We recently moved and today I hung some framed professional photos in our family room. They are scenic, in Colorado, and we thought they'd go with the paneled walls.

I didn't realize until I hung them up that two are from Bear Lake - I noticed that the last time I saw my nephew alive was on that same rock I see in the photo.

Joey died at 12 years of age, that was 6.5 years ago.

if I obsess about this I'll need to take them down.

the loss of a young child is terrible. no one knows that kind of pain unless they have been there. I do know firsthand. try to remember when you look at those photos what fun he had during that trip. maybe that can give you some peace when you look at them.

okay so I need to change my visual? When we were there, it was a family reunion in Estis Park on my husband's side...now that I think about that trip, or since that trip actually, my MIL passed, so did our very young nephew (accidentally got trapped in the trunk of a rental car), and my young BIL (cancer).

I've been recently diagnosed with OCD, and yeah, now that I think about it I have obsessed and obsessed about the events which took young Joey's life. His sister found him but too late, and I had to talk to our pediatrician to ask some facts.

So, any comments on changing pictures - Joey on that rock goofing with my kids, to Joey who thought he was a Houdini Unexpected trigger - he must have really thought he could get out, he got in there by way of the back seat of the rental car.

yes try to think of the adventrous boy in him. I am so glad now they have escape handles in cars. I am very sorry for all your losses but try to think of the good times with him and all the others. while it is hard to lose anyone it is especially hard with young children. senseless I think but God knows what he is doing. I lost my only granddaughter when she was 3 months old. I know she was very young and not alot of memories of her but the few we had I cherish daily.
