    Glenn,
    I'm a very sorry for the loss of your son. I am only 25 years old, but I lost my sister when I was 18. I saw how much it tore up my parents inside, and how much it still does to this day. Its hard for me to still comprehend that she is no longer here, at least in physical form. She was my best friend, my partner in crime, my inspiration, and everyone's "sunshine"! If it were not for her words of inspiration before she left this world, "No matter what happens, never give up!" I would have thrown in the towel the day she died...All I know is the best way to cope in times like these is to keep the memories and the love alive. Look at pictures, watch funny old home videos, laugh about stupid stuff you used to do..but most importantly talk about how you're feeling inside whenever you feel you're bursting at the seams. That is the only thing that will help slowly heal the wound you've just been dealt. Its hard to do but it has helped me endlessly for the past 7 years in the process of healing. Like JeffreyJames said..Build the hot rod you had planned on building, it will be the best therapy you could ask for, and I am sure your son will be right by your side through the build!~Take care my friend and my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family~Mojodaddy

    To read this thread, and all the caring that is shared. I am saddened by the loss, to all whom Cody touched in his life. If you are moved, to build a project, or even a simple task, for others...I hope you will find respite in carrying it through. His spirit will always be a part of your days and a**** all who knew him. Thank you for reminding us.

    This the most eloquent, heart-wrenching post I have ever read on the HAMB. I met Glenn at the HAMB Drags and shared an all too brief conversation. I instantly picked up on his enthusiastic and sincere nature.

    Glenn, words cannot describe the sheer agony you are enduring. Your courageous and inspiring post is the first of many steps in the healing process. Please believe that we ALL share your tragic loss.:(

    There aren't adequate enough words to express how I feel for you and your family right now. "Sorry" and "condolences" just don't cut it. There needs to be something stronger, something deeper.

    Rest ***ured that you and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    The whole HAMB brotherhood is here to help if we can. Just reach out.

    Your letter took courage to post and reveal your breaking hearts to the world, but I think that's a good first step. Keep your family intact, and close, and weather the storm.

    My son and I rarely speak, but your post made me drop him a line and tell him I love him, in spite of that which keeps us apart.

    I have a one month old son. He's only been around for a short time and I have an incredible amount of love for him. I cannot comprehend multiplying those feelings over a 25 year period. Stay strong. Our prayers are with you.
     
  28. I'm so sorry to hear this.
    God grants strength to those who seek it.
    May your son rest in peace.

    Glenn,

    I worry about this every weekend when my 17 and 21 year old boys leave the house.

    I had a similar call from a State Trooper when my Dad took his own life in 2000. It is the worse phone call anyone can receive and it has to be even more horrific when it is regarding one of your children.

    Please know you will have some prayers from Indiana.
