Sorrowful Weekend #NaBloPoMo

This weekend I....attended my friend's 2 1/2 year old sons funeral.
It was tough.
Sammy and TJ lost their beautiful boy Bram when he was hit by a car flying through a parking lot when they were going to get family photos taken.

Bram was such a beautiful boy.


My heart is so torn up for this amazing family.
Sammy and TJ are such amazing parents and love their boys so much.
I can not imagine the pain they must be going through.
Sammy posts a few thing on her facebook about her grief, but I know that what she is posting isn't even the tip of the iceberg of pain she is feeling.

On Saturday they had a balloon release before his funeral.
On the day Bram was born there was some debate on what time he was born, some thought 11:06 and others 11:08.

Last Saturday, the day he was taken from this world, he passed and was born into Heaven at 11:07.

His parents and brothers released their balloons at exactly 11:07 a week after losing their beautiful boy.

It was a beautiful release and once all the balloons were in the air someone caught a picture of the balloons that floated up and formed a heart.
I don't think it was a coincidence.
I believe it was a sign for God to show all the love Bram brought to everyone.

Here are photos I took:




































This was a skit they did showing how it is not scary to go to Heaven.

Sammy



Please keep this amazing, beautiful family in your prayers.
Pray for Sammy and TJ in their time of grief and pray for their boys, Tatum, Kaleb and Alden as they lost their brother.

Pray for healing.

Judah got his ear pierced! Benefit For Bram! #NaBloPoMo

On Saturday we stopped by Sally's Beauty Supply store.
They have self ear piercing kits and I asked Ora if she wanted to get her ears pierced.
She was not into it at all, but Judah on the other hand wanted to.
I bought a kit, but was later talked out of it when Jonathan decided to scare the crap outta him.
Then I remembered I have metal allergies and have to wear gold, white gold or tungsten or else I get rashes that itch like no other, water blisters and pain.

The kit I purchased was gold plated, and that just wasn't going to cut it so I decided against using the kit.
On Sunday after picking the kiddos up from Nana's we stopped by the mall and into Claire's where we got Judahs ear pierced.

After getting the first one done he didn't want to get the other one done right away.
I was going to wait for him to collect himself, but again Jonathan stepped in and basically rushed us out.

Of course as soon as we were leaving Judah was asking about getting his other ear pierced.
I told him it was going to be quite a while before we would be able to do it because it cost us $50 for the earring, cleaner and piercing.
He told me he wished that he had gotten the other one done. :/

Also, here is something Judah shared with daddy then later wanted to share on the interwebs :)




On a side note, I attended a Benefit for Bram dinner.
I knew no one there, but that is ok.
I know TJ, Samantha and their other three boys need time to grieve.
I was there to support them and to let them know that I care.
I pray that God heals their souls and gives them peace in this difficult time.

Sorrow... #NaBloPoMo

It is with great sadness that I have this subject to even post about.

My friend Sammy lost her beautiful 2 year old son, Bram, in a tragic accident.

He was hit by a car in a parking lot in Littleton.

I can't even put into words the sorrow I feel for Sammy and her family. Bram was taken too soon!


Such a beautiful little boy.

He has three brothers as well and I can't even imagine how they are coping with the loss of their brother as well.

This poor family is one of the BEST, loving, caring and sweet families I have ever met.
Sammy is an amazing mommy to her four boys. She is a midwifery student and an advocate for Trust Birth.

Her family is having a very rough time being without their little man this holiday season so PLEASE keep them in your prayers!

I can't even imagine the pain they are going through as the sorrow I feel for this beautiful family has completely thrown my off kilter.

I do not have the words to say to help this family through this hard time. I just want them to know that they have me praying for them and a whole group of prayer warriors praying for them!
