Dustin Chittum Memoriam

In Loving Memory of my son & our Big Brother Dustin CHITTUM
12-7-1991 8-5-2002
It's been 7 long years today since I've seen your beautiful smile and 7 long years since I've heard your laughter. "They" say that time heals all wounds, "they" say that things happen for a reason. Well I'm not sure who "they" are but "they" have never had you for a son, "they" have never had you in their life, then ripped away like you were ripped from my life. "They" have never loved you or known you because if "they" had...then "they" would know the pain of losing you. I personally do not believe that things happen for a reason because there is no reason for losing you. Dustin, I love you & will miss you every single day of my life!
Deeply loved & missed by Mom, Casey, Cody, Haley & Hunter

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve although it has been seven years but it seems to be yesterday.
