Not sure what to say?

My Dear Sweet Brendan,

Another day, another year. They say "time heals all wounds." Time has not healed my wound, I miss you just as much now, as I've ever done.

I go through each day, feeling a loss that is impossible to explain in any word or language. Never did I realize the enormity of that word, "loss."

I'm with Mommy now, celebrating what would have been "Sweet 16,", I know you're happy where you are, and all is well, but what would I give just to see...

Brendan,

Time has come and gone, but the loss and pain still linger. Please know that you're in our hearts and thoughts constantly. You will forever be our "little angel." I only wish God could have given us more time with you to see you grow up and become a good strong Christian, but we know you're safe in God's arms, waiting for us to join you.

I love you Sweetheart!

Grandma Shirlene

My Dear Sweet Grandson:

Grandma Shirlene misses you now just as much as I did the last time I wrote to you.

Another year has come and gone; with it, the Thanksgivings and Christmases. None of that means anything to me anymore, except the meaning of Christmas. I know you would never want any of us to forget that.

I'm going back to Alabama on your birthday and deal with the rest of what we have to make do with. It's not that I don't want to talk about it, I just can't...

HEY,
I WAS IN YOUR SCHOOL BEFORE I MOVED. YOU WHERE SO SWEET AND CYTE AND SO JOYFUL. YOU ALWAYS PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE AND EVERYONES FACE. YOU WILL BE IN MY DREAMS AND PRAYERS. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU

LOVE ALWAYS
ALLISON PRUITT

My Dear Precious Grandson:

Brendan, Grandma Shirlene has tried to do this several times already. For whatever purpose and reason, I haven't been able to finish. I will try for it this time.

I have missed many people in my life time after they have passed on, but never anything like this. There are times when I'm not sure if I have grieved for you or if I'm just in limbo. A couple of weeks ago, I went to where you are and visited with you. I think I cried more than I...

April 2, 2006 Brendan, I want to share this with you...
Since Heaven has become your home
I sometimes feel I'm so alone;
and though we now are far apart
you took a big piece of my heart.

I never knew how much I'd grieve
when God decided it was time for you to leave
or just how much my heart would ache
from that one part of my heart you would take.
God lets a tender hole...

Brendan, My sweet boy. I miss you so much I can't find the words to describe my thoughts and feelings. I've always thought, in the past that, "The Love Of Your Life" meant falling in love with a man and living happily ever after. Then, I met you. :) The "Love Of My Life" was a happy, healthy baby boy with the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen!! He grew into a precious child and wonderul young man. You indeed are the "LOVE" of my life Brendan. The very best thing to ever happen to me...

Dear Cathy and Ron,
It was so nice to have Brendan on the baseball team he was such a great friend to warm up with and just to talk to in between innings but i have nothing to worry about because i no he is watching me in heaven now. you will reamin in my in my thought and i will always remember you.

Cathy and Ron, I was so lucky to have such a great friend, and didn't even realize it. Brendan was the sweetest most cute guy I have ever met. I hope he knows that he is loved greatly by me and many others. And know I know that I don't have to worry about anything because he will always be watching over me.
