I’ll miss you with a broken heart my son until I see you again.

With tears in my eyes, today with God’s help I will think about how you loved and took care of others, That you were trustworthy, honest, and committed, and how thankful I am that you loved Jesus and strived to know him better.

I miss hearing you say, “love you mamma” I love you Chaddieboy as much as any human can love.

This was a happy time for Chad. Graduation and then Orlando Disney World celebration.

Below are photos of he and his brothers and sister at Disney world. The other is of Chad and his high school sweetheart, and niece on the plane as we traveled to Disney World.

My true writing career began thirty some years ago while going through a valley, alone. I’ve come to believe that we all have a purpose in life, our path to walk.

Now that my middle son Chad Engstrom died on October 14, 2014, the rest of my life is not lived for myself, but to leave his legacy, not only because he was my son, but because of his beautiful soul.

May God guide me…. For our earthly selves are far from perfect, but may we be perfect in His love.

HI Kathleen,

What a beautiful tribute to Chad. I wish there was some words I could think of to help you along but I know there is not. I am here and always will be. I think of you often and pray for you daily. Love you.

Dear Pat. I know if there were words to take away the pain you’d find them. But, to have your support does help in its own way. Much appreciated. Appreciate your prayers too. Love you
