I wish I could say something or do something to take away your pain. I am the Community Director at the apartments your sister lives at in Haysville. You have a wonderful family to support you and be there for you. Family and friends will help you. I know because I lost my cousin in an accident two weeks before his high school graduation. His friend just got a motorcycle for his graduation gift everyone was taking it for a ride around the block. My cousin never made it around that block. Please know our hearts and prayers are with you.
Dear Shannon, I cannot imagine what you and your husband are going through at this moment. The loss of a child is not supposed to happen to us in this society. However, it does happen. Most of us believe that we are put here on earth to go through a trial and error process in order to attain everlasting life. Our goal as parents is to make saints of our children so we can all enjoy the presence of God together after we leave this earth. We watch our kids struggle with life’s issues and ultimately, the end is the same–they die when it is their time to do so. Luke will never have to know the pain of a broken heart, the physical pain of a lingering death, the many disappointments life dishes out to each and every one of us. He died doing what he loved to do, and not too many of us can say that. What a gift you and your husband gave to Luke, giving him the opportunity to pass from this life to the next having the fun he was having at the time. You can take some comfort in knowing that your little Luke is not only sitting at the right hand of God but he is sitting on His shoulders. I am already praying to you little St. Luke in hopes he will put a good word in for Molly. I am sure he is walking around with his Big Bro, Christ,exploring a whole new world and thinking I MADE IT to the ultimate reward. We admire you, Shannon, for the person you are and we know you will be alright. We love you. Pat Mabie
