Sending You All My Love  / Laura Brandon' Mom (Mom)
My Dear Angel as I prepare to honor your life next month I reminisce on how blessed I was to have you for a gift if only for a short time. I look at your pictures with your loving smile and I still can't believe you are not here with us. I try to remember the sound of your voice the softness of your touch and the love in your eyes when you looked at me. I miss you so much and long to wrap my arms around you. You were such a loving funny little guy. So brave never complaining. Always giving of yourself. I still and wonder how different life would be if you were still here with us. I try to imagine you as a teenager. I see your friends everyday and wonder who would be your best buddy now who you would have a crush on if you would still like wresting and extreme sports if you would try to tell me a joke and never get it out because you were laughing so hard. Oh how much I miss you and how much the world has missed not to have you here. There was so much I wanted for you. So much I wanted you to see & do. You accomplished so much in such a short amount of time and touched so many lifes. I thought I would have you here with me forever. I do get your signs. In the beginning I was so deep in my grief that I didn't welcome your messages. I welcome them now and look forward to them in any form you send them. I will never come to terms with you having to leave us so soon but I will always remember and cheerish the time we had. You were my little shadow. I couldn't turn around without you being there right underneath me. We were so much alike. You were my little twin. Oh Brandon how I wish you were here and well. I always remember how excited you were when I would return back to your hospital room. You big smile your gentle hug and all that love you were just waiting to give me. I love Brandon and I know that we will be together again. Sending you all my love....Mom Close

"I Lost My Child Today"  / Laur Times (Brandon's Mom )

I Lost My Child Today

I lost my child today.
People came to weep and cry
As I just sat and stared dry eyed.
They struggled to find words to say
To try and make the pain go away
I walked the floor in disbelief
I lost my child today.

I lost my child last month.
Most of the people went away
Some still call and some still stay.
I wait to wake up from this dream.
This can't be real. I want to scream.
Yet everything is locked inside
God help me I want to die.
I lost my child last month.

I lost my child last year.
Now people who had came have gone.
I sit and struggle all day long
To bear the pain so deep inside.
And now my friends just question Why?
Why does this mother not move on?
Just sits and sings the same old song.
Good heavens it has been so long.
I lost my child last year.

Time has not moved on for me.
The numbness it has disappeared.
My eyes have now cried many tears.
I see the look upon your face
"She must move on and leave this place."
Yet I am trapped right here in time.
The songs the same as is the rhyme
I lost my child.......Today.

Sending you my love  / Laura Times (Mom)

My Dear Brandon,

It doesn't get any easier as time passes to come to your site.  The pain of not having you hear with us pierces right through my heart. There's not a day that I don't try to imagine how different life would be if you were still here with us.  We all miss you so much. Your brothers speak of you often. In everything I do, I look for signs that you are somewhere near.  Please give Grandpa and all the others that live with you in heaven a big hug from me. I look forward to the day when we are all reunited at our Blue Bayou.  I love you baby...Mom

How Deeply You're Connected to My Soul  / Laura Times (Brandon's Mom )

 

My Dear Brandon,

I love you so much. How I wish you were here with us. It's hard to believe that you are now 12. I sit and imagine how you would look and what things you would be into. How unfair that our lives together were cut so short. I dream of the day when we will all be together soon.  Give grandpa a kiss for me.  Love you, Mom

"How could anyone ever tell you you were anything less than beautiful… how could anyone ever tell you you were less than whole… how could anyone fail to notice that your loving is a miracle… how deeply you're connected to my soul…"

Thinking of you..  / Teresa Holbrook (friend)
Brandon I was thinking of you today. Jacob went to see Dr. Kronish for the last time for a checkup, before Dr Kronish moves to Boston.  I know as a mom some of what your family has been through. We honor you on your birthday and have sweet memories of you. I pray that your family knows that you are with God and you are smiling down on them. Happy Birthday! Close

Thinking of you, Laura  / Susan Sadler (Day-By-Day)
Wow, what a beautiful, amazing boy Brandon was (or is, as I believe he exists whole and happy, waiting for you in heaven). Sometimes in my grief over my son Zach, I forget that others are suffering as I am, that anyone could have loved their son as much as I love Zach. Clearly, you love Brandon that way. I wonder if since we are tied on Earth, our children are tied in Heaven. Zach was 16, but Brandon looks like the kind of kid he would have really liked. Close

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY, BRANDON!  / Beth Anne (Forever In Our Hearts After Leukemia Support Group )
Laura and Justin...I hope that you feel Brandon at your side, as you are facing his upcoming birthday. I pray that you feel some sort of peace, in knowing that he is amongst other loved angels...just like him.

You, and your precious Brandon, are deep within my heart, thoughts and prayers.

With shared hearts and lots of hugs,

Merry Christmas my Beautiful Son  / Laura (Brandon's Mom )
My Dear Brandon, There is not a moment that goes by that I don't think of you. Hey Ya came on the radio today and all I could think about was you and your brother's in Hawaii for your MakeAWish. I never thought that would be out last vacation together. I miss you so much and wonder quite often what it's like for you in heaven. I am trying so hard to get past remembering all of your suffering and think of the good times only.  I love you so much and wish everyday you were here with us.  Give Grandpa a big hug and kiss from all of us and also for yourself. Merry X-mas baby.  Love.............Mom Close

I Love You  / Laura Times (Mom)

My Dear Brandon,

I miss you so much.  Tomorrow marks the 5th anniversary of your relapse.  We were so hopeful that you would do well. Why did we have to lose the battle I will never understand. I just want to hug and kiss you and feel you near me.  I think of you day and night. I can't wait until I'm with you again. Loving you always.....Mom

Brandon we wish we met you  / Patricia &. Jeff Randrianalijafy (Laura & Edward's friends )
Dear Laura
We moved a  lot each other, and we lost touch with you... for many years we were in search  of you and your family,  we always hoped to meet  you some day  in States or in France...
Finally, we find you in memorial site... we've just heard of your terrible loss of your child and all our family , we  hasten  to offer you and all your family  our sincerest sympathies in your great bereavement.
At such a time it seems in vain to express one's feelings because these are altogether too overwhelming...
This world is a valley of sorrows and you can derive some comfort from the fact that your dearest son, Brandon, is happy in Heaven and he 's still remaining in your heart for ever...
You may derive a tiny grain of solace and strebght by knowing that these are your friends all over the world who share your profoundest feelings of sorrow.
Believe me, all of us here are deeply grived.
We keep all your pictures, Brandon is  a so beautiful boy whith a great smile , hope his smile is remaining shining into your life all days long, at every moment of your life...
We join you in prayers to God to give Brandon a beautiful place in Heaven , and tranquility to his parents, his brothers and his family...
Love .      Close

I Lost My Child Today  / Laura Times (Brandon's Mom )
I lost my child today



Written by Netta Wilson, Cara,s mum

I lost my child today.
People came to weep and cry,
as I just sat and stared, dry eyed.
They struggled to find words to say
to try and make the pain go away.
I walked the floor in disbelief,
I lost my child today.

I lost my child last month.
Most of the people went away,
some still call and some still stay.
I wait to wake up from this dream.
"This can't be real," I want to scream.
Yet everything is locked inside.
God help me, I want to die.
I lost my child last month.

I lost my child last year.
Now people who had came, have gone.
I sit and struggle all day long
to bear the pain so deep inside.
And now my friends just question, "Why?"
"Why does this mother not move on?
Just sits and sings the same old song.
Good heavens, it has been so long."
I lost my child last year.

Time has not moved on for me.
The numbness, it has disappeared.
My eyes have now cried many tears.
I see the look upon your face
"You must move on and leave this place."
Yet I am trapped right here in time,
The song's the same, as is the rhyme.
I lost my child....... TODAY.......

Miss you baby  / Jennifer Smith
Brandon, 4 years ago you left us to be in heaven.  Everyday, I miss your smile.  I ache knowing that you and Jackson were robbed of a lifetime friendship.  You two had the beginning of something very special.  I find some peace knowing you are watching over him, protecting him.  Thank you for that, sweet boy.  I hope you and your Grandpa had a heck of a reunion! I miss you and I love you so much.  Jackson sends his love too.  I hope you are doing everything you ever wanted up there.  All our love. Close
