Whew. That's beyond heart ache, that's got to be a soul ache. Heartfelt prayers for some semblance of comfort for all. Just too sad.... Rest well little big guy.
Paul Cardall said, "I was born in 1973 with a severe congenital heart defect. Over the years I have been deeply affected by other sick children. One particular child was Gracie, a baby, who passed after a failed heart transplant. Its heartbreaking to watch parents fight to keep their children alive only to see them slowly slip back into Gods loving arms. However, it is inspiring to witness children whove been fortunate to continue their journey in this life. I am one of those. Regardless of the outcome it seems these experiences teach the value of life and how fragile it truly is. We live for a short while, but in the end we all go home to that God who gave us life."
Wyoelk, I don't know your situation but my heart is heavy for you. May this song bring you some comfort and joy in this sad time. My prayers are with you and your family.
On Monday I watched as my middle child passed. On Saturday we have his services.
Goodbye big guy. You left a giant hole in my heart. Till we meet again....
Brother, Ive been there. Sucks big time. The only thing that got me through was supporting my family and being supported by them and close friends. Prayers for you and yours.
wyoelk - so saddened to know that you have lost your precious son. Words are so insufficent in comparison to your grief, but my heart is heavy for you and our family will hold yours up in prayer. I hope that these many caring posts and the support shown here are of some help to you in this worst of times. May God bless and give comfort to you and yours.
Your beautiful boy reminds me of my own son at that age,my little boy just turned 9,and I can not imagine how you feel at this time.
But I can promise you two things,we will pray for you and your family,and I can assure you on the authority of scripture that your son has a home in heaven.
Innocent little children go directly to the highest level in heaven to dwell eternally in the presence of God.
But even knowing this, I cannot think of a more difficult challenge for parents to face. My younger brother and his wife went through the same thing. While it is extremely difficult; peace can be found in fervent prayer to Heavenly Father and through the Atonement of Christ, you will see your son again.
My deepest sympathy at this time of loss in your life.
I grieve with you but can't begin to imagine what it's like to lose a son.....but God knows. The Word tells us that not a sparrow falls to earth that His eye does not see. Take comfort in Him.
What a handsome young man, those crystal blue eyes are just hypnotic... can't say I can even imagine what you and your family are going through. Loosing a child has got to be the worst possible burden put upon a person's shoulders.
I can't even begin to imagine the hollowness of heart. Thoughts and prayers for all of you that he left behind. Try to remember that he is eternally happy and content and will be there to greet you some day. Keep the memories alive for one another.
Oh my.... I do not even know how one can deal with such a loss. I am so very sorry on your behalf. Praying for you and your family NOW! You are in my heart and prayers, sir.
I am no Pastor, but I hope these words from Gods word will be of some comfort:
From Isaiah, Chapter 65, VS's 17b,19b,20
"BEHOLD, I will create NEW heavens and NEW earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. The sound of weeping and crying will be heard NO MORE. NEVER again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years. He who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth.....
(Cap empahsis mine)
Even so Lord Jesus COME!
God himself will soon wipe every tear from our eyes, may this be true for you, very soon.
From the picture, he looks well taken care of and wholeheartedly loved. I can see that just in his disposition.
In this horrible time of circumstance, I pray that you don't focus on the time being without him, but on the joy of the cherished memories that you were able to be with him.
I must go now keyboard is starting to shortout.......
Damn.. just damn. I can't even begin to say how sorry I am to read this, nor can I imagine what you all are going through. Just please know that my family will be thinking and praying for you and yours.

--------------------------------------------------------- Didn't much more than get the words read and looked at the picture and my eyes were full of tears. God bless.
what a day. This morning i was reading the wanderings of a couple of people pizzing on one another here at the campfire. A very nice older gentleman i know was removed to a hospice home this morning, and i went to prescott to visit a man approaching 90, never had two nickels to rub together, but some wonderful daughters and a son. His grandmother was at atlanta when sherman burned it. Then back to phx to deal with a woman sliding into dementia. And two golden retrievers down in the last couple of months. REading this puts in all in perspective. I lost a son a few years back. I can understand from my perspective what you are dealing with. But this son was in his 40's, not so young. I guess the only thing i can say, is just, damn, and God must have a plan to take the good ones home so quick. And things like this bring out the power of the campfire, that you know you are not alone. Ron
Man, it is amazing how reading of such a loss can immediately change ones mood, and whole outlook on the gift of life in general. Kinda puts things into perspective.
I am truly sorry for your loss. What a beautiful looking child.....
2012 has been an exceptionally cruel year. There has been a disproportionate number of tragedies and this is another. Take care of yourself and your family and know people of are keeping you all in thoughts and prayers.
Lets have a moment of silence for the little guy, tonight at 10 PM Lets say 60 seconds of no posting, no bs no nothing . Just 60 sec in honor of the little man.
Man I am so sorry to hear this. I cannot imagine how you must feel. I know your hurting and you are probably confused and frustrated perhaps even angry. It is when things happen that we can't understand that our faith is tested the most. I will pray for you and your family to have strength and comfort.
May the God of love light your path as you travel through this dark valley. He does understand how you feel his Son died too.

I rarely read through a thread of 20 pages, a few pages are usually enough to get the various feelings of the Fire.
This time was different, even though reading one message would have been enough to know, I read them all and was slowly crying.
I wish you and your family all the shared love that will allow you to transcend this unbelievable loss. I feel sure that you will emerge with something new and worthwhile in your hearts.
I'm sorry for your loss. I've sadly seen children parish through a variants of ways. I know that you provided the best possible wonderful life for this child, again sorry for your loss.
Damn, that's a kick in the heart. I am so very sorry for you and your family. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Prayers are sent for you and yours.
I can't stop looking at this thread. It makes me kiss my kids an extra time, hug them a bit longer, and throw in a few extra "I love you's" at bed time tonight.
Wyoelk, I'm truly grieving for you tonight.
I know God has a plan for all of us, I just wish he's run it by us once in a while.
If there is anything you need that I or my family can do for you, please let me know via PM.
I just tucked in my youngest into her crib with a bottle and came out to the computer and found this thread. It hurts me to read. Your son's blue eyes look just like my daughter's. From father to father, I am so sorry. I do not know what else to say.
I can't imagine what you're feeling even though I too had to bury a child, my 8 month old daughter, many years ago. Like David (BYC) said, if there's anything you need or just someone to talk to, don't hesitate to lean on us.
can think of nothing to say, wyoelk. can't imagine the way you must feel.....God give you strength. just had to go in and hug my big old 20 year old boy/man....he thinks I'm losing it. He's right.
This is about the umpteenth time I've started a reply and couldn't finish for choking back tears of sorrow everytime I looked at your little big guy's picture.
I offer up my prayers and sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your precious little big guy.
Our family wishes to express our greatest condolences to yours. From this huge loss we hope your family can stay together and find peace. Please God grant us a happy hunting ground for our loved ones. Our Prayers, LWR208
All I can say is that my heart bleeds for you and your family. Truly at a loss for words on this one. Going to hug my grandsons tomorrow and tell them that I love them.
Nothing I can say will bring your son back. However, I want to express my condolences. May God grant you and your family the grace to make it through this very difficult time. Love your wife and children like you never have before.
I am sorry for your loss. I have three kids, two older and one baby boy six months old. I can't imagine what you are going thru. I will pray for you and your family. .......SmokeRolls
Ashamed to say I spent too much time last evening following threads where good men (I thought) were acting badly to each other. Then this thread shows up and we are all forced to see what's really important. Spent tonight with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart for wyoelk and family.
I am SO SORRY to hear of your little ones passing. I cannot imaging the pain and emotions of such a loss. Please accept my condolences for your family.
Be safe and know his love through your memories. Patty
I am so very sorry for you and your family. My heart is broken for the little guy. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. I hope you have lots of family and friends close by to lean on. God bless all of you. Prayers for comfort are on the way.
Wyo, I am very sorry to read of your loss. There are no words I can offer to make you feel any better. Just know you have our prayers and thoughts during this time.
I often just want to lock my children away, to keep them safe from the world, as they are really too precious to me. The only way I can keep from doing so is to remember that my girls really don't belong to me, they belong to God. All I can do is love them the best I can while we're here together. I'm so sorry you had to let your child go and can't really fathom how I would feel in your place. I'll continue to pray for you and your family. You know where he is and he will be waiting for you....
From a parent who has also lost a child, I share your grief. I can only pray for you and ask Gods strength for you and your's in these trying days. lonerider
I am no Pastor, but I hope these words from Gods word will be of some comfort:

"..... NEVER again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years. He who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth....."
MARK
Real Comfort, Grace & Strength comes from God, and we do the best we can to help.
Sorry to hear about the passing of your son. He must of been quite special that the Lord brought him home so soon to the kingdom of heaven. I'll never forget the picture you posted of little big guy. Prayers sent from my family.
wyoelk, Am praying for you and yours this day. I know that only a father who has lost a son can feel the same pain, and I haven't been in your shoes personally. But my Heavenly Father knows your pain and we ask Him to give you peace and comfort.
