I'm sitting her bawling after reading your posts as I cannot even begin to imagine your pain. <BR/><BR/>For the last month every time I've heard someone say Isaac, your sweet little boy is the thing on my mind and I'm positive that I'm not the only one. I have never met you (and most likely never will), but your story has touched me on many levels.

Each morning I pray for your family and each day, at different times, you enter my thoughts. It is amazing how someone's life can impact another without even meeting. I will continue to pray for you. I pray that God reveals how much your faithfulness has touched the lives of so many.

She was 45.<BR/><BR/>An 85 year old woman from my church at home called. She had lost both her sons and a husband within 10 years.<BR/><BR/>She said, "I wish I could say something to make it better, but I know that there is nothing I can say, so I'll sing you a little song to make you think of something else."<BR/><BR/>She then belted out the WORST rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star ever heard on earth. For the short time the song lasted, I could only think of how to escape the noise.<BR/><BR/>When she was done, she asked if I had thought about my troubles and sorrow while she was singing. I had to admit that I had other things on my mind.<BR/><BR/>"Good!" she said. "That's just I wanted to hear. Now let's pray that you remember that minute when you think you have too much sorrow in your heart."<BR/><BR/>We prayed. I can't say it was all better, but for a minute, it was.<BR/><BR/>I won't sing for you, but imagine what it would sound like and for just one minute, maybe you can let it go.<BR/><BR/>In between those minutes, we're praying for you and Spencer. Your story is so amazing and so is your spirit. We can never forget you, Spencer and Issac.<BR/><BR/>My friend and I pray for you daily and I will protect your ears. She really did want to sing for you.<BR/><BR/>In HIS love,<BR/>With OUR love,<BR/>Jan and her friend, Gretchen (Who is now 92.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16508488901278114809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-49591752265331482542008-11-12T20:51:00.000-05:002008-11-12T20:51:00.000-05:00I am with you- wordless- but my thoughts,my prayer...I am with you- wordless- but my thoughts,my prayers, my ache..is with you.<BR/><BR/>JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-30786034791038272102008-11-12T12:32:00.000-05:002008-11-12T12:32:00.000-05:00Because of you, I hug my son tighter each night.Because of you, I hug my son tighter each night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-31987307567150008192008-11-12T12:01:00.000-05:002008-11-12T12:01:00.000-05:00I really love this entry.One of the greatest thing...I really love this entry.<BR/><BR/>One of the greatest things I remember hearing from people was, "I don't know what to say" or "I don't know what to do".

You have many of us to "sit" with you through what you so eloquently described in this post. No parent should have to bury their child--it is an out of sequence event. And we will keep by your side as you process your upside down world.<BR/><BR/>Isaac is and always will be your son. That is heart wrenching and comforting at the same time. I hope all the conflicting emotions somehow come together for you.<BR/><BR/>Isaac will not be forgotten. I have been travelling up to the Grotto in Emmitsburg, and lighting a candle for Isaac whenever I can. I always light the same one--it is all the way to the left, and its flame dances the brightest because it gets the most wind. It also stays lit for shorter periods of time, but the twinkling of it so bright. I think it is the most beautiful, but most vulnerable candle there. You can bet I will keep it lit.<BR/>Much love, JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-28566922819281391742008-11-11T22:11:00.001-05:002008-11-11T22:11:00.001-05:00Thank you for sharing your sweet Issac with all of...Thank you for sharing your sweet Issac with all of us.
