There are a lot of people who don’t view the holiday as anything MORE than a long weekend. We’re thinking of you today…
Camilles last blog post..Let Me Tell You About the Time I Faced Death in a Pristine Bathroom
I was always aware of veterans and of family that had passed but it wasn’t so difficult or personal. Plus, his birthday is coming up, so the day just blows in general.
Thinking of you today….boy oh boy did you boys grow since last years pic…or maybe you shrunk ;)
Heidis last blog post..Dead Head
We totally swung by to say “hey” to Bug when we were there yesterday – just wanted you to know we were thinking of him and you and your family.
You are in my heart.
witchypoos last blog post..Unsettled
Thinking of you guys!
Awe. *sniff*
Those pictures are wonderful.
rachels last blog post..Mouthwatering Monday: Monkey Bread
Thinking of you.
I also wanted to say that my son, Hunter, shares Matthew’s birthday (two years later, however). I will be thinking of you with a special place in my heart, this year.
Elizabeths last blog post..Pullin’ up
Sweet, dear heart.
Backpacking Dads last blog post..Nightmare
Anything I think of to say sounds really stupid. . .
I always thought it was neat when families have a special picture they take the same place every year. But I am so sorry to see this one :-( I can’t believe you can even smile :-(
I never can say something appropriate at times like this, so I’ll leave it at..
Oh, honey…
Sarahs last blog post..Always, Always Inappropriate
“Memorial day” is every day when you have lost a child; I know that all too well. But taking a special day, set aside to remember with the whole family is a brilliant way to honour the life of a loved one. And the smiles on your faces say that love still lives here, within your family. Bravo! Bravo!
4s last blog post..RELAY FOR LIFE- MAY 24TH
Is it wrong that I’m jealous of your headstone? *sad smile* We went today too, brought some flowers to place (good thing we know where to look, headstone or no). I feel ya, girl. *hugs*
Marilyns last blog post..Where’d everybody go??
You have to love the spunk in your boys…they keep Bug’s spunk alive.
At one point during BlogHer, when you least expect it and will never know, I am going think of your Bug while toasting and hugging and laughing and geeking out is reigning supreme, and silently send him some love.
Even if I don’t end up making it to BlogHer, or meet you at if I am there.
Christines last blog post..Into the light of the dark, black night
{{HUGS}}
The pictures really tell a story… your boys are really growing! Hugs to you all…
Sharons last blog post..Memorial Day…
Hugs to you, my friend.
andis last blog post..Ah, retirement
Sending you peaceful thoughts.
Teris last blog post..Showing you my backside
The hardest thing a parent has to do is bury a child. We had a stillborn girl on December 10, 1980. There’s a hole in our lives where she should be. There always will be. As there will be in yours. My deepest sympathy.
lceels last blog post..What it’s like in MY mind
Sending my sincerest sympathy your way. **Hugs**

Thinking of you, sweetie.

Kimberlys last blog post..The Cooking Curse
I’m all teary. Love you!
Angellas last blog post..Even Superman Gets Tired
I wish i had perfect words, but alas, i don’t , so I will second the sentiments of “4″ from above me.
pgoodnesss last blog post..home again, home again
Here I thought we were the only ones who took photos in front of our son’s stone.
You have no idea how relieved I am to find out you do to.
Takes one crazy mom to know another.
Happy moving friend.
I’m thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family.
She Likes Purples last blog post..Life Is Short But Sweet For Certain
Those are some beautiful family photos.
Prayers and hugs to get you through the rough spots.
Your photos are very sweet.
I can’t imagine living after losing a child. You’re so brave! Your family is lovely.
Occidental Girls last blog post..No Answers
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful family. You are brave…thanks for sharing them with us.
Thinking of you, Loralee. God that must be tough.
The Over-Thinkers last blog post..There are Winners, there are Losers and there are people who enter contests for Chocolate Tea, Cupcakes and Books about Ugly Food
You’re a brave, beautiful family. Here’s to your Bug.
