I love this cute little buddy. I miss him so much. It's with so much sadness that I share our loss of him at this time. He slipped and fell to his death during a hiking accident on Friday afternoon. My heart is way too full at this time to share much more. But we have experienced so much love and support through family and friends. Thank heavens for the gospel and Priesthood blessings too. There is so much to do now to prepare for a funeral and burial. A mother shouldn't have to bury a child. My daughter Kali has a beautiful way with words and shares some very tender emotions and feelings about her little brother. If you want to read more please visit her blog.

Ohhh Susette... we sure love you guys! We're still crying about it over here and sending all the love, hope, prayers, wishes and good thoughts that we possibly can. We are SOOO lucky to know he's ok now, aren't we?!? Now it's just about making sure you guys are ok. You and Kali are amazing examples and we love you. We're here, SUPER CLOSE, if you need anything. SERIOUSLY! Love you lots! *HUGS*
ReplyDeleteOh Susette. Sweet Friend. Crying along with you, and sending my prayers! Love you!
ReplyDeleteNO! Oh hon, I am so, so, so sorry! I cannot begin to imagine the sorrow- what a handsome, wonderful young man.
ReplyDeleteKnow this, when you NEED to 'talk', write, cry- you can spill whatever you need to here. The happy, sad, anger, ugly- ALL of it. We will be here, reading, doing the best we can to hold you up through the unimaginable.
My Aunt has suffered through losing one of her 16 year twins in a hiking accident a few years ago. It is not something any Mom should EVER experience. Oh, I just don't know what to say except we're here. We care.
Oh my gosh...I am so sorry. I can't even imagine. My heart is so heavy for you. I pray that peace will be with you. Oh my gosh. How shocking! Oh Susette. I'm praying for you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this Susette. Please know you and your family are in my prayers, and I hope you can feel of our Heavenly Father's love for you at this time.

ReplyDeleteI am friends with Kali, we went to Jr. High and part of High School together. I read her blog and I thought I would come over to your blog and tell you how sorry I am for you and your family. Like so many others I will be praying for you guys. I hope you can feel the love of our Heavenly Father at this time in your life.

I just want you to know I love you all, you're all in our thoughts and prayers, he certainly was a wonderful and handsome young man! He will truly be missed! I'm so grateful for Eternal Families!
ReplyDeleteI read Kali's blog, and my heart is broken for you and your family. Here is a poem I hope you find comforting, even just a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI'll lend you for a little time
a Child of Mine, He said,
For you to love the while he lives
and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back,
take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down here,
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
in search of teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd Life's lane
I have decided You.
Now will you give him all your love
nor think the labor vain
And hate Me when I come to call
to take him back again?
I fancy that I heard them say
Dear Lord, Thy Will be done.
For all the joy this child will bring
the risk of grief we'll run,
We'll shelter him with tenderness
we'll love him while we may
And for the Happiness we've known
forever grateful stay.
And should the angels call for him
much sooner than we planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that came
and try to understand.
We are so sorry for your loss, May your memories of Porter bring you comfort and keep him close in heart... You are in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh Susette. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteSusette,
ReplyDeleteI am so, so so sorry. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I am so sorry.
Hi Susette,
ReplyDeleteI don't even know you but I heard about what happened and my heart breaks for you and your family. I have you in my prayers.

Susette I am soooo sorry to hear this news. My whole heart aches for you and your family. What a tragedy to go through. I'm sure you are numb and just going through the motions. All that is required to prepare takes so much energy and effort in such a short amount of time. May God bless you and your family during this difficult trial. Please know that my thoughts, love, prayers, and fasting will be for you and your family. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteI am so shocked. I just can't believe it. I wish there was something that I could say or do, as mothers we love our kids SO much. As I am writing this, I too am crying. I am so sorry. I wish there was something more I could do. I know that you will be comforted during this but that doesn't change things. You will be in my prayers and thoughts. Even though I don't know you too much, I feel like we have connected because of so many things in our lives. Thanks for being my friend and I will be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteSuzette,
ReplyDeleteMy mother's heart is breaking for you as I read this. I'm so sorry for this sudden loss in your family, your sweet son. Please know I will be thinking of you with a prayer in my heart always.
((hugs))

Oh my goodness Susette!!! I'm just bawling my eyes out and my heart is breaking for you. I'm so sorry and am just so impressed and amazed by your courage and faith. I don't have words but just know I'm praying for you and your family!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I am so sorry. I will be praying for you. I am sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I pray that Heavenly Father will comfort you and your family during this time. Hang in there. You have family and friends (and bloggers) around you who love you.
ReplyDeleteSusette, I am so sorry for your much too early loss. He was clearly a tremendous young man.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking and praying for you and your family.
Susette,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say that will will lift your heavy heart. My prayer is that you will feel the arms of your Savior carrying you during this most difficult trial. He lives, and I know assuredly that Porter will again as well.
We all love, we are all praying for you and we are all here when you need us.

I'm so sorry to hear about this, Susette. I have admired you from a distance and commented occasionally for a couple of years now. It saddens me to think of how hard this is for you. I lost my sweet father at a young age; but I can't imagine how much worse this is for you. If there is anything I can do to help, though I am mostly a stranger, please don't hesitate to ask. I will pray for your comfort.
ReplyDeleteI just can't imagine the heartbreak, I'm so sorry for your loss. What a handsome young man he is. I am thinking of and praying for you. Many hugs.
ReplyDeleteSusette, I am so, so sorry for you loss. I pray that you and your family may be at peace and be comforted at this time.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Dear Susette,
ReplyDeleteIt has been some time since I have visited your blog. As life has been so busy I have not had much time to blog like I use to. Today out of the blue, I thought of you. I quickly came home to find that some how I had lost the link to your blog. Magically I was able to find it again. I am so sorry to read about your lost. My heart goes out to you and your family at this time. I will keep you in my prayers. May Heavenly Father heal your tender broken heart.
