Reflections

The rain cries down much harder now, in my soul, I still can not break through the door, a barrier that has held me back for years, the only strength to these unwanted tears, your love grows stronger in us each day, but some days, I still wish I could pull you out of the picture frame, hold you close to our hearts, remember the laughter we used to start. Words are left un said, Feelings are left unrest. Even though I feel you with us, your loss is just unjust, but has left us with the strength to move on, to live on, or just to be. The power of our souls will again unite, when the end, all we have left is time my friend.........

Bang Bang! I see your picture on our wall in our hallway with all our family photos everyday. It's the one of you in the sand race car. It's great. Also have your football picture with it. Seems like just yesterday that you were having your 2nd birthday and we were at the Redwood Valley Fire Dept. private BBQ and I gave you a T-shirt that said Bang Bang on it. I think of you often and with fondness because of the great person you are and sadness because you're not here. I don't see your folks often as this crazy world keeps a person hopping but I think of them and Nay Nay often. Haven't even seen your nephew yet. Just wanted to say hey, I've been wanting to do that for a long time. Love Linda

Hey Buddy, I haven't spoke to you for more than 10 years. I never got the chance to say hello or good-bye. I didn't know what to do in years past. I was just a kid, just like yourself. I always wanted to play with you, show the ropes, and do the fun things in life. It's funny how we never saw each other but a few times and we both lked hunting and fishing and played football. Our Dad just came for a visit and met his grandkids for the first time...your neice and nephew. I miss you fella...Don't hold it against me for the things that happened...please forgive me...If you're where I think you are then you know the truth...I love you

What a beautiful site, your friend Brian mentioned it to me. There are no words of comfort when a parent loses a child, I, like you lost my son in auto accident when he was 18 yr. old in 1976, so I feel your pain. We assuage our grief with all kinds of platitudes but after a bried respite from sorrow we again experience the emptiness of loss. I can promise you it will get easier, I will not tell you it ever goes away. You are in my thoughts & prayers. God's peace to you and your family soon.

Thank you so much for your concern about my dad. In return I would like to say I am very sorry for the loss of such a wonderful young boy. It is very difficult to lose anyone that is close to you but I cant imagine losing a child. I know as time passes the pain will get a little bit easier to bare. Memories always last forever. You are in my prayers and in my heart. I know my dad will look out for Max for you. I am sure they will be good friends.

Four years ago today, we looked into your beautiful eyes and heard your voice for the last time. I am finally getting to the point where some of the painful memories are fading into the background, making way for the good memories like watching you make 3 interceptions in one football game . . . or make a running back cough up the ball as he was about to score against your team. Or listening to you and your sister share your secrets with each other. There hasn't been a day that I haven't thought about you and missed you. I'm sure you're working hard where you are, and I would be as proud of you as I was when you were here. I like to believe that you are greeting the new angels and showing them the way around . . . I love you, mi hijo. Love, Mom

Well, Macky - from all I've ever heard, time doesn't mean anything on your plane. But on this first day of the new year, century and millennium which we have thankfully passed into peacefully, I have but one New Year's resolution . . . to attempt to be a better human being - one that you would be proud of. Not more successful, or more popular or any of those things that vanish when we leave this earthly existence - but more humanitarian - more patient and tolerant; less critical and more understanding. With determination, maybe I can make some progress in that direction. I love you Macky. Love, Mom.

Well, Macky - here it is, Thanksgiving of another year. I have so much to be grateful for, but it's hard to be as thankful as I should without you here to share it. You're probably getting a chuckle out of that . . . it's probably so perfect where you are that you can't wait to share it with us. Thank you for the 16 years of beautiful memories, mi hijo. Love, Mom

It feels kind of strange writing this as though you're going to read it, but I know you'll feel it. You're probably looking over my shoulder as I write. It's been over 3-1/2 years since you left this earthly plane, and there hasn't been a single day that's gone by that I haven't thought of you and missed you. It's been an uphill battle, and I'm sure you've been with us every step of the way. My new friend Brian, who lost his daughter, Heather, in March designed these pages for you (for us), and I don't know how he did such an amazing job. Everything he selected is a perfect memorial to you, and it feels good to visit these pages. There will be more before it's done. I miss you, mi hijo. Love, Mom

There is no pain in this world that can compare to the pain of losing a child. My heartfelt sympathies to my new friends and Max's family, Don, Tobey, and Jannee.
