Hello Family and Friends of Sean,
We miss Sean so much and it's been a year now that he's been away from us and we have had some difficult times without him. We have been blessed to get little signs that Sean has been with us over the last year and I thought I would share them with you all.
Sean used to have a green light in his room that he would turn on when he would play guitar. He would turn on the humidifier and the green light and with the smoke from the humidifier and the light, it looked pretty cool. Well, when we moved out of the house shortly after he passed, my wife Lela went back to the house to get some odds and ends that we had left. When she pulled up to the house, she noticed that the green light had been left on. She grabbed what she went there for and when she went into Sean's room to turn out the light, it wasn't on anymore, it was off.
The other thing that happened just happened this past weekend. We have a planter shelf that we dedicated to Sean in our home. It has one of his guitars on it, his ashes, pictures of him, little trinkets of his. Well, this weekend, Lela and I got the ladder out because we wanted to put a string of green Christmas lights up on the planter shelf so we could turn it on and it would glow green, like his room. Just as Lela started to climb up the ladder, the television turned on by itself. The cable box and the tv both turned on automatically. Lela thought I had turned it on, I thought Lela turned it on but the remote wasn't even near either of us.
It's been a year. Yesterday, my family and I wrote letters to Sean. We bought some green balloons and tied the letters to the strings. We then stood around a tree that we had planted in his honor with some of his ashes and read the letters and let the balloons go up to the sky. As the balloons rose up, we were silent and we prayed.
I miss my son. The lessons he taught me about becoming the man I always wanted to be are priceless. His mother did a great job at molding this little baby into a young boy with great values and morales. Thank you Christina. The last part of his life, I had the honor of raising the young boy into a young man. I beleive that he was in my life just long enough to teach me compassion and empathy and love and tolerance. It was a pleasure to love and care for and serve my son and God's son.
We miss you Sean Alexander Sobel!!

Hey Sean, It's Ryan. The guy you always called the "Independent Conservative". I'm going to miss you a lot friend. US/AZ History was one of the more fun classes I've had.
You and I would talk forever in that class and you used to make me laugh and
I made you laugh with all of my background humor. When I heard of your passing, everything just stopped. Fortunately this was after school, so I could drive home and just put all of this into my mind.
I had a bad head injury in 6th grade that makes me lose my memory from time to time, but I do not want to forget you Sean. My memory gets worse and worse every single day. Please let God know not to let you slip away.
You taught me that we as humans complain too much and we just need to live life as God planned. I was at your funeral in the back and stood the whole time. I couldn't help, but cry when your Grandmother, Gracie was talking.
I can't wait to see you again friend. And sorry for bumping your controls that one time in class. I was trying to stretch, but stretched out too far apparently.
Every time we get on that rink for our hockey games, we will always remember you. We want to win this championship in your honor and leave the trophy in your room with every single players signature. We have a lot of work to make this happen, but with God on our side, anything is possible.
We have a game tomorrow! You'll see me there. I won't see you, but I know you will be out there somewhere. Love you Sean.
Always And Forever
Ryan (Let's Win This Game)

My son. Where do I begin? My worst fear came true. I will never be the same. You will never leave my heart and mind. You taught me so many things baby. So many I see and realize. You were my beautiful son with unconditional love for mom. I will miss you forever mijo. Until we are reunited I ask and pray to the Lord to shower you with hugs and kisses for me. I will always remember your asking of hugs from me. I will never let you go. I love you....Mom

To Seans family and friends,
our prayers and thoughts are with you. There are no words that bring comfort to a wounded heart.
We lift you up to God, who is also sad for your loss. I do believe that HE, the Lord, will speak to each of you, either in dreams or visions, where you will see Sean dancing, singing and praising God. I believe, too, that Sean knows how much you are hurting and missing him. He desires that we understand, that he is in an awesome place of light, peace, comfort, and Joy (unspeakable).
He continues to be God's courageous soldier! May his memory live forever!
We were blessed to have known him, wish he could have stayed a while longer. We know that the Lord's ways are always good and above our own ways.
So sorry for your loss.
The Sapiens
You always wanted to go to the Park!

My Beloved Sean, please give me a sign that you are up there flying around with your beautiful and super big wings. I am so hoping that they are truly beautiful mijo. Grandpa & nana are still missing you and it will definitely take a super long time for us to forget you. We will still celebrate your 18th Birthday as if you were right here in our living room, no doubt about that. Its a rule that we made. We're so sure that God is letting you see how amazingly beautiful heaven is, right! So, enjoy the serenity and peace of it all, but if you see your big nana and she gets too loud, then please try and quiet her down mijo. I'm sure her and Louie are having a good time, too. Okay, my beloved, I love you more than life and always have, and I can't wait for you to give me a little sign that you are around us. Okay! By the way, was that you that threw down that grapefruit from the tree towards me the other night? Scared me, but then I immediately thought that it could of been a sign from you, because there was no wind. So, if it was you, thank you for giving me a fright mijo. :) LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND ALWAYS WILL FOREVER, YOUR NANA AND GRANDPA

My dear son, You have your legs back. Did you run up to heaven? I miss taking care of you already. My heart hurts when I think of all the fun times we have had. I feel sad when I think about not being able to go to the movies with you or taking you out to dinner for guys night out. Or going to hockey and baseball games. I'll miss watching you ride Cheyenne around on your wheelchair. My heart warms when I think about how you’re not suffering anymore. The last 2-3 weeks have been so difficult to watch you go through. I tried to hold it together and not let you know how very scared I was. I'm so grateful that God sat us down together and we had that last talk the night before you passed away. We cried together and were scared together. And it was ok. Sean, You taught me so many lessons about life and you will always be my Hero!!

Sean, You were an Angel on earth and now you are soaring above watching over us. The memories of your kind heart and pure spirit will never be forgotten. Give my Mom and Dad a big Angel hug for me and tell Rocky I miss him. There are so many people who love you and will never forget you. Peace, Love, & Light
