  can add more pics in the albums.
Stay Safe All

Dear friends- I was informed by my daughter a few weeks back that Jimmy's FB was gone. She called me and asked if I had done it. That answer is no. I DID contemplate it for the simple fact that the girls would come to me upset about things that were posted- I grew weary of hearing them upset and told them to just stay off of the site. That's the way I protected myself. I chose to not go on and I allowed it to remain. I didn't want to be the one that took all of that away. So Thank You to whomever removed it, now I am not the bad guy.
I don't know how many of you out there believe in the afterlife, but I am one that believes strongly. The last time I went to a medium to speak with Jimmy- he kept saying he was sorry and she said that he is feeling so guilty. He would say it over and over again "Mom, I'm sorry". His soul is not at peace yet- I believe he is watching and hates seeing the way things are here on Earth after his passing. I want him to be a happy and carefree spirit- maybe getting rid of that FB will help him to feel more free.
I have a very special friend that is helping me through all of this and all of the emotions that go with losing  child. It is the WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD!!!! I struggle daily with the "what ifs"... I do not wish this on ANYONE- but I know life is filled with all of this shit- you wonder how God allows such things.
Jimmy also wanted me to try counseling because he watches as I struggle- I don't know... maybe I should - but I have always been so strong and independent, that would seem to be the total opposite of these characters.
In talking with some of my friends- they said that they have seen parents put up a memorial FB that people could go to and post pictures or events that happened with them and the loved one. I will set this up sometime today and you all will be able to post pictures of Jimmy's life with you on there. We will keep it happy and not stressful to anyone- I hope!

This morning I was cleaning Jimmy's bathroom and when I got the cleaner out of his cupboard, I saw all of his toiletries. His body wash, shampoo, Q-tips, etc. All of the lotions that I used on his feet- it rushed so many memories back. Jimmy LOVED when I rubbed his feet. One day when I walked into his hospital room, he looked at me and asked "Have you rubbed my feet lately?" It was funny- we laughed about it for weeks. He kept saying- I can't believe I said that- that was rude. Never the less- he got another foot rub!!
That boy went through so much pain- so much anguish- I could never even begin to imagine what it feels like to know that you are facing what he had to face. One day he asked me "How did Rick do this?" I told him that it was because Rick was as strong as he (Jimmy) was. I really miss that boy- I still don't know why he had to be the one to go... there are soooo many others that need to go from this Earth. All of the assholes that rape and murder- ones that attack the babies and the elderly- ones who steal food from our starving children's mouths... why Jimmy, why MY BOY?! Jimmy would have turned 28 next Sunday. We are having our family dinner with some friends as well to celebrate a wonderful life/soul! It will be complete with pictures, stories, memories and of course a cake from Oregon Dairy. I can just keep holding on to the fact that Jimmy is around us every where- he is another angel in my corner! Love you boy...
