2talltim Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) My youngest turned 9 yesterday and it couldn't have been a worse day for him. It staryed great i brought him home doughnuts and choco milk for breakfast as per his request, and i gave him his present before school(a starscream transformer that he's ben wanting)I bought some cup cakes to take to school to share with his class, and off he went. About a hour and a half later the phone rings, it's his teacher saying "First of all tyler is fine there is nothing wrong with him, but he is very upset and crying because one of his class made died last night". I'm like WHAT? It turns out that one of his buddies passed away in thier sleep last night and his parents found him in the morning when the went to wake him for school. So i talked to my son and ask if he wanted to come home, and he manned up and said " no i want to stay here and cry with freinds"If that wasnt bad enough he ended up getting in a fight on the bus on the ways home because someone made a rude remark about his freind dying and my son sticking up for his freinds honor started a pushing match from what i understood. I talked to the driver he has had a really bad day and im sure emotions were high, he agreed and all is forgotten. Anyway the kids name was Robert Gallogly he was a 3rd grader at Fredericktown Primary(no word on cause of death)..please keep him and his family in your prayers and my son too if you would he is having a really hard time with this,,Thanks for listeningUpdate: here is the full obituary .... http://www.snyderfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/obit_view.phtml?id=11721 Edited March 3, 2012 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Z. Heimer Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 May the Angels from Heaven come down and comfort the parents and family of that little Man. Fear not for him as he is in great hands. The parents are whom need all the love and support than can be offered. Now is not the worst time for them but when everyone goes away. You have a wise little one Tim. He is gonna be okay. How does one get thru it? I lost a daughter 10 years ago.It does not get better it just gets a little easier. I'm not looking for any response ... You just never know people. Hugem and lovem as much as you can. Much love and prayers to the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
