St. Paul Prayer Wall

Andrea Shaiman

Please keep me uplifted in your prayers. As many of you know, my baby boy, my son Clyde passed away June 19th. He was 41 and yes, we have been together those 41 years. Clyde was not a pet, Clyde was my son. He was a Yellow Crowned Amazon Parrot. It feels as if I've stopped breathing and my heart has stopped beating. This loss of Clyde is more than I can bear. I cannot stop crying. My prayer is for understanding that at this time I cannot see anyone or talk to anyone. I cannot explain why I feel this way. I do know and I do feel your prayers for me. To all of you who have called and left voice messages, left text messages, sent emails and have sent condolence cards and memory gifts in Clyde's name, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. One day, I will, with the help and love of Jesus, be able to climb out of this chasm of sadness and despair. I am just not ready yet. It is because of my deep faith that I know Clyde is with Jesus.
