Thanks for that Marc.  Right now it still doesn't feel real.

Darren, I'm so sorry to hear about Owen. I haven't been on here lately and when I had logged on I didn't see any updates about his condition. I just kept hoping for the best.  I dreaded seeing what I know now.   Again. I'm so sorry to hear about Darren.  Although I have sadness and tears, it is nothing compared to what you and your family are going through.

When my son was young, about 3 or 4 years old, there were times when I was faced with the fact that one day we could lose him or I could come home and he wouldn't be around because of his medical condition. 

All we can do is be thankful for the time that we are blessed with our kids and our loved ones.  Any day that goes by is a blessing.  Our hearts are warmed by the loving memories of those who brought happiness to our lives.  Think back to all the wonderful memories of Owen and cherish them forever.

I logged on today and saw this beautiful little boy on the main page, I saw the mopar shirt and said to my self that's cool, That is going to be my little man when he grows up, then i looked closer and saw that he really looks like my boy. Then I knew it was Owen and my heart sank. I have sat here for a long time trying to think of something to say but nothing can come out right now. Everyone here is here for one another dont forget that. I think everyone will always remember owen and his love and memory will grow through our children as i know i will never forget how fragile life can be. His memory will always be there for me to remind me to love more every day and make them #1 in our lives as tomorrow is a gift.  :angelwings:

Man o man, Burdar, I know there is nothing a stranger can say to you to make you feel the slightest bit better during this hard time.  I saw the car of the month tribute today and I was in tears, my son Logan is 6 months younger than Owen, and this tribute hit real close to home because we almost lost him right around his 2nd b-day.  My wife hassles me because I rarely show emotion in hard times, I feel like I need to be her rock, so needless to say she was a little alarmed when she say me crying staring at my laptop.  Such a cute little guy with a smile on his face.  I still can't look at his picture without the tears coming.  My hear goes out to you and your family, and I pray for strength for you in this time.  Your little mopar lover is in a better place and no longer in pain.  Even tho we have never met I can't help but feel connected.  I don't know what else I can say, except in love his little t-shirt, and as I'm sure many other members before me have said, if there is anything at all we can do to help you, in any way, please don't hesitate to ask.

I had to catch my breath when the main page came up and I saw Owen's picture and I read the sad news just now.

I am so very sorry for the loss of this beautiful little boy...I have two sons myself and I cannot imagine........

There is a tear in my eye right now for you and your family - but you should take heart a little in knowing that you and yours have a special little guardian angel watching over you from somewhere much better than this place.

If you need anything just ask.

My wife and I received this portrait in the mail last week.  Thanks Shelby!  This obviously took a long time to complete.  We have a place all picked out for it as soon as we find a proper frame.
