Remembering my son

[ZaneO]

About 2 years ago, my wife and I learned that our son would be born with a very significant brain malformation and would probably not live. We were blessed with nearly 21 months of life with him. It`s been almost 6 weeks since he passed away.



I write this post tonight and share our blog, not to get sympathy, but in hopes of encouraging someone who might need it. We would not have been able to endure our jouney without the encouragement and inspiration from others around us. I pray that his legacy will live on and just one of you will be helped by his story.



Life with The Olivers (the past two years in reverse chronological order) - I hope you`ll have the time to read from the beginning.

I find your attitude inspirational. And I wish I could do more than simply say I feel for you and your family. Peace.

When your children pass on before you do it a very hard thing to bear and I feel for you both. Your story is an inspiration to others

Zane, very inspirational blog. I`d can`t imagine how upset I`d be at the universe if that happened to my family. Glad you are trying to stay positive.

ZaneO- Thanks for sharing this with us, my thoughts are with you.

I am very sorry your family is going through a sad time. I wish you the strength to make some sense of this situation. I read a book called when bad things happen to good people when I lost my Dad. It helped me and I hope it will help you.

Having been blessed with a boy Dec. 14 this year your story brought me to tears. I only hope your story touches and informs others.

Truly my condolences and wishes for peace in your family. Words cannot express what really need to be said. My heart goes out to you.

Inspirational and heart breaking at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

[ZaneO]

Thanks for your words, guys.

ZaneO -



Thank you for sharing this private part of your life with us. It`s heart wrenching and inspiring....bitter sweet. It also helps place things in perspective for me, as I can be so darn selfish at times when things of no value don`t go my way.



God Bless

This brought tears to my eyes the whole time reading it. I hugged my kids and told them I loved them. Please stay strong and know that you gave your son the best possible life he could have had. He`s in a better place.
