Doesn't matter the age, it doesn't make it hurt any less. I read the post to my family....and we're like oh man, we couldn't imagine that...we couldn't handle that.

Again...from our house to yours....our prayer for strength goes out to you and all of your family.

Thanks all, for your thoughts, he was a wonderful little boy. It's just one of those things you have to toss into the "damned shame" bucket and hope we can avoid seeing ever happen again. If you have a little one around a vehicle, please make sure you keep track of *exactly* where they are.

Oh Fuck Geekster. I'm so sorry about the loss of your grand-nephew. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Especially the boy's parents. I'll say prayers of you and them.

To Kole from his dad Ken:
Tiny Angel rest your wings

sit with me for awhile.

How I long to hold your hand,

And see your tender smile.

Tiny Angel, look at me,

I want this image clear....

That I will forget your precious face

Is my biggest fear.

Tiny Angel can you tell me,

Why you have gone away?

You weren't here for very long....

Why is it, you couldn't stay?

Tiny Angel shook his head,

"These things I do not know....

But I do know that you love me,

And that I love you so".
I won't be at BM this year, but this poem should be at the temple. It is fitting for any parent who has lost a child, isn't specific to just this one.

Actually, its ok. And the parents are really holding up well considering. They are concerned for their neighbor who was involved in the accident and it is as if the whole community (small town of maybe around 500 people or so) shares the loss.

From my aspect, it is mostly just being a parent and imagining such a thing happening to me and putting myself in their place. I really feel for them, but I did think the poem was pretty good for someone who maybe has never written one before in their life.

There is an australian film called Look Both Ways, about a train accident.

You might find it comforting, or possibly just disturbing.
Can't say, from your point of view.

It is very compelling though.

Two weeks ago, I heard via FB from a buddy I worked with late last year that he was heading to the Burn this year and wanted to join our camp. I was delighted and immediately called him up to chat with him about it. He had his ticket and was so very excited... he'd been reading up on all of it and already had his plans for meeting us in Reno.

The very next day, in my FB News Feed, I see a photo of him come up and the caption read: Tim, you will always be a part of our family. That just seemed weird, so I clicked onto his profile and sure enough, every post was a R.I.P. for this clever, brilliant young man (25), found dead at his stepfather's home that morning. Not a suicide, but... ya, you know.

I was completely blown away... having just spoken to him the day before. I will always remember how excited he was and so full of energy. It's still hard for me to believe he is gone. So very sad... FUCK.
A plan is what you vary from.

Destiny Lounge 3D will be at Bradbury and 3:15 this year as a part of the 404: Village Not Found group of camps! Come see us!
