And when I found him he directed me to your blog about your sweet baby Gavin. When I read that he had passed my heart broke and ached for you as his mother, but also for my friend Andre. Let him know that if there was something that I could say that would help I would say it, or do it... but there is nothing. Nothing but knowing that there are people out there who love and care about you and your family and feel for the grief and loss that you are enduring. <BR/>Love, RachelRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516299945990322929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166982895186934378.post-39100218904974722462009-03-24T11:34:00.000-07:002009-03-24T11:34:00.000-07:00Mindy,Yes!

Barrett has been the "Strong One", and yet, he too lost his daughter. So many times our man is looked over during his pain, and we are the ones that people pay attention to. <BR/><BR/>Love you!Barrett, Melinda, Angel Trinity, and Baby Zanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832807653858262419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166982895186934378.post-72229418777080262852009-03-13T13:59:00.000-07:002009-03-13T13:59:00.000-07:00I don't know how you guys are doing it.

I wish our society was not so expectant of men to be strong like a stone. How then do they heal? In quiet moments to themselves? That's really sad. I can't imagine going through losing a child and not feeling free to grieve whenever, wherever.
