Tigerdale,

As a father of a four year old daughter and three year old son I cannot even imagine how you are feeling. I am so very sorry for your loss. I am sending you my deepest and warmest Aloha from Hawaii.

In this thread and other threads it has been mentioned how we are family to each other. We collect different themes, types of equipment, teams, players, etc. Along the way, we have gathered under the universal game used umbrella that brought all of us together and led to looking after each other. Whatever the circumstances may be.

I wish you peace and tranquil in your time of need, Tigerdale.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

[joelsabi]

Tigerdale, tough to say anything comforting. Hang in there and be strong for your family. They need you.

[jppopma]

My prayers are also with you and your family. It's always tough to lose a loved one, even more when so young.

[camarokids]

Hey Dale,
Hang tough and stay strong. My prayers and thoughts for you and your family.

I am very sorry.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the well wishes, thoughts, prayers, emails, you all have been fantastic. For having met very few of you, I feel like I know so many of you so well. It by far has been the toughest month we have ever gone thru. We are still searching for how to live w/ such a loss, even today many times it still does not seem real. I do remember a post awhile back about weather to take a young person to a game.....by all means ...YES!! I took Wyatt in early August to his first Tiger game & I am so glad I did. I will have those memories forever & he enjoyed himself so much. I'm not the greatest person w/ words, but thank you all again, every thoughtful word does help. Here is a picture of Wyatt & myself at the tiger game August 3rd....

Dale, please contact me via email anytime. I am also off right now due to a medical problem. Are you in MI? If so, I'd love to meet you and have lunch sometime. Please drop me a line and we'll talk.

Never too young to go to a ballgame.

Dale, I have a 3 year old myself - and I can't fathom your loss. I'm crying for you brother.

[eisenreich8]

Dale,

Since I saw the picture you posted today, I have just not been the same. I think I stared at that photograph for almost an hour. I wish so bad that you and your family do not have to go through this.

My 15 year old son, nearly every day, points at himself, forms a heart with his fingers, then points at me. We are very close. I do not think I could go on if I was not able to see him do that again. Or a million other things.

I truly am profoundly moved by the picture and by your tragic circumstances. Wyatt was obviously a gem and he will always be with you.

If ever you are in North Carolina, or wherever we may be, our door is always open to you. Please just holler at me at dsl1983@hotmail.com.

I am also so glad that you took Wyatt to that Tigers game.

God bless.

Dale,

I am really sorry to hear of your loss. Stay strong and you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

hey dale,

stay strong buddy my prayers are with you and your family

[island_style]

Tigerdale,

Thank you so much for posting the photo of you and Wyatt at the Tigers game. It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but this picture goes beyond that. In addition to your fond memories of Wyatt, I'm so glad that you have this picture to remember the time that you spent with him at at the ballpark.

The look on Wyatt's face is priceless, as is the moment you shared with him on that day.

I wish you continued strength and courage.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

Dale,

Thank you for sharing the photo with Wyatt at the ballpark. Your loss has been in our thoughts and prayers and I'm glad we now had the priviledge of see Wyatt's photo. I've personally been spending more time with my children and making sure I say goodnight before sleeping and goodbye before I go to work and letting them know how much I love them. Life is so fragile and we can't take for granted that those who we love will always be there.

I can tell by Wyatt's expression that he was one boy who was truly loved and he knew it.

May God Bless and comfort You and your Family continously.
