Misty, I am sitting here crying as I read your response to this. I am so, so sorry about your son. I cannot even imagine!  

Thank you, and I am so sorry!  I didn't intend to make anyone else cry, I just have a knack of being brutally honest sometimes.  I thought about answering generically, but I don't have it in me to do that!!

1. What's your favorite word? Love  (as in Faith Hope and Love, and the Greatest of these is Love)  
2. What's your least favorite word? the F Bomb
3. What sound or noise do you love? my kids' laughter
4. What sound or noise do you hate? any sounds of violence
5. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? creatively- great challenges that actually make me go outside of my box. Spiritually, hymns.  particularly the older ones from when I was a child.  Emotionally... well, that can be taken in many ways...but what really makes me emotional...like...what makes me sob like a baby, is when I hear songs that hit me in the heart and makes me thing about my son that died.  There are many...and occasionally I hear a new one pop up on the radio and I have to pull over to the side of the road and let the tears flow until they can't anymore.  He's been gone for 7 years, and I don't think I will ever stop missing him.  I am bawling as I type this, to be honest.  Snot flowing and all. 
6. What turns you off? When someone cant speak a full conversation without an F-bomb...or seeing someone smoking in the  vehicle with children. 
7. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?  Counselor...particularly a grief counselor
8. What profession would you not like to do?  anything outdoors
9. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? "Welcome Home, Tamon has been waiting."  
and then I would say... "Thank you for having me, and for watching over my son until I was able to get here."

Oh Misty, I'm so sorry if I made you cry.  I cannot imagine your pain. Sending big hugs your way.

No worries, Misty, the questions in the original post are very emotional ones, and I totally understand the brutal honesty. These questions are not ones that lend themselves to superficial answers.
