Saying good-bye is too hard to do

There were lots of beautiful flowers.

And soon, they too will be gone.
But the memory of my 3 beautiful grandsons will live on forever.


Because that's the only choice we have.

The last week and a half has been the worst of our entire lives. You know, you all saw it. And there are a lot of things I don't know right now.
Like:
How did this happen?
How will we get through it?
How can life go on?
Why?
Why?
Why?

I don't know the answers and I'm not sure I ever will. But I do know that we are so grateful for our family and friends. There have been so many people that have been there for us, we can't even begin to name or thank them all. Family, friends and even strangers have pitched in to help. It's so big, bigger than I can even understand.
I think I'm not making sense right now. But it's hard to make sense out of something so senseless.  So instead of trying, I'm just going to say thank you.

Chad and I, along with our entire family are so devastated right now. But we want to say thank you to everyone, for caring and helping. The kindness that has been shown to us is more than we could have ever imagined.

We will miss these boys, and nothing will ever be the same. Our hearts are both broken and swelled with gratitude. Thank you!

    Trudi and Chad,
    You are making perfect sense. My girlfriend lost her son, tragicaly, about 5 years ago. It's still very hard on the family. Nothing we can say will make it any easier. But like you said, you have alot of support from friends and family....

    My heart breaks for your family. My thoughts and prayers have been with you. I wish there was more we could say or do. If you need anything, please know all you need to do is ask. We love you guys!!

  3. I will say a prayer tonight, and every night, for them. And for you. I know that no words can ever come close to easing this unbelievable tragedy, but I hope you know that an entire community out there grieves for you, and wishes that their memory will always be a blessing, and will always be a reason for hope.
