It really hit me deeply starting yesterday. The tears come so easily now. He was a caring, sweet, darling child. He was so great with Matthew. I know the pain is like a heavy shroud over you now but, only God knows the end from the beginning. Strength, peace, a new light will come with time. I'm here for you and I'm always praying for all of you...I love you so much!
