“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go”

I’ve been asked many times....

“ Steve how do you handle being around so many who are grieving?”

I’ve never really answered that question til now.

I handle it by storing each parents emotional story into my heart and my memory and then on a day..Out Of The Blue like today....

Every parents emotional story of their child who is no longer here Gathers Up in the corners of my eyes along with that lump in my throat and in that hollow part of my chest UNTIL ...

It finally busts wide open and unexpectedly tears start flowing like a river from my eyes.

And then I close it up all inside of me knowing that any day it will Start again.

I know that there is nothing that I or anyone else can say to a parent that’s lost their precious child and in some cases children that will make them feel better

But.....

I have learned that just being there and letting each parent know that I genuinely care gives them a little comfort just as it does when any of their friends or even a complete stranger lets them know that they too care.

One of the hardest lessons in Life

Is Letting Go

We Fight To Hang On

We Fight To Let Go

I’ve learned I can’t...LET GO

TO EVERY PARENT WHO HAS LOST A CHILD

I PRAY THAT YOU EMBRACE THE
ANGEL OF HOPE AT WESTGATE PARK

IT TRULY IS BEAUTIFUL AND ITS FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILD

I LOVE YOU ALL
❤️❤️🙏

There are many more children I wish I could have included in the photos but space on here was not available
