Today marks 12 years since my 10 year old passed away. It really sucks and it’s hitting me damn hard.


Sorry man. 4 years ago, I lost my 30 year old daughter out of nowhere. Massive heart attack. She was 5-2 and 110 pounds. A very good heart and beautiful daughter. I still think about her every single day.

It gets easier but not much.

Yes Alabama won today. Those pecker heads.
Your son, on the other hand, is an inspiration to my 60 year old self.
Please smile. He wouldn’t want it any other way.

Your life has a great deal of texture to it. I don’t envy it, but I admire your courage.

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you, brother. You know that you can always vent or distract yourself with me on the rant.

It will be 2 years for my wife and me on March 11th. I really struggle this time of year.


God bless you two. Hold onto each other tightly and be there for each other. A counselor at the hospital told my wife and I (after our son died) that 75% of marriage end in divorce after a child died. My wife and I were so strong that we knew we would not be in that stat.

But, we did not grieve and recover together as we should; we each got lost in ourselves. We ended up divorcing after being together 23 years. I am praying for yall

I have a 2 year old daughter and I pray everyday that nothing like this happens to her. I can't fathom the pain you've gone through all these years. I shared your story with my family tonight and we are thinking about you. I'm confident that you'll reunite with him one day.

I was 5 when my little sister died during or minutes after birth. Even though I was that young I can still remember the pain my parents went through. I could not imagine if they lost her after 10 years of knowing and loving her.


I am so sorry. My ex-wife and I had had a very late term miscarriage. She had to deliver the body. It was a boy. We buried him too. That took a toll. Then, 8 years later we buried our 10 year old son. All of it took one hell of a toll on me.

Saying a prayer for you and your family. My wife and I lost twin boys (stillborn at 33 weeks) just over 2 years ago. There isn't a day that goes by that they aren't missed, and I know that will be true in 2 years, 12 years, 20 years.


God bless you and your wife.

Who knows whose lives you may touch and strengthen through what your family has faced? Pass your son's fighting courage on to others who need to draw strength in the face of uncertainty. I assure you that your son is sending you that Eternal Strength he has taken hold of today so that you can be a voice of hope to people who've lost hope in the same struggles:


Thank you. My son's story got world wide attention. We had to raise money for an experimental treatment. I used my knowledge from being a political fundraiser to really get his story out there. We got letters and email from all over the world. To this day there are people who kept up with the story that tell me that my son has been and is their inspiration. What a great legacy my 10 year old left. He touched and helped so many people.

I just read every post here and I can not thank you all enough for the kind words. They all mean a lot. And 855 upvotes. Thank you all for your words, letting me vent, and for helping me remember and honor my son.

A few asked for stories about my boy. I will be glad to share some probably tomorrow. He was just an awesome young man.

December 14 marks the day we told my sister goodbye. She had a glioblastoma that was inoperable- we found out when she collapsed at work, had a seizure and slipped into a coma. She left behind a husband and a 3 year old daughter. It’s terrible, but we move on as best we can, and keep her memory alive for her daughter.
