A great read & good work by those who arranged this.

Gives you cold shivers, huh. The thought of losing a loved one is super tragic..but wow, a child...can you actually ever recover?

Don't honestly think I'm man enough to..straight up.

Love the look on the little one who is holding the biggest shoe that he has ever seen 🙂
