As someone who has faithfully followed your blog while praying for you
and your family, I can not pretend to even begin to know the painful
path you have been given. Although we have never met I have worried as
milestones have been reached and passed such as, Max's birthday,
Mothers Day, the anniversary of Max's death, Fathers day and all the
days in between. I have worried that the absence of your blogs indicate
life has been too painful to write but pray that is not the case. I
wonder about Quinn and how your pregnancy is coming. I guess what I
really want to say is I am so very sorry for your pain and I have been
thinking about you and your family. Sending lots of care and warm
thoughts.
Alexis said: May 22nd, 2012 11:21 pm
Thinking of you and your family a lot recently. So happy to hear about Quinn!
Grandma Shirley said: April 30th, 2012 12:31 pm
Your lastest blog touched my heart as I too think of Max so often. I
still remember the short time I got to be with him. I can still feel his
little head nestled on my shoulder as I sang to him and he didn't even
care how it sounded. I am so happy you will have the memorial garden and
wish I was there with all of you. Send my love to all

Max was a beautiful baby. Blessings to you.
Tina Roth said: March 18th, 2012 10:31 pm
Just read your latest post. You do a great job of articulating what is
going on. I understand and have had several simillar situations. Please
keep writing.
Mandi said: January 19th, 2012 11:55 pm
Scott and Lindsey, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Max. I've
been reading Lindsey's blog and the writing is talented, raw, tragic,
touching, and uplifting. Thank you for being brave and sharing your
talent and feelings with us during this difficult time. May you and
your families find peace.
carol said: December 29th, 2011 9:18 am
I am sooo happy for your great news! I really prayed for you and your
family throughout these holidays. You and Scott are doing the
Day-by-day thing and living on this side of tragedy. You all are heroes
to me. I'm proud of you!
carol said: November 23rd, 2011 4:29 pm
Sweet friend,
In reply to your wonderful efforts to create new traditions, enjoy
creating the new. So don't hurry through anything, just soak in the
meaning of it all. You can and will add each year as special days and
holidays come.
Grandma Shirley said: November 20th, 2011 12:22 pm
Your message is so touching. I have been having a lot of Max attacks
lately and it was so calming in a way to read how you are going to spend
the holidays. I really like so many of your ideas and especially making
the tree ornaments. May your holiday be blessed with all the family and
friends there. Know that you are all in my heart and I will be thinking
of you.
Terra said: November 3rd, 2011 11:58 am
I just read the Faith's Lodge post. I'm touched by the photo- not sure
if you took it or someone else? It conveys so much...not only the
beauty of nature and the freshness of the morning, but also the
symbolic. The letting in of light, the bridge, the silent forest, the
familiar yet unknown, the sense of grandeur and being a small but
necessary speck in the middle of it all...sometimes the eyes need to be
opened.
Kristi Northcutt said: October 20th, 2011 8:34 am
Scott and Lindsey,
A dear friend of mine from college, Amy, and her husband lost a child a
couple of years ago - Emily. She was 7 months old. Amy blogs and has a
series tagged "The Grieving Mother." She wrote an entry yesterday that
really spoke to what I hear you saying in your own blog, and I wanted
to direct you to it. I hope that you find comfort in reading it, and
any of her past entries about Emily. Hugs.

Jen Damti said: October 11th, 2011 8:06 pm
It was a great surprise to see you this weekend. I had heard about
your loss a few weeks ago but wasn't sure how to reach out to you. Joe
and I are incredibly sorry for your loss. It is brave of you to write
this blog, and your writing is so vivid. Thank you for sharing. I hope
to see you both again soon.
Kelly Lopez said: October 4th, 2011 9:31 pm
Even though I don't think I will ever have the right words, I just
wanted to tell you that your family is in my thoughts and prayers every
day. Your writing is so powerful and I hope you keep writing, as long
as you find it a good outlet. Your retelling of Ethan's memory box left
a lump in my throat. What a sweet, tender big brother he must be.
Grandma Shirley said: September 30th, 2011 3:19 pm
I loved your poem and also the rhythm of it. But then I really like
poetry if it really has meaning to it. I check almost everyday to see if
you have written anything. I can understand how your students love to
have you as a teacher.
Kristi said: September 29th, 2011 3:45 pm
Lindsey, I am a friend of Scott's from high school, and I have been
following this blog since you started it. Scott knows a little of
what's going on in my son's life, so I won't go into detail here, but I
will say that every time I read this, hot tears of mourning and loss
race down my face and I feel so much of your pain. We are so very
blessed to still have our son, but there have been times when I have
seen the color leave him, the cold overtake him, and I have been
TERRIFIED in every fiber of my being that I would lose him. I wish I
had the words for you, to comfort you and your family, but I do want you
to know that I am praying for you. That may not feel like much right
now, but I wanted you to at least know it. AND...that I loved your
poem. God's peace.
Listy Lehman said: September 29th, 2011 3:42 pm
Your poem is beautiful! I really appreciate you sharing your deepest
thoughts. You are truly an amazing person and loved by many.
Grandma Betty said: September 5th, 2011 9:46 pm
Once again you were so spot on in your observations. I do know that
grandma/mother that Scott was talking to and realized that Sept. 2 was
the anniversary of the death of her son. I understand that the birth of
this little girl has been bittersweet. Her son will never know his
daughter and the grandma will never get to see him with his child. How
very, very diificult this must be. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
with us.
Grandma Shirley said: August 30th, 2011 4:44 pm
Couldn't help but have a teary eye as I read about the rocking chair.
How well I remember rocking Max and singing to him. Little did I know
then that I would not ever do that for him again so the memory is very
precious to me as well as the time I got to spend getting to know Ethan
better.
Abby Sapp said: August 30th, 2011 12:55 pm
Thank you for continuing to share your journey. You are such a beautiful writer. All of you continue to be in our prayers.
Sara Bayless said: August 30th, 2011 3:30 am
Lindsey, your writing is beautiful and poignant. I grieve for your
family's loss and hope you recieve much comfort from your entries. I am
humbled and honored to have a chance to read along through this
gut-wrenching journey that is now your day to day life. I hope the days
get lighter and the loving memory of your son carries you strong.
Wishing you much peace and love.
Christine Baker said: August 19th, 2011 6:56 pm
I hope you turn this blog into a book some day. Your writing is
beautiful and your comments so thought provoking. It gives me so much
insight in to what a grieving parent feels. I hope writing this gives
you some comfort and a better way to cope with Max's death.
I think about you and your family often and hope that you are blessed
with much happiness in the future.
Thank you for sharing such a personal journey with us.
Grandma Shirley said: August 15th, 2011 9:34 am
Your writing is so so wonderful and calming to me also. I still think
so often of Max and so glad I got to spend the time with all of you.
Hope Ethan had a wonderful birthday. Miss you all but hope to see you
soon.
Lisa Lung said: August 10th, 2011 1:42 am
Lindsey,
For some reason you were on my mind tonight. Perhaps it was because
school starts up again this week, but regardless of the reason, I want
you to know that I was thinking about you. I am so proud of this blog. I
have been reading through your entries all night. Next thing I knew, I
was sobbing! You and Scott are such strong individuals and I look up to
you for your bravery. Please know that I think about your family and Max
often!
Krissy DeVaux said: August 6th, 2011 8:53 am
It took me awhile to bring myself to read this, but for some reason I
woke up this morning and read every single word. Strangely, I found it
soothing to read. I think about you and your boys nearly every day so
it's relieving to know that you are doing your best to keep your heads
up. I wish only the best for you all in the future!
Liz said: August 6th, 2011 7:55 am
You have an amazing talent. Your ability to share your feelings and
healing is unfounded. Thank you! I look forward to seeing you in a
couple days. We love you guys!
Liz, Jim, Emma, and Stella Bray
Erika Backs said: August 2nd, 2011 11:53 pm
It was good to hear from you last night....it is NEVER too late.
Laying on that big grassy hill and thinking about you, and probably
passerbys wondering what the hell is wrong with her, I realize that you
and Scott are just wonderful people. Max obviously was special
too...look how many lives he has already influenced!!! Love you
guys....talk to you soon!
Jeff Storey said: August 2nd, 2011 10:02 pm
Lindsey, I have been reading your blog this evening: you do such a
great job conveying your thoughts/emotions/struggles in the aftermath of
Max's death. I must try the "Mad Max" pizza (or I could just sample
some left in Nicole's fridge if it's still there!)...
Niki Dosland said: August 2nd, 2011 8:21 pm
What a great website and way to journal your feelings! I've been
reading your blogs and so happy to hear that you've surrounded yourself
with lots and lots of support systems! Been thinking and praying daily
about you guys. Love you!
Brie Meschke said: July 30th, 2011 7:49 pm
so fun to read your blog. it is very wonderful, heartfelt, and inspirational. :)
Jennifer King said: July 28th, 2011 1:08 am
Been keeping up, I know I don't know you well but your family has been
in my prayers. It's wonderful to see that you are coping in a healthy
way.
Katie said: July 27th, 2011 11:06 pm
I have been putting off signing the guestbook for lack of being able
to put all that Im feeling into my words like you can Linds. I really
appreciate being able to read this blog even just to feel a little
closer to you when Im so far away. You, Scott, Ethan, Max and all of
your family are never far from my thoughts. I never thought I could miss
someone so much that I never got to meet. Love always, Katie
Christy Mills said: July 25th, 2011 1:49 pm
Your website is beautiful, I read it every chance I get. You and your
family have been on my mind a lot lately, I can't imagine what your
going through. Stay strong Mrs. Mcfall
Lindsey Welch said: July 25th, 2011 4:35 am
Hi Linds and Scott, I have been reading all of your posts and they are
beautiful and inspiring. Max's table is perfect and I am glad it gives
you a little peace. I also read about the SIDS fundraiser and would love
to help in any way I can so keep posting information about it. I keep
thinking of you guys and Ethan!
debbie mcendarffer said: July 24th, 2011 12:12 am
Lindsey, your blog and your ability to express your feelings is
amazing. I admire your strength and want you to know you, Scott, Ethan
and Max are in my prayers every night. I am happy we got to spend some
pool time together and I got to know Ethan. Hope we can do it again
before school starts.
Laura Dold said: July 22nd, 2011 9:08 pm
I very much enjoyed meeting you and hearing all about darling Max. He
sounded just as sweet as he was handsome. I'm thinking of you today
and in the days to follow. Sometimes just knowing that there are a lot
of us grieving mothers out there is enough to get through some of the more difficult days. We carry on because we have to.
With love,
Laura
Mommy said: July 22nd, 2011 7:49 am
I should have called Nicole last night. I couldn't sleep thinking
about you either. Wish I could hold you in my arms and make it all
better but I know I can't. All my love coming your way, Mommy
Nicole said: July 22nd, 2011 12:31 am
Couldn't sleep tonight thinking about you, Lindsey. I know these days
are rough... which is the understatement of the century. However,
reading your blog makes me feel stronger. I can only hope that writing
does the same for you. I'm sending all my love your way.
Courtney Martinez said: July 21st, 2011 11:11 pm
Lindsey, Scott & Ethan,
I have met you a few times through Ryan & Alison. Mom told me about
your blog today. You are so brave to share your feelings with the
world. Thank you for your honesty. I hugged my boys a bit tighter
tonight and we prayed for the McFalls. Prayers, good thoughts and
wishes for peace from the Faddis-Martinez family.
Amber Byler Wilson said: July 21st, 2011 4:05 pm
Lindsey,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious son Max. I can't imagine the
pain you & your family must feel. It's obvious the love you had
for your son and I know he felt that love everyday of his short life. I
don't understand why Max or any child would be called back to heaven so
soon but it's not my place to understand it. God has a plan for all of
us, for some reason he need sweet baby Max back in heaven with him
after only 37 days.
Ecclesiastes 11:5
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a
mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of
all things.
After reading your posts on this website, I'm amazed by your strength. I
know you have and will continue to be a support for families who have
also lost a child. I will be praying for you & your family.
Grandma Betty said: July 20th, 2011 9:38 pm
Lindsey - You have inspired so many of us who loved Max by your
incredible writing. You have given words to the thoughts and emotions
that randomly pop up during this difficult time. Thank you for that
gift. I will always treasure the memories of my time with him. As time
goes on I know there will be fewer tears of sadness and more moments of
joy and hope. You are all loved very much. Grandma Betty
A said: July 19th, 2011 1:28 am
Lindsey, I couldn't sleep tonight. I have thought of you, Scott,
Ethan, and Max quite a bit even though I barely know you. I decided to
google Max McFall at 1:30 in the morning Reading your story and the
posts have been so endearing. I have lost a brother and a sister, and
often think how my mom has been so strong all these years. She was a
widower herself at 38. My sister died last year and although she is no
longer on Earth to care for her children, I am positive she is helping
to take of and love Max.
Melissa Green said: July 18th, 2011 3:44 pm
This website it amazing. You are such an amazing family and I want to
thank you for sharing all of your thoughts with us. Sending you love
from California!
Aubry Spencer said: July 18th, 2011 2:55 pm
Mrs. Mcfall -
Your website is absolutely beautiful! Your honesty is so touching, and I
can't imagine anyone reading your blog and not being touched. I think
of you and your family all the time, you guys are always in my prayers.
Susan Jameson said: July 16th, 2011 2:53 pm
Lindsey I just want to tell you that everytime I see you at Brookridge
I want to come and hug you because that's all I would know to do. So
everytime you see me smile at you know that I am holding you in my arms
and hugging you.
The other day as I was leaving the grocery store a mother walked in
looking down at her baby, smiling and talking...it took my breath away
and all I wanted to do was cry, because at that moment all I could think
was if I feel like this what must Lindsey feel when she sees something
like this.
I carry the memory of the day at Brookridge when you and Scott came and
picked up Ethan and you stopped at the door of Room B to talk and let me
see Max. You are a family I will always remember...for all the reasons
Ethan's first baby sitter wrote. My prayer for your family is that GOD
will make that hole in your heart a treasure box that will always be
there full of the wonderful memories of Max. Take Care of Yourself!
Carol said: July 15th, 2011 12:55 pm
I read all so far...wrenching, I ache for your loss of Max,his dear
little body,hair and face...his precious name...the dreams you and Scott
had for him...the sobbing at roadside...Every tear of yours is seen by
God
Sharon Anderson said: July 14th, 2011 10:59 pm
Lindsey: I posted earlier today so if this is a repeat...sorry...I
just want you to know I am heartbroken for you, your husband, Ethan and
everyone who is close to you!!
--Sharon
PS--my husband works at (your) Quick Trip and he doesn't drink Rooster
Booster or take No Doz... :-)
Sharon Anderson said: July 14th, 2011 1:24 pm
Lindsey & family: You all have been on my heart and mind and in
my earnest prayers since I learned of your tragic loss. Good for you
that you have a forum for 'some' of your pain. I cannot even imagine.
Please know that you are cared for. You are a brave person for being
able to express yourself so eloquently!! You are quite a woman.
Fondly...Sharon
Eva Schulte said: July 13th, 2011 10:54 pm
Hello, I cry with you and am touched by your writing. I lost my baby
boy from a cord incident several weeks before his due date. My new
companions are an amazing comfort and salvation to me and I'm so glad
you've found a similar network. I send you love and share your tears.
Brie told me of your lovely blog tribute to sweet Max. Thank you for
being so brave to share with us. We are here for you.
Schalie Johnson said: July 13th, 2011 10:17 pm
Sending love and hugs your way. Lindsey, Scott, and Ethan. Know that
you are always in my thoughts, every day, even when we do not get to see
each other. My heart goes out to you.
Mary Helt said: July 13th, 2011 9:23 pm
Lindsey~this is absolutely touching and honest. Thank you for sharing
your thoughts, feelings, hurt and pain and beautiful memories of Max.
You are in my thoughts all the time. I will be gone again this weekend,
but maybe next week we could go for a walk together. You remain in my
prayers.
Christine Baker said: July 13th, 2011 6:40 pm
Lindsey,
My heart absolutely breaks for you. I want to thank you for sharing your
emotions and thoughts with everyone. I can't imagine what you must be
going through on a daily basis, but I hope it gets a little easier every
day. I've thought about you and your family often during the last
month. I know happier days lie ahead for you.
Cindy Swarner said: July 13th, 2011 1:43 pm
Lindsey, Even though we didn't get to know each other very well while
teaching at South, You, Max and your family are in my prayers. Reading
your posts brought tears to my eyes. So from an outside perspective I
want you to know that I care that you were able to spend a short amount
of time with a gift from God! I admire how you are sharing moments of
Max with all of us. That is a treasure for sure! Wishing a little
comfort for your aching heart for each day forward.
Casey McCabe said: July 13th, 2011 12:30 pm
Lindsey, your writing is truly beautiful on every level.
It's still weird, how life goes on despite the most devastating tragedy;
I'm sitting in the Roasterie and I had just found the pics of Max I
sent you on my phone. I had intended to procrastinate so I decided to
review the hundreds of pics on my phone. Surprise, there was Max. In
an instant the day changed, and not for the worse. It just became more
precious.
xoxox
Chris Fernandez said: July 13th, 2011 10:19 am
I just wanted to say I love you guys! I'm so glad I got to meet Max
and I'll always cherish the few memories have, especially the time he
fell asleep in my arms while we were watching tv =) I cry when I read
your posts, I feel so bad that you're hurting. But on the flipside,
I'm glad you have an outlet for your thoughts and that you choose to
share them with us instead of keeping them bottled up. There is so much
more that I could write, but I'll just leave it at this. I really do
love you guys.
Cheryl McFall said: July 12th, 2011 8:00 pm
I miss Max. I never got to meet him. I never got to hear the giggles
or see his eyes. I never got to hold him or even change a dirty diaper. I
hear he had curly hair like me, his Aunt.
I am so sorry for my daughter, Madion. She will never meet her baby
cousin. She will never get to pick on him or be protected by him.
However, she will know about him. She will, one day, hear about every
moment of his short life.
Peace be in the heart of all those who will read this.
Kelly Lopez said: July 12th, 2011 2:41 pm
Hi Lindsey, I work with your mom and have been so touched by Max even
though I never met him. I wish I had something amazing to say to you
but I just don't. So what I can say is this: I'm terribly sorry for the
loss of Max, the loss of your hopes and dreams you had for your family
and for all of the pain you are going through. You are in my thoughts
daily and I pray for your broken, but healing heart. Your post about
your mom was so very sweet. I know she thinks you are a simply amazing,
kind and loving mother, daughter, sister and friend and she is so proud
of you.
Brie Meschke said: July 11th, 2011 8:06 pm
After having lost a child myself, I can completely identify with how
you feel. I am so proud of you because I never had the nerve to tell
people how hurtful it was when they said nothing. I admire how brave
you are and would like to agree that no matter how hard it is for
others, it is a thousand times worse for us. Many prayers and happy
thoughts sent your way.
Brooke Bashaw said: July 11th, 2011 1:01 pm
I worked with Scott for approx. 1 1/2 years and it was greatexperience
that I am truly happy I was apart of. I loved the days that Lindsey
would come by the office and bring Ethan in...just for a visit or to
drop him off to hangout with us. Scott and Lindsey are honestly some of
the most amazing people I have met in my life, always happy, laughing,
joking and showing they love they had for eachother and for Ethan. I
strive to have a loving relationship such as theirs. It was a wonderful
experience seeing everyday how much Scott loved Lindsey and seeing his
eyes light up when he talked about Ethan. The days Lindsey would drop
Ethan off with Scott at work were my favorite because I not only got an
excuse to hangout with Ethan for a little while but also see what a
wonderful father Scott was and how much he enjoyed it. I started
working with him in Feb. 2010 and shortly thereafter I remember him
always talking about how they were going to try for a second child and
how absolutely excited they both were after they found out their second
child was on the way. I have not gotten to experience that joy before!
I never got the oppurtunity to meet Max but I remember hanging up
pictures on the wall above Scott's desk so when he returned from his
short time off he would see them and know how excited we all were for
them both. Each day was a new experience and I loved being able to
share in the stories of them having a new baby in the house. After
finding out what had happened my heart broke for Lindsey, Scott and
Ethan. It is something I cannot imagine going through or even associate
any feelings with. It didnt seem fair to me because of what wonderful
people and wonderful parents Lindsey and Scott are. I think about you
guys often and hope that you are finding the strength in eachother and
through family and friends to cope during this difficult time. I will
always keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Ashley Eller said: July 11th, 2011 12:25 pm
Mrs. McFall,
You were one of my favorite teachers in high school. I love your dry
sense of humor and I feel like you helped shape me as a person. I felt
so cool my first few months of college that you took the time to
Facebook chat with me about silly things, but also serious ones. Then,
when I ran into you at Target over winter break, I believe, and you told
me you were pregnant, I was so happy for you. All of us in fourth hour
wanted you to get pregnant all year. I saw you as an awesome mom and
role model and was so glad that you would have a chance to mold another
great little boy.
I heard about your loss when I was sitting at my friend's pool and I was
speechless, in complete shock. You're such a good person and I couldn't
imagine what you were going through. Like in your post from July 9th, I
didn't want to say anything because I didn't know what to say; I didn't
know your whole story and I didn't want to be nosey. But after reading
your website and knowing more of what you have gone through, I feel so
deeply sorry for you.
You, and your family, did NOT deserve this.
I think I say this for all your students when I say Thank You, and We
Love You.
You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Meghan McConville said: July 11th, 2011 11:39 am
I am a firm believer in the power of the written word to cleanse and
allow our brains a bit of room. Thank you for your honesty. I have
experienced loss, but will not try to imagine your experience with this.
It would be an insult to both of us and the lives we mourn. I will say
that the range of emotions that you will continue to feel on this road
that you and your family are now destined to follow will run the gamut.
Anger is right up there and has its place. But know your ability to
convey that emotion eloquently and with grace is something rare. So I
applaud you taking the time and energy to allow so many people into
these moments that for so long and for so many, are had behind closed
doors without anyone knowing their true pain. It is raw and hard to
face, but it is a testament to your love for your family and the impact
that Max had on everyone.
Mindy Eddleman said: July 9th, 2011 10:50 pm
You do not know me but I went to nursing school with Lori and saw your
website link on FB. I delivereed my twins on April 25th and like you am
a constant worrier. I am paralyzed with fear daily that something will
happen to one or both of my babies. I cannot imagine the pain you must
feel and I am so very sorry that you and Lori both have to experience
this. My heart breaks everytime I think of Lori and her little Bo and
now, for you and your Max. Please know that even though we are complete
strangers I pray for you and your family daily. I pray that God will at
least lessen your pain because I know it will never completely go away.
God bless.
Samantha said: July 9th, 2011 10:26 pm
Lindsey, I am so glad to see that you went ahead with the post. I
will say from experience your post will make more people reach out.
Yet, unfortunately, you will also learn that sometimes it's just better
for people to turn the other way.....this is because you and Scott will
find that some people say some of the most inappropriate things when
they are uncomfortable.
Continue to express how you feel, it will provide you with a sense of
release. It will also "help" your friends understand what you need. I
often get told we don't say anything about Mason cause we don't want to
upset you. Unless someone has lost a child themselves they can't begin
to imagine our pain. People don't realize that we are always thinking
about our babies and we want to hear people talking about them. Even if
it makes us cry, we want to know they have not been forgotten.
((((HUGS))))), it was great to see you and Scott today and to get to
meet Ethan and your in-laws.
Leann said: July 9th, 2011 4:23 pm
Linds-
Thanks for telling it like it is....being your true self! I didn't know
the ettiquette of a short termed former co worker barging in on such a
private moments such as his service and so on. I do know that prayers,
love and good thoughts are coming to you every single moment from me and
my family. Max is a beautiful baby and I am so very sorry that your
time was so short with him.
Diana said: July 9th, 2011 2:43 pm
Reading your experience breaks my heart, but it is beautifully written. I am amazed by your strength.
Meghan Robinson said: July 9th, 2011 2:16 pm
Lindsey, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out
to you and your family. I know that he will remain in your hearts
forever and may God take care of him from now on.

This website for your beautiful baby boy is amazing! I'm so sorry for
you and your family's loss. I have a 13 month old and like you, I'm a
worrier. I can't imagine your pain. I read the posts on max's website
and cry. My heart aches for you! I know it's been a long while since
we've seen or talked. Just know I've thought about you daily since I
heard the news. The only thing I know to say is again, I'm so very very
sorry. Hugs to you all from Texas

Wow. This gave me goosebumps reading it and remembering all the days I
saw you during your pregnancy and us talking about Max arriving. My
heart continues to ache for you, Scott and Ethan and everyone who knew
and loved Max. I am always here for you, whatever you need. Love you
girl!

I am so sorry you are too living this horrible nightmare. It's beyond unfair that we won't get to raise our boys. (((Hugs))).
I hope this provides an outlet for you to share Max with the world.

I thought he had kind of a British pop star look when I met him.
Maybe the fifth Beatle? I can't describe how much it means to me that I
got to meet Max when you brought him up to school. I will never forget
that day. I hate what it has to represent now, but I think about it
every day and cherish that brief interaction.

Mrs Mcfall- I still pray you heal day by day. I still cringe when I
think about the pain your in. I still remember taking a class poll on
boy or girl. (I voted boy) :) when I saw you had this website I
immeditly followed the link and read your story. I'm happy that you're a
strong enough person to share your story. You made an impact on my life
as a teacher and as a person. The respect I have for you is tremendous!
Mr Mcfall- you married an awesome lady who is a great teacher.
I wish you all the best in the future ahead of you! Keep on truckin'

Max was a gorgeous baby. This website shows how much he meant to you
and I think it is wonderful. May he rest in peace forever. Hopefully
the memories of him will lift some of the heaviness from all of your
hearts.

I will always cherish the wonderful time I spent with the McFall
family and getting to sing and play with Max. Also spending more time
with Ethan and letting him get to know his Gr. Grandma. Love to all of
you from Gr. Grandma and Gr. Grandpa.
