    Glen, Just reading the many posts about your son and his tragic loss should alert many who have children around his age to love them by reminding them of the dangers that are at every turn when they are behind the wheel. It's such a special time in the maturing process, a time when you feel invincible, so in control. Also I hope it's a wake up call for those who haven't hugged thier kids lately and told them that they are loved beyond measure, they NEED to know and be reminded often.
    Words, deeds and prayers will be a benifit in your survival and I include mine with those already expressed. It's never enough, but mixed with a faith in God you will survive and with that survival you'll find Cody never far away. May God bless you and your family.

    Frank
     
  4. My heart goes out to you and your family.I'll be praying for you all.

    Glenn, I think those that have shared in your loss have said it best, that in time, you will be able to heal, and have a life that isn't weighed down with sadness and loss. Although you will never forget the emptiness, hopefully you will be able to be happy again, and be at peace with it.

    I think the fact that you have a big, close, family will help you all come to terms with your loss.

    You also have a big, close, extended, family here on the HAMB, and in the hot-rodding community that will be there if you or your family need anything.

    Continued prayers for you and your family.
    -Jon

    Glenn, my hear goes out to you. I was floored when I read your post and it shook me into never taking for granted how fragile life can be. I have 12-year-old twin sons and I already find myself thinking (and worrying) about the many sleepless nights on the horizon as they start going out with friends, driving, etc.. Hang in there and be strong for your family.

    My heart goes out to you and your family. Being the father of 3 grown children and a grandfather, I cannot begin to imagine how hard this is to endure. Hopefully sharing this with your HAMB family will help ease your pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
     
  15. Glen, I feel fortunate to know you on the HAMB, respect the depth of your love for your son and the hobby we all enjoy. May God comfort you and your family in this time of need.

    I do not know what to say, my hart goes out to you i hate when this happens I wll send out a prayer
     
  17. There is nothing natural about a parent burying a child. My sympathies to your family. May time heal your wounds.
     
  18. Glenn, I'd like to pass on my thoughts for you and your family on behalf of ALL the Australian HAMBers. This is the first I've heard of this tragic event.

    I see the pain of a family that has lost 2 children constantly....I am married to the only remaining child, so seeing a massive loss like yours makes my own 6-month old son mean even more to me. I will give him a special hug tonight when I get home from work.

    Its been 2 years since I lost my brother (35yrs old) and everyday I miss him. Find comfort in others and take the time to grieve. its a process but your heart and mind needs to release the emotions. Saddened for your loss.

    Reading Fab32's post got me to thinking about something that ran through my mind a week or so ago. I have four little ones, two girls and two boys. 12, 8, 2, and 8 months. They were all in front of me in the living room floor playing and what not and as I looked at them I thought "You know, I have them all here in front of me, safe and sound where I can watch there every move and protect them from any one or anything.".........then I got scared, literally scared because then I thought "man, it won't always be this way".......... That scared the daylights out of me.

    It's stuff like this that scares me.


    I am so very sorry for your loss. Be strong and keep the faith my friend.

    Glenn,

    My deepest sympathy to you, your family and his friends.

    From another Glenn.
     
  25. You're in our prayers and will continue to be. I lost my sister to a drunk driver back in 85. It's a hole that will always be there. I won't say I know what you're going through but my heart does break for you.

    Glen, I know from experince that no words are good enough at this time.
    Do what you think he would want you to do and take it one day at a time, may god bless.

    I lost my oldest 18 years ago and he is still never far from my thoughts.
