Bryan, I have been thinking of you and Erica as this anniversary approached. My heart aches for you both and your families. As a grieving mother of now 2 children, I can say I know this pain and while it’s not a pain anyone can understand outside of this loss, there is small comfort in a community where people know what we live with. If I didn’t have faith, I’d be an angry bitter woman. I’m thankful to have God’s love in my heart. I pray through your tears and heart aches tomorrow that you can celebrate Parker and all that made him your special son. 🕊

I'm so sorry. I don't know you, but we lost a precious daughter, age 7, ten years ago this February. Our lives are so much richer for the time we spent with her, but the pain is real. So is the hope we have of seeing her again. Grace and mercy to you and your family.

Bryan — I am so sorry for your loss. Today would have been our son’s 28th birthday. Grace and strength is all I can ask for. This December 29th will be the five year anniversary of his death. We are grateful and blessed by every single memory of him. I stand with you and other grieving parents as we press on to handle this “new normal”. Thank you for all your posts and shares.

Bryan, once again you amaze me with the strength and the faith to write these little stories and memories. I can’t imagine the flood of memories that are coming back this week. I pray that you guys feel the love and prayers for you in this time of remembrance and reflection. We’ve been to the grave quite a few times and I’ve never even thought about the head stone. Let me know if you ever need anything, I know that is so cliche, but I’m serious. I haven’t lost a son but both parents in few months apart we can lean on each other and have our faith to get us through. I pray this holiday season will bring peace and live to you all. Love you guys and hope to see you soon.
