having a hard day

Just a little update. Brand is now at my mom's house. He is having a really hard time he says he can't live without his Buddy. I am aching right now just thinking of that little guy and all the smiles he brought into my home when he was last here. I miss you sooo much Gage! we love you and think of you daily and the wonderful things you brought to our lives. You had the biggest heart and was always so excited to come stay at my house and to be with Ryker and PayPay. we love you sooo much and will always remember you for the sweet boy you were. You touched so many lives and I will always remember our last visit to the red rocks when you were here and how much fun we all had. I see you every time i Close my eyes.

here is just a little poem I had given to Brandon. we love you Brand hang in there.


A TRIBUTE TO GAGE

No words I write could ever say
How sad and empty I feel today.
The Angels came for you
Much sooner than I planned.
I'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And i'll try my best to understand.
Gage why did you have to go away
why wasn't it right for you to stay.
In my heart Gage will always be
I love him dearly and I know he'll watch over me.
What I'm suffering seems so unfair
But one thing is for certain
My love for him will always be there.
Gage my son you always will be
the most important part of my hearts memory
I'll cherish the moments I held you in my arms
And i'm sure that if you had of stayed longer
You would have graced me with your charms
a thousand words won't bring you back
I know because i've tried
Neither will a thousand tears
I know because i've cried
Now you're up in Heaven
with the angels up above
They will take my place for now
and they'll give you all their love
so go and rest in peace now
my little boy so dear
for all my love and memories
i will hold forever near.


Brand that poem is for you. I love you guys so much! remember he is watching over you now. and will always be there. Ryker said the other day that Gage was looking down from heaven laughing because Payten was being silly. I was so cute my 5 year old boy know that he is there watching over at us and he knows that we he will get to play with him again. We love you sooo much Buddy! Keep watching over your dad mom and baby gentry they all need to feel your love.

TRAGIC ACCIDENT

So some of you may not know, on Fathers Day we had a family accident. My brother and his sweet Family were traveling to Sandy to my grandma's house and they were driving down Provo canyon and got in a horrible car accident on Provo Canyon. the other driver came over the white line and hit them head on. Brand was knocked unconscious. Some people that were passing by stopped and got the car took 7 month old Gentry out of her car seat wrapped her in a blanket and got her warm then showed her to Jill so she knew she was okay. they then realized something was wrong with 4 year old Gage, they then pulled him out of his car seat laid him down and started CPR. The EMT's came and took Gentry and Jill the Heber Valley Hospital. they then started working on Gage. Brandon woke up seen them working on Gage and then pulled his phone out called my dad and said I need you i got in a wrecked they are working on Gage. I'm in Provo Canyon and the phone went dead. they then took Gage to Heber Valley Hospital and Life flighted Brand to Utah Valley Hopsital. then they decided he needed to go to the University of Utah so life flighted him there. they also life flighted jill there because of there serious injuries. after lots and lots of test they decide Gentry was perfectly fine and my Aunt Melissa went to pick her up. This is the time I got the horrible phone call that our sweet precious little boy Gage did not make it. we were driving at the time and boy was that the longest trip ever. They took brand into surgery first he had bleeding on his brain and they had to remove part of his small intestines. then they had to pine his leg altogether to hold it in place. then they took Jill in. she crushed some fingers in her right hand and did something to her shoulder and left elbow. she also shattered her right ankle and her left knee cap. they went in and fixed her foot and hand. then they came out and spent the night in the ICU the next day they were taken out of the ICU and they were both alert and my dad and mom had to tell them about there sweet boy. the next day the took brand and jill back in for surgery. Brand shattered his femor and his tibia. so they went in and put a rod and pins in his whole leg. they then went in and fixed jills knee cap. brand was put back in the ICU, because of his oxygen level. they then spend a few more days in the hospital. they are currently in a rehab/ nursing home. jill will be there for about 2 months because she hurt both legs and a arm so she can't walk or even use a walker. Brand is there for we are hoping like 10 more days. They are both recoverying very well. Brand is able to get up and use a walker. he still can't put any weight on his leg. we had the funeral on Friday. it was such a great service. Thanks so much to all those who have showed there love and support for the family. we love you all and appreciate it very much! They are doing a lunch fundraise in salt lake city at the law enforcement office on Thursday July 7th at 11 to 1. it is 6 dollars a person and there will be an auction all the money will be going to brand and JIll to help pay for medical bills and just regular bills and funeral costs. There is also an account set up at Mount America Credit Union under Gage Memorial Fund. to help them pay for all that they need. Brand and JIll will prob be out of work for a year because of injuries. Thanks so much again everyone!!
