I don't know why God makes it so difficult to change a boy into a man. He was a very sweet boy trying to make his way through. I saw him last Tuesday at dinner. On the way home to his mother's house we spoke briefly about how important it is to make correct choices. We only get one chance with the life we are given and if he could just make though this weirdness that is thirteen years old he would be fine. It takes some time but God does a fine job of making men out of boys. I dropped him off with his brother and The last I saw of him was a glimpse in the rear view mirror. I will never forget that "I love you Dad" were the last words I heard from him.
My dear sweet son Ian has died. Peacefully they say in his sleep. I am Heartbroken. I don't know what else to do at the moment. Prayers please if you don't mind. I'll miss my Ian.
