I’m so sorry.  Love you.

I feel small and ridiculous even thinking for one second I have any grievances with the world.

He was a beautiful, gorgeous boy. I’m so very, very sorry.

I’m very sorry. I can’t even imagine.

My heart aches for you.

I hope you get to go someday and realize that the magic is still there and that you’re going for him, not without him.

Though very hard ones, sounds like great memories though… Muah Muah Smooch Muah!

And I yelled at you for canceling your trip.  Fuck.

I hate, hate, hate that you have these things to live with - these words to right.  But I am at least a teeny bit grateful that you have a place to write them.

In my heart, as always.

um right “write” - whatever

Life is full of ‘shouldas’ and ‘what ifs’. I’m sorry that yours are so hard. I think about you often and you are always in my prayers. Just don’t lock yourself (or your heart) away!Be with Mom. (Mom kisses are the best)

{{{HUGS}}}

Dawg, I had just came home from the hospital after three straight months of hell the day DJ passed away...I can’t express how the grief I felt for you...just like I can’t express it now.  It’s kinda all mixed in with my big o’ ball of grief stew.  It probably makes no sense. 

I wish you could be at Disney too. 

Hugs.

Thank you for sharing with us a photo of where he is.

It’s too soon for you to be anything but angry that the holiday season is here but DJ is not.

When you’re ready to do so please go on this trip.  It will help you heal.

I’m so sorry hon. I have no personal idea of how you are feeling right now, what you are going through, but know that my heart is breaking for you. Over and over.

Love you, Dave. *hugs*

Just know that I am thinking of you, and pray that some day you do take the trip.

I don’t even know how to try to say something that would connect with you.  Everything would be shallow and insignificant. I’m sorry dude; I really am.  I guess sometimes the hardest thing to imagine getting used to is the ghosts in our head that remind us of what “should have been.” Sorry friend.

Thinking of you man…

I am so sorry.  I can’t think of anything to say.  I think you should go someday.

XO,
J.

That reminds me of something from A Christmas Carol, the way he always talks about “shadows”, of the past or what could be in the future and how they can be changed. It always made me sad.
I wish your shadows could be altered.

WD, I wish you could have been there, doing all those wonderful things.  I wish I had words that would be a comfort to you.  But know I’m thinking of you.
XOXO,
Shel

What was he?  About 15 months in that photo?  He was adorable.

I can’t say more than that right now.

I know that I’m a world away, but my heart is with you.

Hugs to you, my friend.  I love the Polynesian too.  One giant hug just for you.

I’m so sorry, Dear. I wish I had the words to tell you how much.

I’m here over the holidays if you want to catch a movie or feel like a friendly face…

My thoughts and prayers are with you this holiday season. I wish you peace. I wish you love. I wish you strenght and serenity.

DJ rocked those mouse ears. 

This year is the absolute furthest thing from a magical Christmas, and Christmas will never be what it should be, but I hope you’ll be able to have a Disney Christmas for DJ when it feels right.  In the meantime, DJ will be watching and making sure you’re safe through all kinds of “scares"--Monsters Inc. and otherwise. 

I have a feeling he’s glad you still Disney.

I think you will always wonder, and have thoughts like these. I still do.
