All the much better for having read it. Thank you Anna for sharing your heart, your grief, your love for God and the faith that carried you and your family through. Looking at the picture of Jack I am absolutely saturated in sadness for your loss. Jack is a beautiful, and he was wonderfully made.

I was very reluctant to read your story for I've enough of my own pain but I must be in a stage of grief where I find some morbid comfort in knowing that other perfect families with beautiful brown-haired, intelligent, and perfect boys have also suffered an unimaginably tragic and senseless blow. You do your son a great honor in sharing him with the world. I find no comfort in your loss but the beauty and strength of your words gives me hope.

I've read every post you've written for the last year and I pray for you, Tim and Margaret every time I run. I should do it more often, but I'm terrible at praying and only remember when I'm running. So there you have it, for what it's worth. I hope my prayers and those of countless others can lift you and your family today.

It has become a great way to find support and ask question and vent to others who "know" what this is like. Feel free to email me if you think you may want an invite. My email is on my profile page.

I thought of this song by Jeremy Camp:<br /><br />"I try to hold on to this world with everything I have <br />But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that trys to grab <br />The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth, <br />that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew <br /><br />But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings <br />That there will be a place with no more suffering <br /><br />There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears <br />There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face <br />But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always."

I am a mother to two under 4 with a husband that works away 4 weeks at a time. I find it hard to cope at times, but I have drawn strength from your story. Im so so saddened by it, but at the same time its made a positive impact on the way I continue to parent and given me the courage to try for a third child and bring more joy into this world. Its reminded me to appreciate the ones I love and to cherish my time with them. I wish for you that your family can rebuild and eventually, one day, have only smiles and warm feelings when you think of your son and no more pain. xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-19599116592675393072011-09-15T20:44:21.917-07:002011-09-15T20:44:21.917-07:00Love, prayers, tears, and thankfulness for heaven ...Love, prayers, tears, and thankfulness for heaven sent to you from Denver, CO.

I lost my teenage Godson/nephew last winter. His mother has amazing strength, like you. She too spoke at his funeral and inspired the community. I hope you will see (if you haven’t already) the many connecting threads which are woven throughout your life and the lives of the people you and your family have touched. I looked back at some of your earlier blogs and saw the one where your daughter discovers Isaiah 43. That is amazing to me. It was a scripture verse which kept showing up around the time I lost my father. I never thought of that as a coincidence either. I hope you have experienced and will continue to experience God’s grace during this devastating loss. May God hold you in the palm of His hand. I hope you will find comfort in continuing your writing ~ in your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-15089198686155723022011-09-15T18:37:56.162-07:002011-09-15T18:37:56.162-07:00another comment from a stranger, just wanted to sa...another comment from a stranger, just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss.
