Let me tell you about a boy. The one with the chocolate eyes. His name is Charlie. Charlie has two older brothers, one younger sister, and another younger brother. He has a brother who has what you call special needs. His name is Jack. At eighteen, you could say Charlie’s childhood is in the rear-view mirror. Memories become a slideshow.
What a beautifully written tribute to your boy! Has me over here sobbing! Mine are all out of the house now, well my baby is back and forth till she graduates college, but watching your video makes me feel it all over again. That's what your writing does Carrie, it puts me in the moment, feeling the feelings, so real....Charlie is a good boy and he has a bright future ahead of him....I love that he is able to.come to you guys when he has feeli gs that 💙 are painful and he can work thru them...so many kids take the permanent solution to a temporary problem. Thank you Carrie for this!! ❤️ ❤️
This boy…manchild…more in touch with his being than many men (& women too) manage in their lifetime.
You’ve both parented Charlie with a foundation he can implement in any setting or life transition/stresser. His mainstay= himself! His port in random storms= his folks. His tribe, oh such beautiful sibling souls. His TALENT his refuge & renewal. His spectacularly true and thoughtful heart seems to be the ultimate treasure of “his being” for his own survival & teaching others how to LIVE authentically here on this planet. CHEERS Mom & Dad and Best Wishes for Charlie’s launch to the next season. Hope he can revel for a bit in the accomplishment with some great fun!
I’m a middle child of 5. Charlie is so good looking (all your children are!). He’s going to great things. He’s so well rounded. I love the photos. Such a wonderful reflection of his 18 years. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Simply. Our Charlie.
Why’s that water running down my face?
My eyes won’t stop dripping.
His sweet life also represents my son. Yes, I cried watching, listening to this.
He’s so precious. And still looks like that little dark eyed boy.
He is our, Charlie too.
Time, please stand still.
