"It's not too hard for Jared"

Bradley wanted help changing a transformer toy into a car (something I have tried but simply cannot do) as I started to tell Bradley that I just couldn't do it Bradley spoke over me and said, "Is it too hard for you?"

"Yes, it is too hard for me." I said. Then I started to suggest to wait for Dad's help when he gets home and Bradley spoke again before I could finish and said,"It's too hard for Dad too."

Then he paused and said, "It's not too hard for Jared."

We miss Jared everyday. There are little reminders everywhere for which I am so glad. We continue to try and keep the eternal perspective of life at the foremost of our thoughts and the way we live. How we miss our brother and son so very, very much.

  6. Jaime and Andrew,

    Knowing of your incredible loss, our hearts are drawn out full in sorrow, yet we know that peace that passeth all understanding is with you. The Lord and His goodness will continue to be with you.

    We know, as parents, we can do more for our little ones. We can show more love, we can share more time, we can practice more patience, we can appreciate more, we can keep more goals to return together as an eternal family. Jared is an inspiration, he is our super hero.

    We love you,

    Daniel and Kelly
