I never met Brandon but my heart is still broken. The family may never see it, but I have hung purple ribbons in front of my house. The only words I am prepared to share are those from my Lord...

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 ESV

Rest easy my child, surrender to sleep. The sun has now set, the day is at peace. With brow on the pillow and tucked into bed. Follow the magic, through golden dream's thread. Leave behind your cares of the day. Create a new world, to wisk you away. Slide down that rainbow, swim with a whale. Make friends with a lion and ride on its tail. Fly thru the heavens without any wings. And let your heart dance with flowers that sing. See colors at random, without any rules. With waterfalls purple, and sand that is blue. A sunrise will greet you, to start off your day. As you jump from the moonbeam that sailed you away. Hold tight to that magic you found in the night. Let it shine thru your eyes...See the world pure and bright
