It is like a nightmare except you can't wake up...he will always be with you in your hearts. People often say it is not the duration of an encounter but the content of the encounter that matters. Hold on to all those contents and let them be a source of comfort to you. Smile when you think of his smile, laugh when you think of his laugh, hug someone when you think of him giving hugs...he was a happy playful soul...he would want all of you to be the same. God bless and may happy memories be a comfort to you.

I don't know the family of this precious little child, but as a grandmother my heart goes out to Asiah's parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, and the rest of his family that loved him and had the honor of being loved by him. There are no words that can ease your pain today or the days to come, but please know that there are many prayers being sent your way from my family and other families, in hopes that god will give you the strength to be able to begin to heal from this terrible tragedy and celebrate your little ones life and the love and joy he brought to you instead of the horrible way he was taken from you. These words are not spoken lightly as my family endured this terrible pain last summer and I know what is ahead for you.
Asiah....Know you are loved and your story has touched many peoples lives although the last chapter has not been written yet. RIP little guy
