Today, someone sent me a poem, and thought I would share...
I wish heaven had a phone so I could talk to you again.. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new... I thought about you yesterday and days before that t...oo.. I think of you in silence.. I often speak your name.. All I ...have are memories and pictures in a frame......

To the family, I drove by the accident shortly after it occured, before the emergency personnel arrived. I prayed for Alex and for everyone involved. I had my three young sons with me. I had to stop shortly afterwards and hug them. Cherish the memories and celebrate his life. He seemed to be a great kid. It's been over a week now, but I think and pray for Alex and your family everyday.

To the family,
You do not know me, but I traveled past this awful accident not long after it happenned, just as the ambulances were arriving. I prayed for all involved then, and I will continue to hold each of you in my prayers everyday. I pray that you will feel God's grace and mercy and that you will rejoice in Alex's memory in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Jennifer

God, Your word says, 'You are a very present help in times of trouble...' Alex's Family & Friends need Your help right now, for this is a time of trouble for them. Please let Your Presence become very real to them. I ask that you would lift the heaviness of their hearts, and that You would bear their burden of sorrow and begin to exchange it for peace and hope. Father, shower them with unexpected tokens of Your love, so they would know how much You really do care. God, we do not understand suffering, but we are grateful that You have promised to be with us in the midst of it. Let Your words be a comfort to his parents and the rest of his family & friends in this time of tears. 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.' In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen
You do not know me, I received an e-mail by way of family & friends, who thought I might have a few things to share, since my husband & I lost our 18 year old son, almost 17 weeks ago. No parent should ever out-live their children... And although your son is no longer physically here on Earth, he will be in your hearts forever! I still cry everyday for my own son & I know a 79 year old Father who still cries everyday for his 18 year old son, who died nearly 40 years ago...
It's not gonna be easy! Losing a child never is... Keep thinking of Alex & know that he is with the Lord & the rest of your family who has gone on before him... For us, to get through each day, we put up a ton of photos of our son, in his old bedroom; hung up a couple of his favorite shirts; Post Letters, Notes, & Photos on his Legacy page; & well we just never stop thinking about him. However, You have to do what's best for YOU! We'll be praying for you & the rest of your family... Here are a few web-sites that have been Very Helpful to us...
(http://www.compassionatefriends.org/about_us/To_the_Newly_Bereaved.aspx) (http://www.webhealing.com) (http://www.centerforloss.com)
At our Youngest Son's Memorial Service, our Middle Son stood up & said: "... I came up with a good analogy on why my Mom called a thousand people that 1st day & why all of us here are gonna go home & tell someone else & why I'm standing here telling all of you... ---> My Brother, Greggy dying was like us, our family receiving a 50,000 Slice Pizza... It'll take a long time for us to eat that pizza, it's gonna give us a lot of heartburn, and a lot of stomach aches. But every time I talk about it, it's like giving you a slice. It doesn't mean that when we're done with that pizza it's gone, it just means that it'll be a lot easier to swallow. Right here, I'm giving away a lot of pizza. It doesn't make that 50,000 number any smaller, but it does in the long run... Every time I think about him, Every time I turn to my girlfriend & tell her that story that I just thought about, I'm giving her another piece, She's gonna have a little bit of Heart-burn in the process, but the point is, It's gonna go away..." - He shared with us a few memories, that was able to make us all laugh & then he said: - "... I'm glad I was able to give each one of you a piece of Pizza today... Thank You all for Being here"
I hope that helps others to understand a little more of what your family is going through...
God Bless, & If you ever wanna talk, contact me...

A dear friend once told me that having a child is a "GIFT" from God, one that is ours until he wants them back. This took some time for me to understand or want to believe...but he is right. I pray that you find comfort, peace and understanding in time why God called Alex home. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Much love to you and your family, Barb Kondos
