A Year Ago Today

Sometimes time crawls by slowly. 

This year has flown by with so many changes in our lives. 

Here is one of the biggest: 





Can I just offer everyone some advice? 

Tell your children that there IS always light at the end of the tunnel, that things change. 
Reassure them. 
Hug them. 
Tell them you love them, over and over. 

Don't do everything for them, but let them know it is okay to fail sometimes, and to learn from it and forge ahead.  

And tell them you love them, over and over and over. 

Brandon David, we miss you so much.

    I know it's a sad day for ya'll.

    It's sad that he had no hope left and chose to leave. But, it was his choice and as sad as it was.....it wasn't because he was not loved. I know he was. People make the wrong choices and he did.

    I'm sorry that this happened to your family.

    Thinking of ya'll.

    OUR family has been thinking of you all day, what you said is so true and so important. He knew how much his family loved him, and it is so hard to understand the whys ....

    I wish this did not happen to your family.

    It's hard to believe a year has passed already. I too have lost a grandson and I know just how much you must miss yours. You can never tell those you love that you love them often enough.
