There is so much there....the profound loss, the way you and Zen turn to one another (literally; the physical evidence of how you lean on each other emotionally/spiritually is there), the joy of Hunter's life, the way little Ryder was mesmerized by his brother's video...<br /><br />I just wanted you to know that there are many people out there who remember your boy (who could forget Hunter?) and who pray for your family. You and Zen truly inspire me to be a better wife and to be grateful for every day.<br /><br />Hugs, love and peace to you all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240731835937867324.post-57439901335467897992011-04-10T19:18:12.713-07:002011-04-10T19:18:12.713-07:00To Collin's Dad - I am so, so, so sorry for yo...To Collin's Dad - I am so, so, so sorry for your loss.

And of course....I HAVE to read it! I will forever want to know how you and Zen are! I still to this day can not believe Hunter is gone....and watching the videos of him make me laugh and cry all at the same time. You are truly an amazing person Lenore....the ability to share what you are feeling with this world....a world who needs to be reminded of how we should do NOTHING bigger than love one another as if it were our last day here! I pray for you and Zen..and for the healing you need....knowing that it will happen ever so slowly and ever so painfully! The journey that you travel each day is a reminder to me to be grateful for what I have in my life. I thank you for the time and effort you put into making sure we all know how important a little life can be!

About a 3 year old boy who had a near-death experience and discribes heaven. He discribes sitting in the lap of Jesus, how much God loves the children, and how he met his older, nameless sister (she was miscarried before he was born. The parents didn't know her sex, and only had a boy's name picked out). He also met his great grandpa (who died before he was born). For me, it validates the reality of Heaven, and reminds me that it truly is a "better place." Typically, I am doubtful of this type of story, but this book is different...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240731835937867324.post-42950844686671390392011-04-06T11:29:36.444-07:002011-04-06T11:29:36.444-07:00Iris Wellman - I am coming upon 4 years since my s...Iris Wellman - I am coming upon 4 years since my son stepped into eternity--thank you for your honesty in expressing your feelings and heart--loving you and praying for you and your familyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240731835937867324.post-50971327705795570132011-04-06T11:28:48.096-07:002011-04-06T11:28:48.096-07:00Kelly Roberts - Lenore, your strength, even in you...Kelly Roberts - Lenore, your strength, even in your weakest moments is amazing. Thank you for being so real and vulnerable. For giving all of us a reason to remember we have much to be thankful for. It's easy to assume, from my distance, that you're adapting to your new reality...what a foolish thought. I'm so sorry to have made that heartless assumption. I will continue to pray for you (for Katie C. too). It may not seem like much "consolation" but I want you to know that your story ministers to my heart. It keeps me from my own dispair (which I have no right to feel). It puts my meager problems and losses into perspective and, when I slip into my own state of sorrow it gently whispers "shame on you." Your story reminds me that what truly matters, I still have. And what I've lost, never truly mattered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240731835937867324.post-82834839888016785502011-04-06T11:27:52.966-07:002011-04-06T11:27:52.966-07:00Lisa Fields - What a blessing to receive your trut...Lisa Fields - What a blessing to receive your truth and love, faith, trust, and presence.

I wish I could have met him. He was and is an amazing little soul. You know, I lost a baby almost two years ago, to miscarriage at 3 1/2 months - and haven't been able to conceive again since. I often wonder who that child would have been. I know my pain doesn't equate to yours, because you knew that beautiful soul for three years... But I think losing a child is just the most horrendous thing a human can endure. I gain so much strength from you and Zen - to see how you have coped. I love how you always surround yourself with memories of Hunter. I bet Ryder will grow up feeling as though he knows Hunter. Thank you again... You are both such beautiful, strong people! I know that sparkle known as Hunter lives on not only because he was such an amazing child, but because of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240731835937867324.post-77924326238694546212011-04-06T11:26:27.314-07:002011-04-06T11:26:27.314-07:00Linda Fernandes Bryce - ditto!! :******Linda Fernandes Bryce - ditto!! :******Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240731835937867324.post-49222091488531171732011-04-06T11:26:05.365-07:002011-04-06T11:26:05.365-07:00Annie Whinery - Read this again tonight.

Pediatric oncology was a calling for me even before I became a nurse. When I lost a patient as a nursing student I realized I simply could NOT do it on a daily basis. Not because of the children, but because of the parents. That loss. That emptiness. That eternal ache for your angel baby. I still pray for you all.
