Shining star... / Mommy
“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
You are the shining star that helps keep me focused on path that I must walk. So many times I want to just give up and give in and you are there to help me see. Sometimes the pain can be blinding and I fear I will not be able to go on but you are there to remind me that I have a grander purpose. I do not understand my role in this world at times and why I was chosen to guard you during your time on this earth but I am humbled and sometimes afraid of the task that lays ahead of me. I feel so unworthy but I am trying every day to live up to the charge that has been given to me and passed to me through you.
You are the shining star that lights my path. My heart and my arms ache for you every day. Close
Life around dates / Mommy
June 14th would have been your 4th birthday.. what would you have wanted, what flavor cake and ice cream do you like, what is your favorite color
August 13th is when I stood alone in my bedroom while the doctor told me that you had a terminal disease... there is no cure
September 9th you came home so we could be a complete family
September 11th you were dedicated by Rev. Edmunson
September 22nd you were back home
September 29th you were back at Scottish Rite for a sinus infection
October 5th, on your nana's birthday and St. Francis of Assisi (patron saint of not dying alone) , you were baptized
October 6th I held you in my arms as you took your last breaths
My life recently has been about dates. How long until that one? How long since the one before? Three and a half months of my life is dates. This year has been harder than the last three. My heart has been heavy and aching. I have no one close that understand or that I can talk to. Your father just 'doesn't want to think about it. Blaine is hurting too and doesn't want to talk about it and I don't want to burden him. Your grandma tries to understand but she didn't have the same connection and she is not much comfort. Keegan asks about you and if anyone can make you better and if you are going to wake up. Aeryn sees your picture and after only one time being told your name she knows who you are.
I want to enjoy your memory with joy in my heart but this year is hard, this year is sad. This year I feel so alone. Close
We all miss you / Mom
As I watch your brothers and sister grow I always am reminded of the hole that is left in our hearts. You would be three and I constantly wonder what you would be like right now. What would your favorite story, song, color...all the little things. Life is in the little things. I miss you just as much today as I did the day you left. Although there is healing there will always be a scar that will never go away.

Brave little soul / Allison Harris (Passerby)
The Brave Little Soul By: John Alessi
Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen; why is there suffering in the world?" God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in people's hearts." The little soul was confused. "What do you mean," he asked. God replied, "Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone." The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people's hearts much like the sun and the rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this - it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer - to unlock this love - to create this miracle for the good of all humanity."
Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied. "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into the world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people's hearts! I want to create that miracle!" God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you". God and the brave soul shared a smile, and then embraced.
In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed." Thus at that moment the brave little soul was born into the world, and through his suffering and God's strength, he unlocked the goodness and love in people's hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys, some regained lost faith - many came back to God. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased. Close

Oh what a gorgeous wee boy...I think as a family you must all be so proud of your son. He gave up his own life to save 2 peoples lives .This is a very brave and amazing thing to do. The question of WHY you are probably still asking like myself but at this moment in time we will never really know but maybe things do happen for a reason as everyone keeps saying..The 6th of October is a very singificant day for you all as with myself as that is my birthday and i will always keep him in my mind. xxxx Close
Happy Birthday Sweet Prince / Mommy
I think of you everyday but it is days like this that are the hardest. Tomrrow would have been your 2nd birthday and in my mind I wonder what kind of cake you would have liked, what your favorite cartoon character you would have wanted, and I try to imagine you with ice cream all over your face...
My heart aches for you and my soul has a hole that will never be filled. You are my youngest prince and will all miss you deeply.

Dear Dyana and Family:
My heart goes out to you especially this year. I know how hard it is to lose a child and no matter how long it has been the pain doesn't go away. My precious son Tylor Ryan passed away in June of 2002 from a mito disease and he was our only child so I know what it feels like to lose a child. The pain and the grief hasn't gotten any better for me but I am learning to cope. I spent the 6 1/2 years of Tylor's life taking care of him. He didn't spend a whole lot of time in the hospital in that time which is good on one hand but on the other it doesn't make losing him any easier. My hope for you is that you just remember all the good times you had with Connor for he wouldn't want you to be sad all the time but I know that's easier said than done believe me I've been there myself. I know our children are watching over us.
Take Care of yourself and know that Connor was very lucky to have you and his brothers in his life even if for a short time. He'll never be forgotten.
Precious baby/ Laurie Montalvo (none)
When your parent dies You've lost your past But when your child dies You've lost your future.
Missing Him May you always walk in sunshine, And Gods love around you flow, For the happiness you gave me, Noone will ever know. It broke my heart to lose you, But you did not go alone. A part of me went with you The day God called you home.
Condolences/ Keith Martin (N/A)
I saw the link to this page from a yahoo post (my screen name is zzacktoons). What a beautiful child. My sincere condolences. I have had a similar experience in my life, and I truly sympathize with the family of Conor. I pray God continues to be with this obviously loving family. Close

I know you don't know me personally, but I am also a mom of a daugter with Mito. Your son is so beautiful and precious, what a nice memorial you have. Connor was lucky to have such a nice family, I'm sure he is deeply missed. Carrie Close
Precious Angel/ Ann Eide ((A Mom with mito))
Connor was so blessed to have caring parents and family members surrounding him with love. It is so difficult to understand why lives are so short like precious Connor's. We continue to pray each day for a cure for Mitondrial Disease. Our thoughts are with you.
