William

The town feels heavy. I don't know if that makes any sense, but that is what it feels like. I think our small town will be changed for awhile after this. I consider myself a fairly emotional person, meaning that I cry pretty easily. Its something I try not to do, but at a certain point you just have to accept it and let it happen. But this, this has brought it to a new level. In my head I was hoping that yesterday's funeral--which was the most hardest, horrible, saddest one I have ever been to--would give me some sort of closure and let me stop thinking about it so much. But it hasn't. Ryan & I just sit and talk about what Dale & Stephanie must be feeling, but how can we know? We just take what we are both feeling and multiply that by a million. There is so much I want to say, but nothing seems right. William was 2 1/2 yrs old. That is so unfair. As Brendan cried, "He's only a little baby! He's Joshie's age! He was supposed to grow up to be a little boy!" I guess that says it all...........

We wish Williams family peace and hope they find some comfort. They are facing the nightmare all parents never want to see.

Sometimes you will never find the answer to "why"- All life is bigger than we can ever begin to understand. I wish the family and the whole town comfort in this time of sorrow.
