Heather Duckworth, is the mother of the late son, and she had shared her story, over a blue stain that was left from her late son.
She had told the story she named, “The Blue Stain”, on her Facebook page.
“My hands were full, but so was my heart.” She said about having 4 boys in the same house, at the same time.
14 years ago, she was struggling with her triplets who were 2 years old, and their four-year-old brother. One of the triplets, Jakob, had broke a pen, and the ink inside of it got spread all over the carpet.
“I instantly felt so upset as I grabbed my son and took him to the bathroom to clean him up and my husband started scrubbing those bright blue stains on our carpet. Tears of frustration stung my eyes. I was just so tired. And mad. Like really, really angry. I wasn’t mad at my son – who was as blue as a Smurf – but upset with myself for leaving that pen out where my toddler could reach it,” she said in the story.
“We had only lived in this house for six months and now the carpet was completely ruined. We scrubbed that stain for an hour that night, but yet it remained.”
“It made me feel angry and it made me feel like such a failure for leaving out the pen where my young son could reach it. That blue stain was just a big fat negative in my life. I hated it,” she continued.
“It was still there . . . and now . . . it was a constant reminder of my son. It was a constant reminder of my frustration over something so trivial . . . something so unimportant in the scheme of life.”
She had stated that as long as you have your children on your side, the mess they created in the house is not important. She stated that know how precious your time is with your children.
She had stated that she would clean billions of blue stains, in order to have her son back.
