In memory of
Dylan Michael Moon
January 3, 2008 - September 16, 2013
All of our lives have been touched by sorrow at one time or another, but it is especially hard when we lose a child. Dylan is my sister's five year old grandson. Dylan was a happy guy with eyes that sparkled and a great big smile. He contacted a very rare strain of meningitis that took him less than eight hours after the first symptom.
When I thought of those who visit here, I knew that if I shared this, you would pray for Dylan's family. I know prayer can be powerful and comforting.
Would you do something else for me? Would you give an extra hug or kiss or a simple "I love you" to your children, your grandchildren or any of your loved ones. Times like this remind us just how fragile life is.
Thank you and sending my love to you.
This is so sad I just can't comprehend what they are going through right now....I will be praying for the entire family as they try to deal with this tragedy....
ReplyDeletethis is so devastating, so sorry for the loss to you family. have just prayed for your all of you.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, no words can convey the sorrow this family and your family must be going through. I am so sorry Cathy.
ReplyDeleteOh, Cathy! Such a shock and so very sad. Sending hugs and prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh Cathy, that is so sad. I will definitely keep his family in my prayers. Thankfully I will be seeing Mallory in a couple days and I will definitely be giving her a big hug. I learned that life is way too precious after her car accident in Jan. 2012.
ReplyDeleteI saw the brightly colored picture and thought, 'how happy!'
ReplyDeleteAnd then I read.
Many Prayers to all, including the Great Aunt.
Take good care of each other.
Cathy, sending prayers and love.
ReplyDeleteCathy, My heart breaks for your family. I cannot imagine such a tragedy. Life is indeed unpredictable.
ReplyDeleteI work with such sorrow as this every day and your heart breaks every time as you try to be a healing presence. There are no words, no trite sayings, no balm that makes at better when everything is so raw. Just know I'm holding you and the family up in prayer in the days to come. "The life you have left is a gift. Do what matters most...now." Please be gentle with yourself at this time.
ReplyDeleteAll my thoughts go to little Dylan's family at this time of great sadness.
ReplyDeleteOh Cathy, I'm so sorry. What a terrible tragedy. You and your family are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteUnimaginable heartbreak. You and your family are in my thoughts. I will definitely give my grandson an extra hug or two this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cathy for asking prayers from your friends. I think they are a special group. I want to say thank you for posting on your blog today. I just can't do mine. Love Judith
ReplyDeleteOh, Cathy, what a heartbreaking loss. I am so, so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of his family.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sorry to hear this news. I've been gone for a few days and missed seeing this. Of course prayers will be said for your family. Losing a child is never easy and so suddenly like this is even harder to understand. I pray right now for peace and comfort for the family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this Cathy, it just breaks my heart! I will absolutely keep them in my prayers and you too!
ReplyDeleteI have read this several times and have been unable to type through my tears. This is so special and comforting to me. I'm so glad you were able to be with us on those first few days. I am still crying as I type but I wanted you to know how much this means to me.
