Sweet Paul has returned to our Heavenly Father today. We are grateful for all your support and prayers. Tagen and Eric wanted me to tell you that they have been inspired by all your kind words. I feel deeply blessed by having Paul as my nephew, and I can't wait to meet him again!

You don't know me, but I want you to know that you have more people thinking about you and praying for you than you realize. Our family has gone through some similar situations, and I just want to say "Hang in there." There will be good days and bad days, and some days that the pain will be unbearable, but you can get through it and you can grow and become stronger. Your little Paul will be pulling for you on the other side, let his strength now help you as he let your strength help him for his brief moments here.
ReplyDeleteDear Tagen,
ReplyDeleteMy heart is full. I don't if you remember me...my name is Cami Bowman "White" now. Anyway you may know about my sister Tristen taking her life April 11 of 2008. I cannot imagine what your going through but too a point a now my parents can. I know that the grieving process is very important. Let the tears come and don't hold back. As we still are grieving for the loss of my little sister and miss her everyday it is faith in our Lord Jesus Christ that helps us along the way. Also remember that there is help if you may need it. That is why god created Dr's, of all kinds. Sometimes the pain is so deep you don't feel like you can breathe and it feels so unfair. We've been praying for you guys since last week when I found out the news through my parents from the Bain family. Stay strong it's a long and hard battle you are about to face, once you've think the hardest part is done and gone you are hit again with feelings that are so unbearable. I don't want to scare you I just want you too know that you are not alone. I've always loved the Parker Family you are wonderful, wonderful people. You will continue to be in my prayer. Love Cami Bowman "White"
Dear Eric & Tagen:
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear of the death of your new son. It is times like these that helps us appreciate the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. To know that there is a life after this and that you will be able to raise your son to maturity is a wonderful part of it. We hope knowing that many of your family and friends remembered you in their prayers, especially on this particular day. May the Lord bless and help you through this trying time in your lives. We miss you both and hope all goes well with you.

Dear Eric & Tagen,
ReplyDeleteThe Cheney's passed this blog address on to us this week and we cried yesterday reading about your beautiful baby boy. Almost a year ago we lost a baby niece. The Lord's tender-mercies and miracles attended all of us at that time. We are better people and a better family because of her valiant life. Since then we have often thought about and have been grateful for the amazing work these precious little ones are able to accomplish in such a short time, changing lives forever. Even just hearing Paul's story, our hearts broke and were turned toward eternal things. We can't imagine the many lives he has touched and blessed. Seeing your faith, courage and testimony, as his parents, has strengthened ours. We are thinking of you, praying for you and we send our love to you and your family.

Hi Eric and Tagen,
ReplyDeleteThis is your nurse Erin. I just wanted to apologzie for missing the graveside services today. I felt so bad, but I didn't wake up in time after my night shift. I also tried to stop by last night, but I think you might have been asleep already.
Anyway, thank you again for your wonderful examples and allowing me to be a part of your son's life. I have grown so much since meeting him.
My husband and I would love to get together with you guys when you are up for it. Just let us know.
Love Erin esairhead@Hotmail.com
Our prayers and thoughts are with you, dear Tagen! We love you!
ReplyDeleteTagen, I just wanted to let you know that you are in my heart and pray. You and your husband are amazing people and you have already taught me a lot from your beautiful words that you speak about you and your sweat little boy. What a sweat little boy he is that he had to come just for a short while and touch so many people lives. You are such an amazing person and I feel for you in your time of need. My sister lost her little boy at four months and I know that there are going to be many ups and downs but know that you are loved and that your story has touched so many people. Again we love you and your in our prayers! Jodie and Chris Phelps
ReplyDeleteHi Tagen & Eric, Matt and I are so sorry to also hear about your son Paul. He was such a beautiful child. We never wish for this to happen to anyone. And when it does happen to someone you know it really effects us all. Matt and I also are heart broken to have just read about him. Our thoughts and Prayers will always be with You and your Family! Love Heather Moosman Hamilton & Matt Hamilton.
ReplyDeleteDear Tagen and Eric,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this tragic news and I'm so sorry that I heard it for the first time today....my prayers have never failed to be with you, but I have gotten caught up in my life this past week and didn't hear about sweet Paul's death until today.
I just read the two most recent posts on here and I'm so blown away by your strength and faith. Finding and knowing the purpose of Paul's life (of which you have found and shared) is the strength that brings you through this and just the fact that you have even thought about how his life has and will continue to strengthen others faith is so wonderful and you are right! Just knowing about Paul and not even the chance to meet him, I have been strengthened....I am reminded of the great eternal plan of our Heavenly Father and how I need to have the eternal perspective always. I get caught up in my life and many times despairing over my trials and not allowing myself to be humble and submit my will to Heavenly Father so that I will learn His will for me.
Thank you so much for sharing this story with all of us, for taking the time to share your strength and growth through such a painful experience. You all inspire me to be a better person and to live my life as my Heavenly Father would want me to live.
I'm so glad to know you. I love you.
Tagen, I am so sorry for what you have and I'm sure are still going through. I wish I could have came and wrapped my arms around you and gave you a big hug! You and Eric seem to be so strong and your faith and love for Heavenly Father is an example to all of us. I can't imagine going through what you have, I don't think I am that strong. Your beautiful sweet baby Paul has touched so many lives in such a short time it is remarkable. He is so lucky to be able to be apart of a wonderful eternal family with parents like you. I am so thankful we know that this is not the end of our journey and there is so much more to our life beyond this one, that families are together Forever. Your family is an inspiration that I hope we can all remember to be better and remember what matters most in this life. You and your family are continually in my prayers. I pray the comfort you have stays with you and you will continue to feel your Saviors love for you. If I can ever help in any way I would love to do it. Lots of Love, Cami (Bodrero) Schow

Eric and Tagen,
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you. I was so sad to hear of your loss. Keep your faith. Many people are thinking of you and praying for you.
Eric & Tagen-
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have been a nurse for years and had to see a lot of hard things. It was harder to hear of a friend having to endure such a trial. I admire your strength! I don't think I could ever be strong enough. I am however grateful for the gospel and the peace that can come from the knowledge we have. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Tagen and Eric,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your son Paul. I know that there are no words to make the pain go away but you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Your strength and courage is admirable. I wish I could give you a hug right now but know that I am sending one through the computer. Love you guys
