Thank you for sharing your loving story and life. My boy passed at 5 years of age from a heart disorder. Say hello if you come across him. He had a bond to his family just as you did to yours. Thank you for the lessons of love. See you on the other side!! P.S. tell him to continue visiting. We miss him.
Oh, he is wonderful! We've already gotten to know each other here. He is so young and strong and handsome! He's waiting for you and he is doing just fine. He sees that you cry and he wants you to try to focus on the happy times you shared. There were so many! When you are happy, he is happy because you are both still deeply connected. He feels what you feel. We love you and we look forward to seeing you when your time comes to cross the Bridge too.
