Very sorry for your sad loss. No parent should experience this loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

I am very sorry for your loss.

 

DHart,
Please accept condolences from my family and I. Elijah was undoubtedly a brave and honorable man. You should be proud of him and his accomplishments in spite of the pain you are feeling now. God bless you and your family.

Yep............I got this thing I do whenever I get dressed out to ride.......Yeah, I zip on my chaps and strap on my helmet, but I also dig up my Dad and my dead Brother and place one over each of my shoulders.

There, they serve as both witness and guardian for me. My Dad whispers cautions in my ear(he rode a '39 HD), and my Brother simply goes along for the ride and yells in excitement whenever I survive my extremes. I try to accomodate them both. I make sure to ride safe and let Dad experience what my new Harleys are all about, and I also take a few risks to satisfy my Brother.

I take Dad to work with me where he keeps me straight and honest like he was. Sometimes he speaks for me in a level and patient fashion when I can't do so myself. I take my Brother to lunch and treat him to special tastes he couldn't afford because he struggled so hard to raise his 4 kids and never had a spare penny to spend on himself.

My point is........We never really lose those most dear to us......They are still there and they respond to us when we reach for them........And we respond to them too whenever we allow them to haunt us.

My friend, trust me. Your Son is still there. He is only invisible to those who never knew and loved him. He's watching you now and waiting for you on the other side............Ride your scoot and take him along.....Go fishing and take him along.......Share jokes with him.........Cuddle his child for him......Forgive his wife for him. .....And simply keep doing like you always did because you are still his Dad and he still needs to see you like that.

 

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you, and may Elijah rest in peace.

 

So sorry for your loss. Our prayers will be with you and your family.

 

My prayers go out to you and your family. There aren't any words to convey the anguish I felt as I read your post. It is the brave men and women of our Armed Forces and their familes that protect the freedom we all enjoy. Thank you and your son for your service!

 

Prayers sent for you and your family...

 

My condolences to you and your family. The loss of a child, no matter what age or circumstance, is a terrible thing for any parent.
May the Lord give you the strength and courage you will need in facing the coming days.

 

My condolences to you and the family. Semper Fidelis Specialist Elijah Rao.
