Gizzmo Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Cancer is so limited: It cannot cripple Love. It cannot shatter Hope. It cannot corrode Faith. It cannot eat away Peace. It cannot destroy Confidence. It cannot kill Friendship. It cannot shut out Memories. It cannot silence Courage. It cannot invade the Soul. It cannot reduce Eternal Life. It cannot quench the Spirit. It cannot lessen the power of the Resurrection. There will never be another Scotty! Dad Link to post Share on other sites

Emily Erwin Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Still praying for you and your family. I lost my dad to cancer 3 years ago and it's still hard to deal with it at times. God has been faithful to me. My dad was a believer and I know I'll see him again some day, as you will your Scotty. Time does help to make the pain smoother.....it will get better.

DebThornburg Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. I knew your family when Scotty was about four living in Powder Springs. I had worked with Sharon and would come over and visit with her sometimes. Scotty really was a beautiful boy even at that age, just a doll. I do have two children of my own now and can't imagine the pain that you two still feel to this day. I send you my blessings and love and will keep you in my prayers.

westpauldinglady Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I had the pleasure of knowing Scotty when he was in school with my daughter Tiffany, who has also gone to be with the Lord. Please know that you are both in my thoughts & prayers as it has been almost 8 years for me ( October 25, 1999) and I still miss her so much, you never really get over it, you learn to accept the different live that you have been given. I once took care of a lady and when I got to her house on a given day she was very sad and I ask her why was she so sad and she replied, 52 years ago today I lost my little girl and she told me that the hurt was just as real that day as 52 years ago, so when people will tell me it will get better, I will tell them that lady was still grieving after 52 years and it is only with the help of the Good Lord above that I survive from day to day without my baby girl. Scotty was such a sweet boy and I know that Tiffany was happy as she was there to help welcome one of her friends home. I know that one sweet day we will get to see them again and I can hardly wait, again please know that you are both in my thoughts and prayers. If you every need me to help in anyway as I am a little further down the road of grieving, I am only a phone call away. Link to post Share on other sites
swd63 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Please pray for me and my wife. It's been 17 1/2 month since Scotty left us. We just recently went to the grave with some friend and celebrated what would have been Scotty's 27th birthday. It is still extermley hard to survive without my son. It is only by GOD'S grace that I am able to go each day. I never knew anything could hurt this much. Still missing Scotty DAD Link to post Share on other sites

Littlevoice Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I hope I don't sound like a broken record but I really want to tell you what a very wise man once said to me about how he looked at losing someone. He said that he believed that we all have a reason for being on this earth and when we have completed the task then it is time to go because at that point then we are too good to be here. It made sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites

MafiaChick Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I don't know if you guys will remember me, but I helped with Scotty's last 2 surgeries I think it was. I came to see him after the last one while he was in the hospital and even then he wasn't giving up. He was a strong young man and my heart hurts for you guys. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Link to post Share on other sites

kitzi hall Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 God Heals Remember when you heard the words - and your mind went blank - you were in another world God heals Remember in your darkest hours - when all that surrounds you is pain and sorrow God heals Remember friends' prayers - your family's encouragement - glimmers of hope from everyday angels God heals Quiet...you can hear Him now - always there - yet never this close God heals It's just another day - yet everything has changed - and you hear yourself say God heals Birds are singing - the sky is a beautiful blue - flowers are blooming... God heals Truths that you knew as a child - awakened again with new understanding God heals Remember when others can't - that life is a gift - each day to treasure God Has Healed For some reason it's hard coming on here...I try to not face the fact that Scotty is gone.I know its wrong to have anger...But it builds up and builds up to where I think I'm gonna lose it..I know we'er not to ask WHY....But how can we not..I for one would like to know..WHY...WHY...WHY did he have to go..Why give him to us just to take away..Some days are better than others.Some days are worse than others.AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WORSE......SORRYYYYY....

kitzi hall Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) Okay...So....The last post...Let me clear up...I feel ten times better.Please dont misunderstand my missing Scotty as a way to keep it going or whatever...Some may not understand what it's like to have someone who could melt your heart with his silly words,are to know God put an angel on earth,or to hold their hand as they look at you not able to speak from the cancer,but you know just what he is saying,how the nurses see in your eyes that the terms of visiting hours dont aply to you,how their passing turns your world upside down,or why your husband gets up and walks out of the room just because the thought of Scotty makes you burst into tears.My husband will say.I'm so afraid that if I let out what it is I'm feeling,then I've lost him for good,so let me hold on to the anger,the tears,the good times.Cause if I do,then I want lose him. But it will get better as time goes.I still have hope in that... Still Missing Scotty.... Edited May 19, 2008 by doll Link to post Share on other sites

SeaShell Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Again, prayers for you. I do know how you feel in a lot of ways. Yesterday I found a "gift" ~ I was looking through pictures I had copied from my Son's computer and I found some new ones I hadn't noticed before. Best of all, I found some video clips of him in Iraq. It was SO good to hear his voice. Yes, it aches so badly and I just don't understand WHY. I'm not sure I ever will. I am able to be more engaged (in life, people,) now and for longer periods than when it was all "fresh." I know that it is something that I will learn to live with, but something I will never get over. Comfort and Peace to you, Lisa BTW: That was funny about the boogie dancing.
