James, it's been one year today that you slipped into eternity to be with your Heavenly Father. Your mother and I only had you with us for a short time but have so many blessings to be thankful for. We miss you terribly but know you are happy now and free from pain. We look forward to seeing you again in Christ Jesus. I wish I could tell you how much we miss you and love you. Peace and joy be with you until then. Love, dad

Just heard about this. James was my childhood/elementary school friend and neighbor. We knew each other well into our teens. He left us way too soon. I hope you've found peace.
