I have received sympathy from so many people here on this forum that I found it overwhelming to reply to each one individually.  So I decided to thank you all as a group, a group of wonderful people that I am very happy to have met.

I am still having a hard time believing my son Justin is gone.  Today I returned to work and found myself having a conversation with someone and at the same time thinking "Justin is dead".  It's still just unreal.    It was very good, though, to be back at work.   I made it through the day great, and then cried all the way home and talked to Justin.  That's ok, as long as I never cry at work - that's my rule.

Justin wouldn't have made a very good quadraplegic.  He didn't have the patience for it, I am sure of that.   He had alot of great attributes, but patience wasn't one of them.  

Again, thank you for all the kind words and sentiments.  I still plan to visit this forum occasionally.
