SHERRI AND STAN,

SHERRI, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE DIME. MY STORY SOMEONE TOLD ME WAS PENNIES AND I FIND THEM, PENNIES FROM HEAVEN THEY SAID.

I HAVE A STORY, MY MOM BOUGHT US ALL BRACELETS WITH OUR CHLDRENS HEADS AND THEIR NAMES ON IT AND I LOST MINE.
ONE DAY I WAS FEELING DOWN REMEMBERING BILL AND I WAS CLEANING OUT A DRAWER AND FOUND BILL’S CHARM WITH HIS NAME ON IT. IT WAS LIKE UNBELIEVABLE.

SOMETIMES LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT CAN GIVE YOU A GOOD FEELING. SOMETIMES AFTER ALL THIS TIME I STILL HAVE BAD DAYS LIKE HIS BIRTHDAY.
SOMETIMES AFTER A TRADEGY HAPPENS YOU FEEL BAD WHEN YOU LAUGH, BUT WE CANNOT DO THAT. LIFE IS SO FAST AND OUR LOVED ONES WOULD WANT US TO BE HAPPY. IT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE THEM SAD TO SEE US SAD.
SO I SAY MY LITTLE PRAYER FOR YOU AND STAN EVERY MORNING.
COMFORT EACH OTHER AND LAUGH TOGETHER. I THANK GOD FOR GEORGE AS HE HAS HELPED ME THROUGH SO MANY TIMES.

I WISH I LIVED CLOSER SO WE COULD VISIT YOU, BUT I AM SENDING YOU A HUG.

AND BE HAPPY. REMEMBER DECLAN’S SMILE AND HE WANTS TO SEE YOURS.

LUV YA, AUNT KAY

SHERRI AND STAN,

AFTER READING THE WORDS OF THE SONG, I JUST SAT HERE AND CRIED.
IT SEEMS THE SONG WAS WRITTEN FOR YOU TWO.
I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU BOTH A HUG.
ONE DAY WE WILL KNOW WHY OUR SONS WERE TAKEN FROM US AND YOURS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME.
I THINK DECLAN GOT HIS COURAGE AND STRENGTH FROM HIS MOMMY AND DADDY.
HE WAS ALWAYS SMILING EVEN ALL HE WENT THROUGH.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND I AM SENDING A HUG.

LUV YOU, A. KAY

Wow, 5 months that he was sick, and now 5 months since Declan has been gone. Without sounding as if I wished him pain or illness, I wish that first 5 months had been longer. My daughter found a few extra Declan’s Journey bracelets that we had bought to share with others, and was shocked and sad trying to figure out to do with them… and she never even met him. Keep strong, as you have been doing… and you don’t have to be strong 100% of the time to still be doing an amazing job, you know.
