Thanks for the great prose, and the profound sentiment!

I would say thanks~ but today I was just the vesel for what the "spirit" poured out of me, what needed to be said.

Poor sweet little boy. Wish I could have taken him in.

Ghost, there are a lot of children in need out there.  This poor baby was one of many.  It's not too late to help them.

Just keeping your eyes and ears open will help out~ as will anything one can do.

(ghost)~ I know exactly how you feel.

We would love to adopt or be foster parents, but we both have to work, and I don't want kids raised by daycare. Kids in foster care already have enough to deal with, and I believe they need a parent at home. We have considered adopting when my oldest boy moves out, so we have room.

BTW~ if anyone is motivated to do so there is a obituary for Kevin/Daniel at the obit page here at TBC site,,just click his name to see his guest book where one can leave a message to the family.

Kevin's passing has really affected my family. As I mentioned before, he and my son played together at school and his foster brother was in the same class as my boy, Jack. SInce his passing and his brotherss abrupt withdrawl from school, my son has taken to crying when his mom drops him off at school. He's getting better, just a few tears now, but he never did that before. We still pray for his family each night.

  I thought about you and your family yesterday. The children are young,so understanding this must be very hard for them. But I know you and your wife will find a way.

 I am holding the family in my thoughts and now I'll add your little boy.

Can't quite express my feelings on this subject, but I'm grateful to you, Sage, for expressing yours so beautifully.  All I can say is that I'm so very, very sorry about the loss of this sweet little boy.

I just had to acknowledge this child's passing.
