It is just after midnight, on a Sunday morning. 30 years ago in the early morning hours just past midnight on a Sunday morning, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy 9lbs, I named him Shawn. Affectionately, called him "Shawnie". For 23 years I loved, nurtured, guided, taught and tried my best to protect my "Shawnie"! I miss you , you were my son but also my friend. I will never stop missing and loving you. I can still see you and all your expressions and remember exactly what your voice and laughter sound like. The sound of joy! My beautiful beautiful, handsome, intelligent, kind-hearted and funny Son. I literally think of you everyday of my life. Boy do I miss you, we all do. The void left without you, will never be filled

May is officially here, the month of our birthdays. Almost 7 yrs since you were token away! Still can't believe it. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Save a spot for me! Love you always.

Shawnie I miss you so very much. Had two dreams, you were talking to me, looking at me and laughing and smiling. That was a blessing and a treat, hadn't heard your voice since the last dream. So grateful for that. Went back to the house for a final walk thru and found 8 photos of you behind a heater cover couldn't believe it. So happy, thank you Jehovah I needed that.

I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO VERY MUCH SON, NEEDING YOU HERE AND MISSING YOUR PRESENCE EVERYDAY SHAWNIE. DOWN TO ONLY 4 DAYS A WEEK AT THE CEMETARY, IT SO HARD AND NO ONE UNDERSTANDS MY PAIN AND HOW MUCH I MISS TALKING TO YOU. PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK HOW AM I, I JUST TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR "I'M GOOD", I AM JUST WOUNDED FOR LIFE, I WILL NEVER GET OVER LOSING YOU. IM JUST TRYING TO COPE AND NOT REALLY DOING A GOOD JOB AT THAT. LOVING YOU ALWAYS, MOMMY.

Thinking of you and missing you EVERYDAY Shawnie. Uninterrupted, Unconditional, Unweathered, Pure love for my son always.....
Your family, friends and soooo many of the people who love you celebrated you on your birthday, May 17, 2013. I was overwhelmed by the turn out, that no one has forgotten you. Makes me cry everytime, so beautiful to see that much love come together. We met two more people that knew you, that we never have seen before! You knew so many different types of people and treated everyone the same. That is why they each miss you so much. A true Confidant, hear to listen. I listened to their stories of how you were there for them and each considered you THEIR FRIEND. I know what they mean I miss our long talks about EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. I was your confidant, YOU AND I ALWAYS HAD THAT STRONG BOND, my son and friend. It's funny how so many others considered you a friend and that THEY had a special relationship with you, you were only 23 years old! You were truly something special Shawn Hood! So blessed to have had you in my life.

Thinking of you always Shawn, just needed to post it today.

i miss you bro! gone but never forgotten!
xo,daya

Shawnie, words can not express how much we miss you. Your cousin Fresh's heart bleeds & he wishes he could have somehow protected you. You are forever engraved in our hearts and until we meet again, love you much. Sharmon,Fresh & family

Hard to believe that another year is nearly over, its been 2 1/2 years today. I miss you more than ever and there is no time frame that will ever change that. I think of you throughout each day. We talk about you all the time and what you would be saying and doing at our family gatherings. Your siblings, parents, grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts and certainly your friends miss you Shawnie. Its amazing how 1 life can touch so many. Shawn Hood you are truly missed and loved.... Nobody misses you more than me my son. Guess who's a nurse now, I can hear you calling me "Nurse Ann". I love Shawnie

Today at the Anti-Violence Basketball Tournament I saw someone who looked like you. Same height, built, and walk. Same complexion, same waves!:) For a short time I couldnt take my eyes off him. And then the tears, he may have looked like you, but it wasnt you. Not my boy, not my son. I love you Shawnie. I really miss seeing you

Princess,

I can't say that I know how you feel because I've never lost a son, but as a friend, I pray that the heavenly father continues to keep his healing hands on the hearts of you and your family through these hard times.

Shawnie shawnie shawnie, where do I start. Days & days go by w/o seeing your face. Hearing your voice. & feeling your touch. God help me get through this. I miss cracking jokes w/ u & playing trouble but I feel like this is going 2 end soon. I LOVE you & MISS you more than ever before. :'(

Miss u bro

I am thinking of my son today and everyday, many times thruout the day. Trying to figure out how to stop hurting and just cope. Death is sooooo hard I miss Shawnie sooo much Everything about him

Remembering the goodness in my son, the things that made him the person he was. And missing him terribly, it is not getting easier.

Mommy

Remembering Shawn on Hearts Day! Love you, Always

Shawn A Hood is missed and thought of everyday! Never forgotten!

Missing my son so much...

May you rest in peace

Never forgetting a son loved and missed each day.

Missing my son so very much. I look at Jaylen and know how much Shawnie would have loved him. And sad that he can't meet his uncle Shawnie. Shawnie was the Best Uncle to Zaire!! He thought Zaire was so funny and smart, he really loved him. Many daycare dropoffs, pickups, barbershop trips, bring your favorite person and of course Father's Day. Although Shawn never had a child of his own, all the kids loved him. I was lighting a candle at the memorial his friends made and a little boy said Thank You. He said "Hood was my friend", he was no more than 9 yrs old. I told him that Shawnie was my friend also (and son). It is such a nice feeling to know how many people my son touched. I miss him. As a family we have all missed Everything! Shawnie did for us and how much we relied on him. We are feeling it. I am trying to focus on the good that happened for my son and there were Many Good things and times in Shawn's life. Shawnie believed in enjoying his life and he really did, I remember that son.

Love you shawnie! never to be forgotten. love you always.. .

Our neighbor, ms rita says that i should stop going to the cemetery almost everyday. She says i should stop nurturing grieve.
I don't know what else to do, i can't fix it. until i figure it out or can cope better, I have to go where you rest, it is a quiet peaceful place.
I know the handsome shell that held you for 23 years lies there. you however lie in my heart forever son, i keep you in my memories and speak of you often. i will not let you be forgotten. still can't believe this is true/reality. unbelievable
Today, 11 years since twin passed, also not forgotten...

May God continue to keep his healing hands on you and your family. Princess, you are still in my prayers.

Princess,
I was just thinking about when I was younger and Freonna and Shawnie were very young... I couldnt wait until they were old enough to play with..because as you know I'm the youngest of my siblings, and I always wanted a younger brother or sister... I hated being the baby of the family...lol, smile! :-)
I remember very well when you had Shawnee... at 4 years old I had a good memory!
Shawnie and Freonna were more than my 2nd generation cousins... they were like my brother and sister. I miss Shawnie each and every day that passes!
Shawn was always one of my favorite little cousins Freonna too! Shawnie was always easy to get along with.. and he really loved you and his siblings very much! Every time I seen Shawnie he always made sure he said "hey cuz! Whats going on?" as we got older. Just a few minutes of conversation brought us back to our childhood days..and some of the crazy times we had at my house or your house,or wherever! I remember one time Freonna and I were playing in my room....we were like where did Shawnie go? Shawnie came in the kitchen and my mother was cooking some chicken... Shawnie was grubbing down on some soulfood!... I was like "Shawnie you left us?" he was like "YEAH IM HANGING OUT WITH AUNT BESSIE!" he was a very loveable person and loved all of his family very much! Time spent with Shawnie was time well spent! Whether it was playing cards,acting silly when he was tired (him and Freonnas contagious laughing when they were tired), or just being cousins... my most memorable moments were spent with them both! Seeing some of these younger pictures of Shawn bring tears to my eyes!
May Jehovah continue to strenghten you!

Summer is Shawn's favorite time of year and I miss seeing his excitement for this season. I miss Shawn being the first in the kitchen to make his plate. He loved food off the grill with a large romaine toss salad.

Most of all I Just Miss "Shawn". I loved you for 23 years and will forever
(our favorite photo together)

I wish it were an awful dream Or I wish Shawnie would just be given back to me. Nothing eases
this pain. I'm just sick

MISSING MY SHAWNIE!

Shawn you will remain in our hearts

There are usually only minutes between the number of times that shawnie is on my mind each day. One day this week I realized it had been 3 hours, I couldn't believe it. What a slow painful road in trying to heal. It has been nearly a year and I don't go HOURS without thinking of SHAWNIE.

SHAMAR, KIASHA, FREONNA, FRESH, HOOD, MADEE, JAREEM, AK, LUCY, CITA,SHOTS, HAKEEM, BARB....

THAT WAS THE LAST TIME ALL THE COUSINS WOULD SPEND TOGETHER.... IT WAS LIVE!

REMEMBERING AND MISSING YOU WITH A SMILE..........................

February 5, 2011
(223 days and counting...)

Micah thank you so much for your entry. You are always so kind. I cried when I read it, as I do with every entry, it is nice to know that someone else is thinking of Shawnie. I often feel like I am going thru it alone, even though I know that is not the case.

Shay and I were talking about the times spent at your house, at Aunt Bessie's house. Those are some of the best memories I have growing up and to then have my children Freonna and Shawnie with the same good times is truly a blessing.

I was told that it would get better with time, untrue it gets harder. I still can't believe it, I am waiting for him to come thru the door. I would say, "Who is that"? and he would say, "The Boogie Man", but that is not going to happen. Everyone says that, "You know Shawn would not want you to be sad" and you know what I think EVERYTIME, my son would not want to be dead. That's what he wouldn't want. I AM SAD.

He lived with me, the closiest thing to me and isn't here, we talked about everything and I miss our countless conversations. I miss our rides together, our "QT", quality time.

I will never be the same. Only those of us who have lost a child in such a tragic manner can really understand where the grief takes you. People dont know what you go thru or what to say and really the only thing you can say is sorry for your loss.

My son was hurt and his life stolen. Just snatched away from us

His siblings miss him terribly


How do you ever get over that?


So I place my hopes and faith in Jehovah and look forward to the day I see Shawnie again. Walking strong, unbroken, unhurt, with that silly smile. To simply place my hand on my son's warm face. Until then...

Thank you for keeping Shawnie's memory alive, it lifts me and HELPS ME REMEMBER ALL THE FUNNY THINGS SHAWNIE DID AND ENJOYED IN LIFE. Your Cuz,

Its been 6+ months since this tragic situation has happened, we all miss Shawnie very much! Shawnie was one of my favorite little cousins growing up! (Shawnie and Freonna!)
I remember when he was born.. although Im only 4+years older than he was...I couldnt wait until he was old enough to play with! Remember when Freonna, Shawnie and myself use to play under my mothers dinning room table and buffet area when they would come over to my house?.. my most memorable moments of Shawnie was when we use to be in my room playing and how we use to talk about what we were going to do when we were "grown". I miss him so much and will never forget him Princess!
He was like the little brother I never had!
Princess,
My dear cousin, always know that I'm here for you and love you very much!

Shawn you are truly missed

There has not been a day of peace, not a day of rest. I have only exchanged the emotions of worry and fear for your safety to anguish and hurt over losing you. You are thought of a million times each day of my life.

I have especially stressed and pained over the thought that you would not enter 2011 with me, but... Shawnie you remain in my heart, always on my mind and forever a part of my spirit so we go into 2011-TOGETHER. Our strong bond and mother and son relationship is just that, a beautiful thing. I love you always, Mommy
