When I began planning for the blog, I never dreamed of the details of our lives it would contain.  My goal was to record a period of our lives, both good and bad.  To give the boys a living record of the day to day events that made up our life.  I knew we'd have highs and lows.

Never in my life did I think that for the second time, I would be blogging about the loss of a friend and classmate of the boys.  And this one hits a little closer to home.  The similarities with the boys is frightening.  And as a parent, I simply can't imagine the pain and loss for the family.

As of this moment, Brayden has passed on and is in a much better place.  The Class of 2015 will have an angel looking down on them as the deal with the loss, regain their momentum and carry on a legacy that he began.

Please hug your little ones, your big ones...all of your loved ones.  Don't take a single second for granted.  Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone.
