Dearest Kirk,

Today is the 8th anniversary of your death and life has moved on.
As you can see you are not forgotten. This year you would have turned 25 on
June 11th. We celebrated your birthday and you were remembered.
A lot has happened in the last 10 months. We hope that you greeted a
friend in October, Rebecca, and that you are both watching over everyone.
We think of her everyday along with you. We think of her family and her
brother and sisters as they head down this path. We know it is not an easy
path to follow, but faith has helped.
Your sister got married this summer to a wonderful guy. We know that
you were there with us. Your best friends and Ryan's sister stood up with
them. It was a beautiful wedding. Through this marriage we now have a
beautiful new step-grandson Chase, who we cherish. Your cousin Heather also
got married and they remembered you in their wedding too. This was the
summer of marriages, as we attended three beautiful wedding of friends of
the family and will end the summer with another wedding of two people that
knew you well. I know you have been with us through all of these special
occasions.
Time keeps marching on, but you are with us every day. You have been
missed, but we know you are in a good place. The tears still come,
especially on days like today. Please continue to watch over us.
We love you, mom (Butterflies are free:-)

I'm not sure how you have coped so long or how you go on so strong. My son Danny was killed a car crash January 20 2006 and it seems to get harder everyday. I have two other boys and I feel like I am not being a good mother to them, becouse all I do is cry. Everyone keeps saying it will get better. But I just can't see that happening any time soon. I also lost my father in November 14,2005. Sometimes I think god is picking on me. I writing this in hopes that someday I can get to the point that you seem to be at. Malinda

I sit here after reading your memorial to Kirk and
don't know what to say. My heart goes out to you
because I know the pain you have endured for five
years. I lost my son two months ago and I can't
imagine five years from now. The threads that you
have created for all of us are so helpful. I am so
sorry for your loss.

Thank you for sharing your world of pain and sorrow. I just read your loving memorial of Kirk Matthew Balthhazor. Reading Kirk's memorial and your comments from time to time makes me feel connected to someone. I don't feel connected to anything not even my husband since my son Chris left us last October. I'm going to join the Choir with the hopes that a spark will ignite inside me and quinch my thirst for my son. My son Chris and I had a mother/son relationship made in Heaven. I'm hoping that what my faith is trying to teach me pans out in the end. I haven't really bought the even story yet but believe that we do turn to dust/particles. If not heaven then maybe when I turn to dust my particles will join up with my son's and we will live happily ever after.

Mr. Balthazor, I'm following your example by returning to the choir if not for me then for my fellow Catholics. Your story about the play was the impetus that I so desperately needed to get passed my self-imposed islation. Isolation is not me. I love people, places, things and music, much like my son did. Anyway, thanks again. I'll be singing to your family when we perform on Sunday, August 28th atf 10:00 a.m. pacific time.

Five years is a long time- I think of the years to come and how difficult it is to go on without our children, while the reat of the world continues, changes, new stuff all the time. Jim- you do a great job on the message board- thanks. So sorry for your loss. Blessings to you and your family.

For some reason that I do not know, you have been in my thoughts and dreams . For some reason this year has been one of the hardest. I keep reliving that night in my mind and asking why? Life does go on and I am starting to go on with my life, but you are always missing. I keep waiting for you to come back through that front door, but I know that that will never happen. That will have to wait until I walk through the door where you are. Five years have gone by, but our love for you has never ceased. You will always be in my heart, and the heart of your family. Yes, at 12:35 a.m. today a very vital part of my heart was torn away. Your spirit will never die in my heart. love mom
