This is the post I never wanted to write. Not that I ever wanted to write most of them.
My heart is broken and my words are absent.
Harper is gone. A bright and shining light has departed this world, leaving us in darkness and illuminating heaven instead.
Words I never thought I could write.
Never.
Brian, Melissa, Cadence and Finn - our family is praying for your family as you have shared with us that Harper is no longer with us. No words can heal you. We pray that Harper will live on through all the lives she touched and will continue to touch through her story and you sharing her story. Our hearts break for you. We pray for your strength, your love and each step you must now take without Harper. We love you and will be here for you however we can.

ReplyDeleteBrian, our words to comfort you and your family are absent as well. Just know that your sweet, precious Harper will live on in the hearts and souls of those who watched your little girl fight this horrible disease with a bravery far beyond her years. May God grant all of you strength, love and courage in these most difficult days ahead. Helen Doyle
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Profound words escape me. Truly she was a gift. A sweet wonderful courageous gift from God.
ReplyDeleteBrian, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Harper was and will continue to be an inspiration to others. Brian L.
ReplyDeleteYour family is in my thoughts & prayers. She was a beautiful little lady. So sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI'm heartbroken. Libby told me the news and I've been sobbing, for your sweet angel and your family. You are all in my prayers. I wish I could do more. I'm so sorry. I hurt for you. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Harper will always be in my heart and soul.

Our family has shed many tears for all of you tonight. Harper was an amazing little girl. She had so much charisma! We have been praying for her nightly since her diagnosis. Cancer has touched our family also and it is so true that no one fights alone. Harper was such a fighter and that was because you fought so hard with her. Please know that your family has been such an example of pure love. This community loves you and we will continue to pray for all of you. Your loss is unimaginable, but the grace you have shown is inspirational. Love to all of you, Beth, Dennis, Bayden, Cort, and Eliza Watson
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for you loss. You don't know me, but I am a friend/former grad school classmate of Christine Esterman's and I saw her post, which led me here. There are not words that anyone can say that can help during this time, except, perhaps, I understand. That is because I lost my little girl of 19 mos. earlier this year. This is the worst loss and pain any one person can ever suffer. Do what you need to in each moment in order to get by. Others may not understand it, but that doesn't matter, you need to do what's right for you at that time. Of course, you don't want to hear that others have gone through the pain of losing a child, but when you do, it can help you to know that you're not alone and there are others who have had to deal with grief and living with it and without their beloved child. I don't know if you're local to Kannapolis/Rowan County of NC, but if you are, there's an amazing bereavement group for parents who have lost children called Circle of Hope. It has really helped me deal with the loss of my little Ruby. There are parents who have lost children of all ages. Here's the website: http://www.michaelyangfound.org/ I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that you're not alone.

ReplyDeleteI am so terribly sorry to hear this news. I am praying for you and your family and all of my love is being sent your way. She was such a fighter and this is a terrible loss for all. My heart is breaking for you all. ~Maria Reed
ReplyDeletePraying for your family.
ReplyDeleteOur words are insufficient. Our heartache doesn't begin to compare to yours. Love and comfort to your family.
ReplyDeletePrayers and hugs to your family. Harper's beautiful spirit will always live on through everyone she met. Such a sweet little angel.
ReplyDeleteTonight, Mia shared with me her memories of Harper. I am sorry for your loss.

My heart breaks for your family & I pray that you all feel comforted & surrounded by love as you mourn the loss of your sweet Harper.
ReplyDeleteBrian, I've thought about Harper all this day. There are no words to make this better, but try to take comfort in the knowledge that your family shared more love with Harper in the few years you had her than many families share in a long lifetime. Love to you.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, Brian. It is never easy to let a child go. We call people who have lost their parents orphans, wives or husbands who lost their spouses widows/widower, but there is nothing to call a parent who has lost a child. For it is nothing but unbearable pain for them. I wish you well.

I have being on blog Sites for a while now and today I felt like I should share my story because I was a victim too. I had HIV for 6 years and i never thought I would ever get a cure I had and this made it impossible for me to get married to the man I was supposed to get married to even after 2 years of relationship he broke up with me when he finds out I was HIV positive. So I got to know about Dr. Itua on Blog Site who treated someone and the person shared a story of how she got a cured and let her contact details, I contacted Dr. Itua and he actually confirmed it and I decided to give a try too and use his herbal medicine that was how my burden ended completely. My son will be 2 soon and I am grateful to God and thankful to his medicine too.Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Disease…Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
