Dear Tom and Missy, I am so very saddened to learn that Dylan was called to heaven just days after he came to you. It is not fair..or in anyway comprehendible. Tom, I donA¢??t know you well. I am only a A¢??regularA¢?A at your Starbucks, but I too was blessed with weekly and monthly updates as your family prepared for your son. I saw the joy in your heart swell over the last 10 months. Dylan will always be with you and I firmly believe that you will see him again. Tia said it best yesterday when she told me how precious your 8 days were. How you got to know your son, introducing him to music, love and the beauty in this world. You made a lifetime of memories, many happy memories. May they bring you comfort in your most difficult moments. I canA¢??t imagine what today, tomorrow or even the coming year will be for your family. Please know that IA¢??ve sent prayer requests out to every praying friend I have. Strangers are thinking and praying and wishing for your pain to be eased in some small way. I have a few friends who have lost children. There is a national support group called A¢??Compassionate FriendsA¢?A that may interest you at some point. You and your family will be in my prayers.
