Your post was eloquent and beautiful.. something most people can relate to.. I think "candor" is easily recognizable as substantive, and your entry was both of those things.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry about your little cousin. Awful.
Lenore's most recent post on her blog is not for the faint of heart. Really tough. Brutal honesty about when Hunter died.
Amazing she could write at all.

May his soul rest in perfect peace. He is at peace now.
I ask God to give his parents the fortitude to bear the loss.

My cousin just lost her only son 2 weeks ago - aged 4yrs.
It is so unimaginable and painful to loose a "pure" innocent child.
A pain beyond reason. But God know best. The only consolation is that he is at peace.

I say a prayer for Hunter!

SO heartbreaking. I have followed Hunter's story since the first time you posted about him. My prayers are with his family.

I am sick to my stomach to have to write this…
Monday night. Hunter passed away.

I know, like why ever complain about anything. It's a blessing to have small, or even medium problems.
They are very brave, good people. Right now they are trying to get miles or donations to bring relatives out to say goodbye to Hunter.
I just sent something. So puny next to what they are going through.

I will say a prayer. I don't understand why a child must ever get sick.

I know, I know. I cried when I read the latest post, too.

All 3 of them: Zen, Lenore, Hunter, what little happiness they've had to grab onto during the last 3 years.

It's too much to even be able to understand. Such deep sadness….slaps me in the face when I start to pity myself for all the finances we've had to replace. My selfishness, my lack of perspective when I feel so tired from working 2 jobs, cleaning, raising 3 boys…all this. SO what? Lenore and Zen would give anything for "the gift of an ordinary day" as the saying goes.

My prayers go out to them, for their heartache, but most of all for beautiful Hunter: when all he's known is hospitals, treatments, needles, illness, pain, fatigue, and the basics of all things: playdates, little friends, trips to the zoo. It's just too unfair.
