Request for thoughts and prayers.

I know that I have not posted much on the site lately, but today I come to you all to ask for prayers and thoughts. Our 18 month old child passed away yesterday Oct. 23, 2012. He went to sleep on the evening of the 22nd and passed sometime during the night. We had no warning as he had only a slight fever and no reason to think of anything otherwise. My wife awoke to find him the next morning, and as I was at work I recieved that emergency call that all parents in emergency services fear, the call to your home address. I know that things will get better over time but right now we could use all the prayers we can get. We have a wonderful family and freind base surrounding us right now but we could use all the love we can get. Thank You all and God Bless.

Thank you all. Last night we touched our baby for the last time. We showered him with kisses and tears. The services were more than we could have ever asked for and the outpouring of support both from our friends and family as well as those of you here has been overwhelming. We have great memories as we, the ones that are left her on this earth, begin our healing process. I just take solice in the fact that he will not ever feel any pain, nor have to ever go through anything remotely like this ever. My father in law has said it the best so far as he has said " I hope that when it is my time to go, that I would have made as much of an impact on this world in my 50 years as this little boy has done in his short 18 months." Once again I would like to thank each an every one of you for your prayers and support we love you all. Robert Burton and Family

I assume the photo you are using as an avitar is of your boy. Won't it be wonderful, when it is your time to go, that one of the first people to greet you at the gate will be that beautiful boy? Again,God bless.

Wow, as a sympathetic father of a 1 year old I can't even begin to offer enough condolences. Rest assured that my extended family and local church family will be praying for you in this difficult time.
