"To give my life beyond each death
From this deeper well of trust
To know that when there's nothing left
You will always have what you gave to love
In this life, the love you give becomes the only lasting treasure
And what you lose will be what you win
A well that echoes down too deep to measure
A silver coin rings down that well
You could never spend too much, a diamond echoes deeper still
And you'll always have what you gave to love,
You will always have what you gave to love"
- David Wilcox, "Deeper Still"
Sully flew home last night.

Peace to you all. Your chosen song is beautiful - and similar to one I use as an anchor, Kate Wolf's "Give yourself to love if love is what you're after." You all did indeed give your self to love with SUlly, and your song is right, what you truly love you never lose. Again, peace to you.
HEAVEN IS ENRICHED! OUR PRAYER ARE WITH YOU ALL. KATHY POSNER
Nothing can change the profound sorrow that you are experiencing with the loss of Sully. We have read your entire journal sharing your feelings and we have been richly blessed through your words. We feel as if we have been there in your presence each day and that we have come to know all of you and Sully. Your struggle and your honesty with your feelings will be of inspiration and comfort to everyone who has come to know Gods' love through your words. God has truly used Sully and his life as an example of how anyone can get through the deepest of valleys and still experience joy in the morning. He is in the very presence of God and all of the angels of Heaven and Sully now knows the full purpose of his short time here with you. He will be waiting and watching and looking for the day he can be with you again, just as you, also, look forward to that day. Please know that your story and your son will forever be remembered and shared as an example of a truly spiritual encounter with a living God who gives us the peace that no man can explain. We love you and we are sharing in your grief through tears and prayers from afar. We pray that God will enfold you in his arms and give you the ability to get through each day, one day at a time. We encourage you to take up the pen again, when the time is right, and continue to heal yourselves and others with your precious words.
Love and blessings to you,
Georgeann, David and Jayme Holland
I heard about your story and your blog through an old coworker of your mother in law's. I'm so sorry for your loss, words cannot express. Your story is both sad and beautiful. I was so drawn in by your words that I feel as if I know you in some way. I have laughed and cried reading your blog and have gained a new perspective on "having a bad day" as a stay at home mom to two girls. I look at them both and feel very fortunate to have the hardest yet most fulfilling job of my life. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate through this most difficult time. I hope you continue to blog.....you are a beautiful writer and I have looked foward to visiting your site daily and have shared it with many of my friends. I plan to donate to Sully's Playground....what a wonderful idea. God Bless!!!
I am so sorry and there are no perfect words that i can find myself to write. I will keep you in my prayers and that You feel our heavenly fathers arms holding all of you through... God bless each and every one of you. Thinking of you....
Heidi and Brad,
We want to send our heartfelt sympathies. Words seem so empty at a time like this. Our hearts ache with yours. I wish I could wrap my arms around you, and sob with you as you express your grief. Our prayers and thoughts are with you as you mourn Sully's passing and celebrate his tiny little life.
Jay and Martha
