Total downer - don't even read this

I just got back from the funeral of my friend's 11 year old son. No one should ever have to go through such a thing. I hope to never be able to truly sympathize with such agony, but as a parent I can't help but want to do something, even if it's small.

So here's my meager tribute to a little boy named Conner who wanted to be an astronaut. Please think of him and his family, and if you pray, say one for them tonight.

I just needed to write this, even if it isn't much. If you did read it (despite the warning) and you have a child - go hug them.

  2. I'm so sorry for your friend, his family and for your loss. As a mom of an 8 year old boy, this definitely hits home. I am saying a prayer for his family tonight.

  3. I am a mom too, and of course I aware this is the hardest pain in this world we live in... and it's saying a lot... I'll pray for them and for all mothers, because we give up peace when we take our chances and choose become a parent
