Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Sonny and Lois,

I want to thank you both for allowing me and Larry to share some good times with Beau playing in the fountain at our home and especially when Beau sprayed me with the water hose and wet me good! I loved every minute of it. Also to his parents-Parham and Jennifer thanks for letting us all share in your son's journey.

Jennifer and Parham,
How ironic, I lost my sine Walker on November 29th, 1999 to a long battle with a brain tumor. I only heard about you loss today when my ex-wife Sandy Jackson sent me a copy of the notice in the newspaper. I can‘t tell you how much my heart goes out to you. Rarely does one come into any contact with someone who can say I know how you feel and really mean it.
We endured the frequent trips to the hospital, scans good and bad, the hopes and despairs, the frustrations, and all the other things that go along with having and finally losing a sick child who has done nothing in life to deserve such a fate. My only solace is knowing that our son Walker is now in a better place and has an understanding that we will have once we get to where they are. I cry for and ache for you and your family because I know only too well how hard this is. It will get better but it will never go away. I don’t know anything more about you that what I have just read but do know that my hopes and prayers are with you and your family.
If I can ever do anything to be of service or you need someone to talk to please let me know.

Sonny and Lois, I can't imagine what you are going through. Just know that we are here. Beau fought a long and hard battle, and just know that he is not suffering anymore. It is the ones that are left behind that are suffering. Brad and I both love you always. And special prayers for the parents, Parham and Jennifer.

To Parham and Jennifer
God has blessed you beyond measure. Beau is your testimony to how much you love God. I know that God will give you the strength to get you through the difficult times ahead. I will keep you both in my prayers.

To Granddaddy Hugh
Hugh, as a grandfather myself, I know you are proud of your grandson Beau. He has touched so many peoples lives just as you have mine and many others as students at Pitt Community College. Beau was also an educator of life just as you are and how we should live it. God had his plan for Beau just as he has a plan for us.
Hugh thanks for being my friend.
I will pray for you and your family often that He will give you strength in the coming days.

My heart is broken for you. I hope that you can find peace in knowing that Beau is with God and that he has new healthy body. I believe that there are rocking chairs in Heaven and maybe Grandmama Miller is rocking Beau even now. I know it's hard to understand why, but we'll have to wait till we gather in Heaven and God explains it all to us.
