Marilyn - Brandon's smile is wonderful and contagious! I love your story. Yes I would love to share those stories that make us smile and remember the joy they have brought to our lives. Thank you. And Michelle, love the senior picture - he's so handsome. Bittersweet for me because Daniel died 6 months before his graduation. We gave a scholarship to be given out at the ceremony to 2 deserving young people but I could not find the strength to attend. I just would tell myself that he's graduated to Heaven and I'm sure doing some amazing things.

Everyone try to find something beautiful in the world today. Maybe another smiling picture...

This was Chris' senior photo. He had hair then!

Dear Marilyn

Another beautiful child with a beautiful smile. Thank you

I so agree with your suggestion of stories. I was thinking the same thing.

Loved your story.

Thanks guys. It is wonderful to be able to share precious memories with you. Ammy - I know it is mind boggling when you become conscious of the children dying every day. We just weren't part of the community before. We were the ones trying to keep thinking about that horrible possibility at bay. Now I have such empathy for those families whenever I read or hear of someone losing a child and try to reach out if I can. I'm so sad for all of us who have to live through this. I wish you all some peace tonight. (((  )))

Dawn, your son Stephan is such a handsome young man, and Connie, your son, Daniel is also.  It's sad to look at these beautiful children from all of you that have posted pictures.  Believing that they should be here and not being able to completely understand why they were taken.  Seems unreal and yet our children are only a speck of all the children lost as I see more every day.  Just beyond words/explanation.  Sending hugs of comfort and love to all.

Great picture, Connie! I am completely with you on my love for animals. I have two insane canines that are probably part of the reason that I'm able to go on. I have had dogs all my life and a few cats and the comfort they bring is amazing. That first couple of weeks after Chris died, my little mutts were like Velcro. I hope they get to go to heaven, too, because I have some beloved pets waiting for me if they do.

Yeah I did it! There must be some of my brain left - really not so hard..

Hello all. I am still not able to navigate this site so well. i am trying to post a pic of Daniel. I get it on my page  and can't seem to figure out how to post from there so I wanted to share - I will try here again.

By the way I am such an animal lover and have 3 cats and one bossy little terrier mix dog. I lost my Burmese mix, Duplo 2 years ago. He was 12 and the best doggie ever. Then last year I lost my precious kitty Monkey Boy who was also 12 and Duplo's best friend. When I look at pictures of my son with these beautiful souls I can't believe they have all gone but I like to think of them all together now. And he's not an only child in heaven. I had two late miscarriages (both girls) and I just know they are together.  I find so much comfort in the animals I still have in my life. I am so grateful for them. Really so grateful.
