It lives in my heart in a way that I can't even explain. I lay on the floor playing Leggo's every night with my son Tobin and think of you and your family. I hug him and my daughter even more if that is possible. I am trying to appreciate every moment of being a parent in a more full, conscious way. One that is not distracted by laundry, grocery lists and checking e-mail. God bless you and your family now and always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-62754290780206649672011-09-30T13:00:16.528-07:002011-09-30T13:00:16.528-07:00Praying.

Today, after reading this, I have already saved out a shoebox to fill in memory of your son. Please know that you have love and prayers for strength and peace being sent to you from a small island off the coast of Maine and I can only hope, that in some small way, the knowledge that people you have never even met are grieving with you will provide you some comfort.smilinjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774270348325860387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-57839068988184586662011-09-23T13:55:01.222-07:002011-09-23T13:55:01.222-07:00Anna, I'm thinking of you often.

We aren't that close, but I want to work on being a better sister. 2) I am going to send my 3 year old nephew (age-appropriate) Legos. And 3) Next time I see my mom, I am going to cuddle with her. I am 31. So thank you, Jack.

To people who dress their kids in beautiful little uniforms and send them to school and care enough about them to take first day of school pictures?
