I spent the day with my two living children, my grandboys, my Dad, and the rest of my immediate family. I have only a few pics of the Blessed time I was allowed with my oldest on Polaroid. This is not one of them. But a reminder to me of each and every moment I did have with him. There is so much I remember during his short life. It was a very trying time for me during his short stay here on earth. And I had a battle for many years afterwards before I finally gave in to the Lord. I look back on my life now and see so much of what our Father has done, not just for me, but for others as well. The more I look, the more I find it to the point that I find it almost daily. And not just what we come to expect daily.
May each of you be blessed with the peace in Him, our Lord, that I have come to know.

I echo what you and Charlie say...there is life in Him and time heals all. And yes, it was a battle for me but with God's grace, the help of my family and most importantly my beautiful wife I am still alive today. Believe it or not, several TBH members (without knowing) have played a pretty important role as well. The new normal is much different now but I'm finally somewhat whole once again.
It's been 8 years and 10 days since my son died and for several years all I could think of was the negatives that were associated with his death. Only recently have I been able to draw on the fun and positive memories we shared during his 24 years of life.
I can only pray those of you in this "club" find eventual peace in life.
God Bless

However I am a living testament that the Lord can use an unimaginable tragedy for His good. There's not a day that goes by that I do not miss our son. I have come a long way toward healing. That hole is still there, but the scar is a sure sign of healing. I have been able to rejoice in the work the Lord has been able to do in me and through me because of this tragedy... I would love to be able to go back and undo it, but even so, I can honestly and boldly say the God through his unbounded mercy, grace and love has returned my joy... Yes I still have my moments, but I have adjusted to the new normal and I do everything I can to put Him first. To all of you who are brothers and sisters in this group, I pray you will let the Lord work on you and through you too to give you back your joy. It is a different joy and knowing that it is only temporary until we are rejoined with our beloved son and The Son, it is a good earthly joy.
God bless you all.
Bless each and every parent that has lost a child on TBH and around the world.
Again, I thank you SWS for all your encouragement and prayers offered.

Remembering some of the "special" TBH Fathers on Father's day
My annual bump of this thread. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.
There’s also a special group of guys that mean a lot to me around here. Wish we would have taken a group photo at Nanza this year since there were a lot of us there.
I guess just my ugly mug and SaltwaterSlick (Charlie) will have to suffice.

I can't exspress how my heart breaks for the Dad's that have lost one their children. Most of these Dads have sent me prayers in recent weeks. Prayers that come form a diffrent place that most can't comprehend. I thank each one of you from the bottom of my heart and will pray for each of you.

Thanks Joel! And all the other Dads. I continue to pray for all. Shortly, I'll be on my way to see my second child's family, along with my Dad and Mother. Hopefully, my youngest child will be there too. May the Lord bless all of you.
