OT - Life is short

Guys,

I'm on my way to a layout/viewing of my cousin's 5 year old boy. He died Thursday morning when he rode his bicycle into the bumper of his grandfather's pickup truck. Being a close farm family--- he lived next door--- I saw that boy almost every day and he was a joy to be around and full of wonder at how mechanical things worked. He was the closest thing I have to a nephew, so I took it as my duty to teach him some of the things a boy needs to know--- how to give a dutchrub, wet willies, and the like--- much to his mother's chagrin.

I don't post often, but I read the posts every day, and I'm always gratified and honored to be a part of this fine group of people. Please keep our family in your prayers.
Thanks,
Glenn (Farmboy856)
 
Oh goodness. I have a 5 year old son. I'll give him a special hug and keep your family in our prayers.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss and our prayers and thoughts are with you. I lost a very special friend when I was 6 or so at Ft. Knox, KY where my dad was in the US Army. We were playing in a sand pile with construction equipment toys when my mother called me for supper. A short time later Timmy had left with a group of older boys who went down the road a piece and were running around on what was left of an old house foundation which had filled with water. Timmy fell in or was pushed by someone and he fell in the water and drown stuck in the mud. That house foundation was drained and filled with soil the next day but one day too late for a very special childhood friend. I'm sure your cousin has friends who are morning his loss as well. Hope the friends and family get past this tragic event. God Bless, Hal.
 
With this and Hugh it has been a rough time here lately. I'm sorry for your loss. In the spirit of keeping his memory alive, what is a Dutchrub? I've never heard of that. (I certainly don"t mean to be disrespectful.)
 
I run on the local EMS team, and last week a good friends five year old lay helples on the floor, and thought to be gone when we arrived.

Within a few hrs I was at the coffee shope, listining to all us old peoples major problems in life, such as to many leaves to rake, and to much rain. It certianly makes us humble when faced with real problems.

I hope everyone can move on in their lives after a while, sadness is often a very large hill to climb, and often we all stumble while trying.

My deepest sympathy to all conected with the little one who has went on ahead to a better place.
 
Around here, we call it a Dutch rub when we put someone in a headlock and then vigorously rub the top of their head, pressing hard with a kuckle or two. I think some people call it a "noogie."

You have my deepest sympathy. The loss of a child is something you never get over. I know. You learn to live with it in time believing in Gods promise of everlasting life and knowing the boy is with his Heavenly Father. Take care and God bless. rw
 
I tell myself that everything happens for a reason and drive on in order to maintain what little bit of sanity I have. Sure hard to believe that in a situation like this. Gone is gone, just hope you and the family can take some comfort in the fact that he was taken without a lot of pain and suffering. Hold on to those memories and drive on.
