In Loving Memory of Brody Daniel Pizzifred

Brody passed away on Jan 4th, 2015.  It's been a tough year accepting our loss.  No words could possibly describe the pain we feel.  Our time with Brody was simply far too short.  But he has forever changed our lives and will live on in our hearts forever.  I tried to keep myself very busy as to not dwell on this anniversary too much.  But as the rest of the household went off to bed, I found myself unable to quiet my thoughts or possibly consider sleeping.  I started looking through old photos of Brody and ended up creating a slide show video with pics of Brody throughout his life.  I hope those of you who view it will enjoy remembering our precious Brody.

Past Pics on the "Picture Tree"

Here are some past pics on our "Picture Tree" when the tree still had it's other half....

Pics on the "Picture Tree"

We like to take pics each year of the boys on this tree by the river.  We were shocked to find that half the tree had been cut-off this year. We decided to take pics this year on the same tree anyway.  The picture of Brody in his Obituary was taken on this tree (he was sitting on the part that is now cut off).  We plan to put that picture of Brody on his grave stone too.

I sat on this bench today and thought of Brody





Brody's Favorite Swing

Brody loved the baby swings at the park in Grand Rapids, Ohio.  He could still fit in them in the summer of 2013.  We didn't get to take him there in 2014 (He was in Columbus all summer).  I am thinking he may have finally outgrew them by 2014 if we had been able to take him.  But he loved that these swings had very long chains and you could swing super high.  I loved that about the swings there too.  Plus the regular (non-baby swings) had a flat very large seat that my bottom could fit into comfortably.  lol! They are very comfy swings.  Brody preferred the baby swings because the regular ones felt too big to him and it was easier to hold onto his nephrostomy bag in the baby swing.

I wish Brody and I could have enjoyed those swings together again today.
