Five years ago; April 25, 2010, my seven year old son passed away. He would have been thirteen this year.

Dear Zach,

You have referred to the loss of your son in your other pistings.
I am sending you my special thoughts and prayers.
I believe you got some toys for your son while here and that he liked them.
Thank you for sharing the story.

Zach,

My deepest condolences on the loss of your son.  As a parent, I simply cannot fathom the pain you have suffered and all I can offer, are the words of Angelo Patri, he writes:

“In one sense there is no death.  The life of a soul on earth lasts beyond their departure.  You will always feel that life touching yours, that voice speaking to you, that spirit looking out of other eyes, talking to you in the familiar things they touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends.  They live on in your life and in the lives of all others who knew them.”

Joe

Jach,

I Hope you found some peace at the lake yesterday,
and had a lot of wonderful memories of your son to reflect on.

Zach,

He was a beautiful little guy, all the pictures you have shared he was always smiling, which tells me he was a happy little guy too.  I hope that you have come to be a little at peace even though it is more difficult than burying a parent...because of the idea of natural order.

Much love to you always, and may you be able to hold the fond memories that those pictures represent forever in your heart!

Love, Heidi
