I too lost my soul mate and it sucks. My mother lost my father when I was only a year old and she was a young widow too. In the scheme of live, it has just never seemed fair and it is not fair for you either. I know that words don’t help but I did want you to know how sorry I was for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Lyndy in GA Just found your blog tonight and I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through. I too lost my soul mate and it sucks.

You made me hug my husband and son that bit tighter tonight and you made me stop and really appreciate what I've got. Thank you for letting us in.

Bravery and heroism is defined by what comes after the lost. AT, you are proving yourself (and so is MastaG) a true hero. Glad it went well.

It was good seeing those pictures of you and GAC and your family. It was good seeing some of what she'd drawn. It was good being there at Barley's where we'd gone before and spent time together. It is hard saying goodbye to all that. Last night was, for me, emotionally hard. It was good seeing those pictures of you and GAC and your family. It was good seeing some of what she’d drawn.

One came to mind as I read your post...early this morning. At first I didn't think I should type it for you. It seems so personal, especially when coming from me, a stranger to you and your family. But then, since your post inspired it, I decided to go ahead and throw it into the mix. Because words can't help change things and yet they are the only things that can help.

The memorial service yesterday was so sweet. Your aunts did an outstanding job as well as all of those you had a part of the service. It was an honor for us to meet many of your friends..Mr./Mrs. Bos, Asher's preschool teacher, Crystal, BJ's special nurse, BJ's parents, brother and sister, and many more. Thank you for your continued posts. Thank you for sharing your secret thoughts with us and the world. Our prayers will continue to be focused on you and your little guys. We were honored to share the table with Gabe and Asher at lunch yesterday (Katy too). It sounds like the celebration at Barleys honoring BJ really went well. Sorry that our crowd had to head back to North GA. We love you big guy and the little guys, too. Please remember, God knows the depth of your heart, and He will be beside you and the boys the rest of your lives. Depend on Him at all times. May He constantly give you renewed comfort and strength as you face one day and one night at a time. You will be in our thoughts and prayers especially as your week starts tomorrow. We Love You!
