ANOTHER MOTHER WHO ALSO LOST A SON

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.

Dear Ruth and Jeff,
Sumter and I want to extend our heartfelt and deepest sympathies over your loss. Sumter fondly recalls Bryan's attendance at one of his birthday parties at Kim's Japanese Steakhouse when they were younger, their days at Christ Our King - Stella Maris School and a recent conversation that Sumter had with Bryan. Having suffered a similar loss - the loss of a sibling and child, Sumter and I have some idea of the feelings which you may now be experiencing. If there is anything that either of us can do, individually or collectively, please do not hestitate to contact us. Bryan was a beautiful child and will truly be missed by his family and friends. Our wish for you is that as time passes, your tremendous sense of loss and sadness and will be replaced with only warm memories of the wonderful times that you shared with Bryan. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
