We were just sitting here and decided to take a look at Bretton's site and noticed the new pictures. Spencer almost had a fit when he saw "my playground look" "swing, slide" lol! Keaton is changing his looks a little bit. But he has his mother's mouth!!!! HAHA!! Just Kidding!

Hi, I don't know way i never took the time to sit and read Bretton's page. I've seen some of it, when we would be sitting at the computer. We don't have much time for that anymore. (Sitting Around) lol. I think that is a big issue. People just don't make the time. All I can think of saying is "What A Difference A Year Makes"!!! Love You Always! Heather

Dear Jiselle and Condon, Amber forwarded this site on to me, and I have to admit I am crying while I type this. You are very strong, brave parents to go through so much and still want to try again. Much respect to both of you. I just read you had your second little angel, a boy!! How exciting! I bet he'll have Bretton's spirit and you'll always see him in your new, little bundle. Well, your sight is touching, heartfelt, and tearjerking....I'm still crying. I just want to congratulate both of you on your new arrival and wish you all the best things in life, you had your share and more of the bad. Good luck and kiss the baby for us. Love, Debbie

Jisele & Condon, I am speechless. This site is such a tribute to Bretton.You must feel so proud of yourselves for keeping his memory alive in such a wonderful way for everyone to enjoy him. He was such a beautiful little boy. I didn't even know about this site until now. Karen Lahey, my co-worker, told me about it. I am sorry I didn't see it earlier. I really didn't know all of the details of what you guys went through. I can't even imagine what it is like. You guys have to be the strongest people I know. My heart broke when I read your journal. I honestly can't imagine what you went through. I look at my boys and I cry just thinking about it. And especially when I think of Brett because they were only 6 months apart and we picked names that are so similar. It is a constant reminder of your little Bretton. I will always keep him in my thoughts. Now, I have to congratulate you on the birth of your baby boy. I just found out today at work. I am so happy for the both of you. May he bring much joy and happiness to your lives. You are always in our thoughts, Amber, David, Brett and Jake.

Hi Jisele and Condon, Just thinking of you 3 today and was wondering if there was any news. Hope to talk to you soon. And I hope that everything is ok. I cant get into my email or I would have emailed you. Gmail must be down. Anyway thinking of you and your special sweet little angel in heaven. I wonder if Jacob and him have met yet? I wonder if because we know each other then they do now too? Sorry just weird little thoughts that i think about sometimes!!! Hugs Ange

Jiselle & Condon, Just found out about your website and read your story through tears-Bretton was a sweet child and I never really believed in angels but I have no doubt that he is indeed an angel. Morgan still talks about how he used to brighten up whenever she would talk to him. Just wanted you to know we were thinking of you... love & prayers, Sabrina & fam

Dear Jisele & Condon; I checked out your website today. What a beautiful job you have done. I must tell you I never really knew what happened to your baby and now it breaks my heart all over again to know the full story. You and Condon must be very strong in your love for your son and for each other. It is the hardest thing to go through, losing an essential part of your family so suddenly is never an easy thing. It took me the longest time to get through your site because of the tears I shed, but not even a fraction of what you must have shed over the past year and a half. My heart goes out to you both. Many people have told you it gets better with time but only those who have experienced something like this know that this isn't true. People just learn to cope a little better. All the best in your future efforts to have another baby who will be just as special as Bretton was. Take care, hugs and prayers, Karen

Hi Jisele & Condon. I just finished going through your web site (Jen told me about it). It is simply beautiful & heartbreaking at the same time. As I sit here crying into my computer (at work), I am feeling so sorry for not keeping in touch. As I read your journal entries and looked at Bretton's beautiful pictures, everything came back to me about the day we found out about Bretton.It seems like so long ago at times, but I know it doesn't feel that way to you. I realize that I can't know how you are feeling, but I can imagine you relive this every day. My heart aches for you both. Eventhough I havn't talked to you in a while please remember I am here if you ever need to talk...about ANYTHING. I promise I will be up for a visit soon and I will take Sam too. I have been distant with him because I don't want to hurt you by seeing other babies, but I realize now that maybe it would help in some little way. I hope so. I am thinking of you and Bretton. Love always, Kim :)

Your baby boy was a blessing to you and Condon and I wish you both the best of luck in the future and know that your baby boy is watching over you each and everyday!

Your story really pulled my heart strings. I happened upon your story when talking to my friend and your relation, Jeff. He spoke of his cousin Bretton and then sent me the link to this site. Your story is so sad but so informative. I hope that your Christmas can be a little merrier knowing that you have touched the lives of so many through your story. It reminds me of a poem by Emily Dickinson, "I shall not live in vain" If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. ~Merry Christmas~ You shall be in my thoughts.

I have been crying all nite from the website, my heart feels sore, tommorow the ped neu will call me to set up an appt for my "lazy baby" almost 7 months - not rolling over, cannot sit up- even with support just flops over, and stiff legs - he cannot bring them up, however he can hold his neck. I am so confused and scared. We are a nice healthy looking couple, but we already have had a stressful time with our 5 yr old who was dx'd @ 3yrs old with Juvenile Diabetes, he is dependant on shots 2-5 a day. I wonder why my family is so huge (18) grandchildren to be exact and my babies are the only one with health problems. I cannot believe the things that happen to our Angels on Earth - but I know that your baby is an Angel in Heaven , A very loving Mommy in New Jersey, USA

Now he is doing them with strength and freeness of SMA. I cant imagine how hard each and every day is for you. It would be so hard to smile at each new birth...wondering why it cant be you. Im sending you a HUGE HUGE hug right now can you feel it??? Great going on that job! Hope that your all doing fine and getting by. Call anytime we are home now! Love always Angela, ALyssa and baby bear Jacob

Hi Jisele & Condon! Just wanted to drop a line to say how special you both are to Brent and I-and that we think about Baby Bretton everyday. He was a special boy that will be remembered for all the joy he created while he was still with us. Even though time is passing-it doesn't pass without the thoughts of how special he was..and still is in our hearts. One day, not sure what day, you will parent again. Brent and I love you both and you're in our prayers for Bretton and new babies to come! CHIN UP-you can do it, I have faith in you both to stay strong. Lot of Luv, Cathy & Brent

Your story really touched my heart. A friend of my gave me this site. I lost my best friend 5 months ago and I am having a very hard time moving on. But to read your story and to think of my own children (age 7 and 13) I guess I should be thinking of the positive things in my life and be greatful for the things I have. I had 19 years with my friend, she was 36 when she died. You on the other hand had only a short time with your beloved son. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me the right way to deal with her death which is what she would tell me herself if she was here, which is to enjoy every minute of everyday with my family because you never now when something could happen. Again I'm sorry for your loss and I pray for you and your husband.

Jisele I know nothing I could say will ease your pain today... I called early this morning, and got to talk to you tonight. I thought about you and Condon all day. Sweet Bretton was with you both today all day. I wish I could be there to have some tea, sit and talk, look at pictures, cry, laugh, hug, you know, just be there for you whatever way I can. Please know I am here for you forever and always. This is a poem I came across and love it...hope you do too... Hugs and prayers and kisses always to my dear friend. Dear Lord, I place my tiny hand in yours When I heard you call my name. I wondered then if I could stay, to laugh to learn to love to play. Perhaps my time may seem to brief, I pray it does not bring undue grief. I pray that if my parting has left a void, Help them fill it with remembered joy. Oh loving parents and family that I miss I ask you know to remember this I asked the Lord, don't let them grieve I'm following the path you laid for me. Do not stand at the grave and cry I am not there I did not die. I could not stay another day God has better plans for me. In the hearts of those I love, And from the Heavens up above, I'm sending you all my love Author: Unknown

Our hearts were broke a year ago and we continue to feel our loss everyday. We love and miss Bretton very much. Through our conversations about him, the many pictures we have and this very special site we will forever keep his memory alive. Here on earth for only a short time but he made such an impact on all our lives. Bretton Gone from the earth so swiftly, Just like a flower in bloom. So young, so fair, so loving, Yet called away so soon. Spared from any suffering, By God's infinite plan. Now is at peaceful rest In God's eternal land. Always loved and forever missed by Aunt Heather, Uncle David, Cousins Kramer and Alicia

Well Bretton what can I say? Your mommy and daddy are very excited and hoping very much that the ivf/pgd works. They would really like for you to have a little brother or sister. I know they miss and love you very much. If you run into God up there, could you ask Him for this? I hope you are having fun up there!
