Beautiful tribute to your son, Phillip. Watched the entire footage. He was another handsome Shelton. Some losses in life we will never understand. We just try to be grateful of the time we had them, and knowing we will be missing them forever. But personality, I'll never fully understand "why" I just learn to live with it. Thank you for the video. God bless
MICHELLE, I just stumbled upon your blog, and I must say, the WARMTH, LOVE and PAIN therein moved me beyond description. After reading several of your posts about Phil and grief, I literally just watched ALL 16:20 of this video! I hope and pray that your grief has diminished greatly, and that celebrating the lives of everyone you currently love remains the order of your days. Honestly, reading your blog posts about Phil have made my entire night! THANK YOU for putting your feelings into words. The beauty of each and every post is that they resonate with EVERYBODY who has a pulse. I wish you the VERRRRRY BEST that life has to offer. You DESERVE nothing less. God bless you. FOREVER. AND. ALWAYS.

When Phillip died, he had boxes of elephants. Weird. I had never seen elephants in his apartment. Hmmm. What is this about? I took the elephants and dusted them off and carefully placed them strategically up on my pot shelf as decor. He must have had a reason he kept them so I’m keeping them. […]

January 17, 2040, is a significant day for me. It will mean I have gone through 10,000 days without Phil. My son. My baby whom I held in my arms and looked deeply into his eyes. The baby I bonded with, my foxhole buddy. My first born. My boy. In his book, Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell […]
Advising a Friend about Loss – What Not to do! Today I was visiting with someone whom I respect very much. I think this person has a pretty good handle on life. He is positive and connected to others. He is kind and caring. We had a great conversation and explored many topics and then […]
Holidays Past – Missing a Loved One Who is Gone I remember past Holidays having our whole family together and feeling so good. So thankful. I felt proud of the amazing life we had together. I would look at my husband and children all laughing, having a good time. I would pull out Christmas decorations […]
The Price of Being Real – Resistance is Futile Today was not a fun day. Sometimes I have days like that. On days like this, my brain says, keep these emotions all to yourself. After all, I don't want to be that bummer, negative friend. You know, the drama queen. The crier. The one everyone […]
Gone From My Sight I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where […]
The comparison of grief. It doesn't work. Although I find it happens often. "I know just how you feel about your son." My neighbor began. "The other morning I was out front with my dog and I loved that dog. I saw the car coming and shouldn't have called him. He was across the street and […]

Thank you Linda. Some of these losses are hard to understand.
Very true. He was a good looking boy for sure. He had a heart of gold. I miss him several times a day. Every. Day.
