The only thing harder than a mother losing a child is being the grandmother of that child. For the past year I have watched my "child" go through unbeleivable pain yet she continues to be strong for her family. Mr. Jon and I were talking about you today Liam, and we remembered the time when we were visiting at your house on Kelly circle and you went into Evie's room, put on one of her dresses and came back out, sat on the couch and continued watching tv. It was so funny to watch you. One of my favorite memories was you telling your mom your wished your heart had wings so it could come visit me. I made you a cake that weekend and decorated it with a heart with wings and I Love You on it. You changed our lives forever. We love and miss you. Nana and Mr. Jon
Christie...What a beautiful memorial and video. I will be thinking and praying for you and your family today (especially at 12 noon). Love and healing thoughts headed your way. Alice, Kirby, Jamie, and Joshua
What a cutie! Never forget that Liam was your Teacher. Just as our Johanna, who passed 9 Nov 2012, was also our Teacher. Families who receive unconditional love in this way are richly transformed, emotionally and spiritually.
Dear Liam, Nana was at your house yesterday and you know what? In the quiet of the night and quiet moments of the day if I listen carefully I can sometimes hear the echo of your voice. I can feel your presence all around us and enjoy looking at your memorial garden mommy, daddy and your brother and sisters helped make for you. It is real peaceful. Its been almost 7 long months since you were taken from us. I miss you as much today as the first day . Mr. John and I talk about you all the time, and I know you are with him in the truck. Have you asked him to blow his horn sometime? We love you soooo much. Nana is sending you a big kiss and hugs. Until I see you again.
Five long months have gone by and some people might think it would be a little easier but they couldn't be more wrong. Some days it's even harder than at first. Nana misses you sooo very much. I miss your big smile, your hugs, and I miss you playing with my hair. ( though Nyla does a pretty good job of it). I have so many good memories of you. You are forever in my thoughts and prayers. Help us all be strong. When I look at the dark night sky and see the stars, I am reminded of the last time I sang you ” twinkle, twinkle little star” and I pick out the brightest one I can see and know that is you looking down on me. I love Liam.
Liam, your mommy reminded us of this page so I figured its a good place to post. I hope you see how strong your entire family is being and how dearly your missed by everyone. I got to spend some time with your brother and sisters a little while ago. They speak very highly of you and miss you tons. Mothers day is in a couple days and although im sure itll be hard on mommy I know youll be right there with her to wish her a happy mothers day. Only the good die young liam, youll be very much missed, but NEVER forgotten. Until we meet again, we will all continue to look at your big blue eyed pictures with your smile that anyone could see from a mile away. (:
My handsome blondie. You are one of a kind. Even though it has been five months since your passing, we think of you every day and hope you are proud of us especially when we have a bad day/moment. Love you to pieces.
What to say? there are no words to express the deep sorrow I feel at the loss of your precious little boy. He brought so much joy to all of us. He opened so many doors for us and showed us how important it is to be open minded and tolerant of those that are "different". His memory will live on forever in all those who's lives he has touched. I will miss him til the day I see him again. Love Mom/Nana
Christie and Robert, my heart is breaking for you and your family. I will keep your family in my prayers. If there is anything at all my family and I can do to help please let me know. God Bless You ALL!!!
Every child you teach touches your heart in their own special way. Liam is no exception. I am thankful, and honored that I got to be his teacher at UCP, if just for a short while. His smile and his winks will always stay with me. May God heal your heart, and bring you peace now that Liam is one of His angels.
