THEY MOVED 2 LANGELOTH NOT LONG AFTER OUR FAMILY, HE WAS THE YOUNGEST OF 3 BOYS 2 JANET. THEIR GR.MOYHER KNEW MY HUSBAND WHEN HE WAS YOUNG, THEY WERE IN SPORTS WITH MY 2 BOYS MANY TIMES CATCHING A RIDE FOR WRESTLING AN FOOTBALL PRACTICE. BRAD AND HIS BROTHER SHAWN WERE GOOD AT SPORTS. HE WAS POLITE, ALWAYS GAVE ME A HELPING HAND  AROUND THE HOUSE WHEN HE WAS HERE. HE WORKED WITH THE REEDY CREW CUTTING GRASS LIKE MOST THE YOUNG BOYS DID. HE STAYED OFTEN WITH HIS GR.MA.BUT, HIS LIFE WAS TAKEN 1 YEAR AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS OLDER BROTHER SHAWN NOV.5,2003 I THINK HE JUST COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM, THOSE 2 WERE INSEPERATABLE. WE ALL LOVED HIM:(

 WATCHING A CHILD GROW UP IN YOUR HOME, GIVING YOU A GLANCE OF WHAT MAY BE.  FROM SLEEPOVERS TO BUILDING TREEHOUSES,U WATCH THEM LAUGH AND PLAY. ARGUEING ABOUT WHO'S TURN IT IS OR WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO. A STRANGER IN OUR HOME WAS A FRIEND WE HAVEN'T MET YET. MY HUSBAND ALWAYS WANTED A YARD FULL OF KIDS-AND THAT HE DID! ALL KIDS FROM DIFFERENT STREETS AND PARTS OF OUR BOYS LIVES WERE THERE IN THAT YARD. THEN THEY STARTED 2 GROW UP. WRESTLING,FOOTBALL WENT 2 CHASEING GIRLS AND GOING 2 THE NEXT PARTY. ME YELLING AT EACH ONE AS IF THEY WERE MY OWN, SOME EVEN CALLED ME MOM. THEN THE TRAGEDY OF FREEWILL- YHE ABILITY 2 KNOW ITS HURTFUL,DANGEROUS AND WRONG AND THINK YOU R INVINCABLE 2 IT.  SO MANY GOOD CHILDREN LOST. TEARS CRYED,ONLY MEMORIES HOLDING A PART OF EACH ONE LOST IN OUR HEART.I THINK WE LOST 7 CHILDREN 2 DRUGS, CAR WRECKS,SUICIDES AND ACCIDENTS, NOT ILLNESS FREEWILL TOOK THEM.I DON'T GO ONE DAY WITHOUT SEEING SOMETHING 2 REMIND ME OF THE SWEET GHILD THAT ONCE LAUGHED ONCE IN MY HOME. MY HEARTS ACHES EVERYDAY, ALL THE TIME KNOWING THIS WILL NOT BE OUR LAST. BRADLEY HOW I MISSU AND SHAWN AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT PLAYED IN OUT YARD. FROM MY HEART 2 GODS HANDS.
