My newphew is dead My nephew was painting a tower today (Sunday) and fell off and was killed. I found out at 12:30, just as I was going to bed. I went immediately to my sister, Judy's, and BIL's house. All the time I was hoping this was a terrible nightmare. When I got there, there were 2 policemen and a clergy that had come to give them the news. Judy is in Chicago for a calligraphy convention. She just left Saturday and was to be gone until the 30th. Now she will be flying home today and I can't stand it that she is away from family when she finds out her son is dead. He was alone when he fell and it happened sometime between 1 and 6. Rich was always my favorite...my little Richie. Even when he grew up, I always thought of him as my little Richie. I can't stand knowing he is gone and I will not get to see him again here on earth. He just emailed me a picture he took of himself on the tower about a week ago. My gosh...I just can't stand this...I love him so much! Please pray for Rich's family. He is with my Mom and Dad now, but we all are here without them. |
Here is the picture he sent me... Never mind...I can't get the picture to upload for some reason. |
Oh I am SO SORRY!!!! Sending lots of hugs and prayers! |

Thank you, everyone. I just talked to Judy and she should be on a plane now and should get home by 10:15 AM, if she doesn't miss her connection in Mpls. Please say a prayer that she makes her connection...it's only a half hour between flights. I just can't believe he's gone. OMGosh. I miss him already. My little Richie. |

I know words can not ease the pain in your life right now. Loss is something I know very well... remember to celebrate his life not just mourn his passing. I\'d like to share a poem with you that has helped me many times when losing a loved one. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I do not die. Mary Frye |
