They are so small, and the world is so big. When they are little, we need to protect them, because there comes a time when they will do what they will, and no amount of love or teaching, or punishing, or feeling guilty can change who they are once they turn the corner in to independence. It reminds me how important is to love them now, teach them today, don't trust the world to do the parenting job for you...this boys tragic death can change the lives of many people who are today holding a baby in their arms right now...their cell phone rings and they chatter on while their child pulls at their pant legs, or they think they want more "me" time for themselves...in the blink of an eye, their child is walking out the door to a party, a concert, a dance...what will that child remember to do if there is trouble?<br /><br />I am so sorry that this has happened to this family. It's a terrible way to have to remember his life...I am sure that is why you think of his life before...when there was still time and someone might have made a difference. <br /><br />I will celebrate his life by thanking you for opening up to all of us and reminding us that being tough, being involved, and asking questions IS the right thing to do. love and hugs..ZinniaA - Zinnia Productionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150474225284313681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097661384245669101.post-17691650574326351412009-10-28T12:16:24.677-07:002009-10-28T12:16:24.677-07:00Marsha, it is a beautiful tribute...we've had ...Marsha, it is a beautiful tribute...we've had the misfortune of losing young people that we've loved and cared about, and it's always tragic...I think it's wonderful that you choose to celebrate his last day of life. thank you for sharing.

An 8 year long battle where we were constantly accused of snooping, invading her privacy, butting in to her life...<br /><br />As hard as it is, get into your kids or siblings life, reach out, be a constant in their lives...be a positive role model, get in their face and let them know how dangerous drugs are. My sister started with Marijuana...it increased to alcohol abuse and then meth. She was a stick figure towards the end, the cops labled her as 50/50 (crazy), and we received one last warning to get her under control or they'd find a way to lock her up.<br /><br />8 years of hell...but we finally managed to convince her to seek help in a month long detox (she couldn't leave the location). ...and by convince I mean my mom kept driving while we kept calling, begging her to get help, reminding her of her positives, anything and everything we could bring up to un-harden her heart and see that she was killing herself...my mom would've driven until she ran out of gas as a last ditch effort to get her in those doors.<br /><br />$5,000 lost to that program, but none of us care...she's alive and going on her 4th year of being sober (thank god!!!).<br /><br />So I feel for you, your family, and the family of the lost life. I'm sure his memories will live on as he watches from above.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00947586335637330488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097661384245669101.post-28420216748318751262009-10-27T07:38:42.806-07:002009-10-27T07:38:42.806-07:00Thank you for using your blog to speak out about s...Thank you for using your blog to speak out about something so tragic.

My brokn heart goes out to you, your family and your friends who have become part of your extended family. Every parent needs a reality check now and then, and I thank you for that reminder. I hope Lauren is on her way to recovery from this terrible flu. You must be exhausted, emotionally and physically. Remember to take care of yourself too.
