Connie, Kenny and Nick,
We cannot tell you how heavy our hearts are to know that you have to experience the agony of this pain. There is nothing else like it on earth. It just doesn't make sense.
Eventually you will find a new "normal", but while you are traveling this road of grief know that your family and friends care about you and our hearts ache for you.
It helps me to remember that Brandon is not dead....He's living where we can't see him right now. When our time comes, he'll be the one standing in heaven's door waiting with the biggest smile on his face. Until that time we have to be patient and care for one another here.
LOVE NEVER DIES
