Missing You  / Laura Brandon's Mom (Mom)
My Dear Brandon,

There is not a moment that passes that I don't think of you.  I miss you so.  I read an old newpaper article about you yesterday.  I had forgotten about a joke you made that they had mentioned in the article.  It was a nice memory.  Oh Branodn, I wish we would have had more time together here in this world.  How unfair that you were taken so soon.  I can't wait until I'm with you again.  I love you baby. Mom Close

Living off the Pile  / Edward Times (Father)
Hi Brandon, 
I miss you so much.  I feel you in so many things we do today.   Our ( yours and mine) lives together was so brief.  I wish so many experiences we had together  could be relived in slow motion.  I try this in my mind sometimes.  Like sand through my fingers, briefly there and gone too soon.  I have to touch you with just the love and few memories I have.  Sometimes I discover a new memory and I replay it over and over, then place it in my small treasure pile.  My heart swells when I see pictures of you.   I am so proud of you and love you so much.  Unfortunately, It still breaks, too.  Living off the pile.     Love, Your Dad Close

Surprise / Laura Times (Brandon's Mom )
My Dear Brandon,

A couple of weeks ago I took two disposable cameras in for development.  I thought they were cameras I gave your brother's to use.  To my surprise when I picked up the pictures, your picture was the very first picture in the package.  I was shocked.  You took a picture of yourself while we were visiting the local amusement park 3 years ago.  Each picture told a story.  I believe you were trying to tell me that you were still with me and show me the things you are doing in heaven.  Thank you so much for the precious gift of your love.  Love, Mom Close

Happy Mothers Day  / Veronica Partridge

HAPPY MOTHER’S

DAY

 

To My Dearest Mother

By Veronica Partridge

 

Happy Mother’s Day from up above,

I’m sending this to you with all of my love.

I wish I could be there on this your special day.

But, know that I think of you each and every day.

 

Although the distance between us seems so great at times,

Remember, I’m always with you, just a step behind.

I’m the gentlest of breezes you feel on your face.

I’m the warm sunny morning you wake with such grace.

 

Don’t be sad today I know you miss me so.

Keep the happy thoughts and memories in your heart aglow.

Don’t think of me as gone, only just out of sight.

And know that I’m happy and safe as you go to sleep at night.

 

It won’t be long till we’re together again.

God doesn’t lie Mom, trust in Him till then.

So, when you arrive I’ll be waiting for you,

For we have so much catching up to do.

 

Enjoy your day the best you can,

Remembering just how much I love you again and again.

I’m sending you all my ((hugs)) and XXkissesXX

Along with all the very warmest of wishes.

 

With love always,

Your precious one

I Miss You Brandon  / Laura Times (Brandon's Mom )
Hi Brandon! Your cousins, aunt and uncle came and visited yesterday.  We are blew up balloons and wrote notes to you on them.  We also lit candles in your memory.  We all love and miss you Brandon.  Today Devin called out Justin's name and it sounded almost like you.  Brandon, I prya that you are resting in peace in heaven.  I hope that all who have gone before you are with you until I can be with you.  I feel as though you are an orphan in heaven with not having a Mom there with you.  I know that Auntie Jo is taking care of you until we can be together.  May you rest in peace my beautiful son..........Mom Close

I LOVE YOU  / Laura Brandon's Mom
My Dear Brandon, today i pulled out a pair a pants that you use to wear on your lp days.  I remembered how they were a little big for you.  Now, they seem so small.  I smelled them to see if I could catch your scent.  It's been two years since your death.  For me it's as if if happened today.  I still alone sometimes and remember how yo use to say momma.  If only I could call you and hear your voice.  If only I could reach out and touch your face.  I look at your pictures and I can't believe your gone.  I feel so alone without you.  I look forward to the day that we will meet again, never to part.  I love you baby............Mom Close

Happy Easter Brandon!  / Ashley's Mom (Sue)

Let every man and woman count himself immortal.  Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection.  Let him say not merely, "Christ is risen," but "I shall rise."

Happy Easter Brandon.

I Love You  / Laura Times (Brandon's Mom )

Spring has Sprung  / Ashley's Mom (Sue) (Angel Friend )

Brandon, here is a flower or two, for you!  Send down your love to your mother, she needs you. Close

springtime / Erin
I read about Brandon through MAVIN [I have been involved with MatchMaker] and wanted to find out more about his life... after seeing these photos I am so sad to think he's gone on before us-- I can see what a joy he was to your family and so many others. While I know words cannot ease the pain of your loss I do pray that you will truly experience God's supernatural comfort. Seeing how Brandon has inspired you to help others who are suffering, I see new meaning to the following scripture: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." [1 Corinthians 1:3-5] As I see the new life of spring around us this season-- so close to the day Brandon came into the world-- I pray that new life will blossom in the midst of this loss and will give you hope.

I Know  / Laura Times (Brandon's Mom )
My Dear Brandon, I read this poem a Mom wrote in a Compassionate Friends magazine today and I thought of you.  I love you........Mom

"I Know"

Written by:  Bonnie L. Sobbry In Loving Memory of Her Son William L. Huff

"I know that his pain has passed
except for how it lives in my memory

I know that denying sadness denies healing

I know that I may never resolve
all the issues surrounding his death

I know I may hear his voice and see him
in the shadows

I know the remedies for grief are time,
courage, and love

I know that grieving takes
just as long as it takes--it is a process
                  and
it may never truly end,
but it will always change

These things I know--I just wish I didn't!" Close

I Love You  / Laura Brandon's Mom
My Dear Brandon, It has been exactly 2 years since you left this place we call earth.  It seems like only yesterday you were here in my arms.  Your brothers and I wrote messages and drew pictures on balloons and set them free in the park today.  We miss you soooo.  Life is so difficult without you here.  I can't wait until I can be with you in heaven.

Loving you always,

Mom Close

Fear Not for I Will See You Again  / Veronica Partridge (angel mom to zach )

Life is never static nor left to its own design.
Change is all around us we see it all the time.
The ones we love my fade from sight but only for awhile.
For one day we will meet them once again and meet them with a smile.
The miles put between us will seem not so far away when we enter into God's kingdom and for eternity we'll stay.
God's ways are not ours but our faith in Him must remain for how could we have the beauty of a flower without a little rain.
The storms of life we encounter may feel unbearable at best.
But, when we are together again it's then we'll know how truly we are blessed.
God knows how many tears we shed, how much our hearts are broken.
But with His love and promises made no truer words are spoken.
He tells us not to worry. He tells us believe in Him.
He knows the pain of losing a son, His died for our sins.
From foreign to familiar, all things to become revealed.
No strife, no pain, no sickness, nor unhappiness we'll feel
This the day God calls us home to be with our beloved once again.

Your Always on My Mind  / Laura, Brandon's Mom
My Dear Brandon,  My heart is always to heavy remembering what little time we shared together on this earth.  This was the weak you entered the bone marrow ward.  We were so hopeful.  I prayed so hard for God to grant us a miracle and make you well.  I miss you so much my Brandon.  I wish I were with you.  Love, Mom Close

I Did It!!!  / Laura, Brandon's Mom
Oh My Brandon---I idid it.  I graduated from medical school today.  To think that through losing you, I found a way to help others.  I would gladly trade it all in to have you hear with me. I know that you are smiling down on me, I feel your warmth.  Love--Mom Close
