I’m so sorry, Dave.  I wish I could give you a hug- a great big, comforting hug.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers each night (yes, still) and that you can always e-mail me if you need anything, even if you just have a bad day and want to cuss someone out.

I imagine it’s difficult, if not downright impossible, not to wonder about how things COULD BE when how things ARE is just so utterly wrong.  I pray that the wondering at least eventually becomes less painful.

These, around Halloween, and other holidays, must be especially hard times for you. I wish I could do more than just wish you the strength to get through this. DJ is in your heart, where he belongs and will always be. Love ya!

DJ is absolutely precious.

I just I knew what to say except I’m sorry.

I’m up for a movie some Sunday though. Just shoot me an email and we’ll go!

holidays must be so hard. I hope your memories can make you smile soon. Love ya.

I know it’s hard but I’m glad you have your memories of DJ. Right now it’s hard, I know it is, but in years to come you will cherish those memories all the more.

Love you, Dave.

When my brother was killed, my parents were told to keep schedules and things, but change them.  Like Christmas, we’d always celebrated Christmas morning...moved to Christmas Eve.  Try making a new Sunday schedule for yourself...and hang in there. 

He was such a cute Batman - love that picture!

That Batman photo is so adorable…

Take a year off from trick or treating.  Nothing wrong with that. 

I’m sorry things are so hard, Dawg.

Staring at the blinking cursor wanting to say something to make it all better, but the truth is its just not that simple. Hopefully knowing you have such a huge network of people who love and support you can offer you some relief.
Luv ya Dawg! If you ever need anything, yes even a date to the coolest kids movies on a sunday afternoon, I’m here for ya!

Oh, Dawg, I’m so sorry.  There is not one picture of DJ that doesn’t make me both smile and cry.  I think we all have fallen in love with your little boy.

And I know what he’ll be this year.  A perfect, happy, smiling angel.

Love you, D!  ((((HUGS)))))

He looks adorable in both his costumes Dawg. I think this year he’s dressing up as your Guardian Angel.

I love the little batman costume. That is so cute.

October is a hard month for me too. Today is the two year anniversary of my sister’s death, and it is still a difficult time. Every year, it seems I get excited about Halloween, change my mind and get kind of depressed, then buy candy at the last minute.

Thanksgiving and Christmas won’t be much easier, but I do highly recommend you surround yourself with supportive people, if possible.

I hate to say that Sundays will never be the same for you, but life in general is different, wouldn’t you say?

That Batman pic is so sweet.
If you’re not into it this year, then you’re not into it.
I don’t know how you feel, but seeing little kids in their costumes tugs at my heartstrings. I remember how I used to love Halloween when I was a kid.

My heart tugs for you.

I cried when I read this (actually still).  This post is heart-wrenching.  I am soooo incredibly sorry.  My thoughts are with you.
