I had ideas of posting pictures of our Star Trek Christmas Tree today. I even had them all edited and ready to go. But a child died yesterday and now my tree seems so insignificant. Instead, a whole lot of Shellie’s friends and supporters lit a candle today to remember little Bryson, and this will be my Wednesday post.
I gathered my boys around our table and explained to them what happened. The twins didn’t really “get it.” They are young. But Anthony started asking questions. “Why and How?” As best I could I explained what happened. He was sad for the little boy he would never know. He said a little prayer; “I’m sorry Bryson had to die, but I hope he is having fun with Jesus. Amen”
I don’t usually have a linky for Wordless Wednesday’s, but if you have a special post for Shellie and Bryson, then please link up. This is a community linky and you can blog hop and everyone (should) have the same links.
Beautiful post!
I am sure Bryson is having fun with Jesus. Too soon, but he is in good hands.

I spoke to my oldest about it too (he’s five) .
That brought tears to my eyes to read that he said he hopes he’s having fun with Jesus. Leave it to kids to put it in a different perspective. Beautiful.

Leave it to a child to put it in perspective. Thoughts and prayers are with Shellie.
What a beautiful prayer from your son
Your son is so right – I bet Bryson is having a lot of fun with Jesus! Thank you very much for sharing that adorable prayer. It is so moving
Your photo just breaks my heart Rhea. Those are special little guys you have there.
I can’t imaging what Shellie is going through. My heart aches for her.
I lit a candle as well and talked to my teens who said that they personally would be saying a prayer for the mother and this young boy
so sweet for your boy to have prayed for Bryson!
Yes, a loss of this magnitude makes our everyday trials and triumphs seem insignificant. It’s unfathomable.
Such sweet boys you have, love the photo!
My heart goes out to Shellie’s family
What beautiful words from Mr. A…he might test your sanity sometimes but he’s an angel in disguise.
God bless the Ross family.
