24 years ago today I came into the house from the hay field for lunch, just as I walked into the kitchen Sue turned and her water broke. I showered and Mom and Dad and drove us the hour trip up the canyon to Jackson Hole. Dad had to go up for surgery and we check both of them into the hospital at the same time. After what seem hours of labor and breathing our first son was born. This after years of infertility treatments trying to get pregnant that the insurance wouldn't pay for.
3 years ago today we sat on a reservoir beach watching divers look for his body, probably the longest saddest day of my life.
Today Tenny and I rode back on the forest checking cows and riding thru aspen groves looking for his name and dates he had carved into the trees. Tonight after a family dinner we took the old yellow horse's tail that I buried a few weeks ago and we lifted Jody's head stone and placed in underneath it and leveled it back up. Trimmed up the flowers and cleaned up some grass so we can plant some more.

jodywy-- I feel for you- but know its nothing like the heartache you feel...You made me remember all the times I sat on a beach with a family in the same circumstances :cry: ....

All a guy can do is remember and thank God for all the good years you got with your son- even tho they were cut short.......
 
My heart sure goes out to you and your fine family Jody. May the good Lord send you comfort tonight and every night. You'll see you're son again and ride side by side through the ridges and meadows in a higher pasture. Be Blessed my friend!
 
i can't imagine what you have and are going through. as a father i can't think of anything worse than losing a child. my thoughts are with you.
 
Jody I am so sorry. There is no pain as losing a child. There is not a day you go without thinking of them. Wishing you could go back and change ..something.
Sending prayers of comfort to help during this time.
Thanks for sharing the pictures, I am sure the two are together enjoying Gods feilds.
 
There's nothing sadder than losing your child, even if it's you kid's spouse. But there's hope in the Lord you'll be with them again. I'm holding my grandson on my knee as I write this; he'll never know his Dad in this life. I'm sorry for your loss, too. God bless you and your family.
 
To all of ya'll who are feeling the pain of losing someone, my thoughts and prayers. Hope ya won't be offended if I tell you that you WILL see them again someday! I KNOW that! The good Lord has blessed my life with that knowledge and I just wanted to share it with ya'll. Don't mean to sound preachy. Life is merely part of his great plan for us. I hope we all can enjoy each day and never take folks around us for granted. I lost a cousin Yesterday mornin' who has been battling cancer for quite awhile. Heading south to his funeral Saturday. He was in his Early 50's and leaves a wife and three kids. But he is free from the pain and having a wonderful reunion as I type with a heavy heart. Just please know that the Lord watches out for each of us and is always there. I know I lean on him a bunch, especially on days like today. I hope all of ya can do the same from time to time. And I sure feel for you all!
