Grayson, you were an amazing young man. I saw in your eyes the potential that you had yet to see in yourself. It was a blessing to be part of your journey. Even though I am forced to bear the burden of knowing your earthly walkabout has reached its journey's end, the sadness is replaced with joy, knowing your new journey will be filled with adventurous shenanigans and your music creation will be boundless and eternal. Keep journaling every adventure. We have been blessed with the promise, and I carry within me the hope that we will cross paths again one day; until then, for now I say goodbye; happy journeys.
Grayson was my best friend. I miss him everyday…I met him at the first few Swuusi UU groups every other summer in Texas. I had known him for so long and sadly was only able to visit him once a year. Then COVID came along and everything in life changed. It was harder to see friends and family, and health was so vital. For so long, I felt regretful that I never got to say goodbye to Gray. But there’s not a day that passes where I do not think of him and the joy he brought into my life. He helped me conquer my depression and problems that I was going through. I miss him.
Rest in peace, Gray. 🩶

I missed so much of Grayson’s and Emma’s growing up years only watching them through the pictures and stories and the eyes of their parents. But I was graced with the gift of spending quite a bit of one-on-one time with both kids over the last several years as they became teenagers. The most memorable aspect of Grayson that struck me over and over was how different he was from his baby sister in personality and how much he adored and protected and loved our Emma. It was like being around anti-twins…nothing alike on the outside and twin souls on the inside. Grayson was deeply loving and connected to everyone in his life. And I truly believe Emma was his touchstone and refuge and foundation that gave him a place in this world to rest before springing back into action. My memories of Grayson will always and forever will be entwined with Emma and the love they only showed to each other. “Miss” is such an inadequate word, but oh how I MiSS that boy! And oh, how I cherish the time I was gifted with to get to know the wonder that he was. And oh, how grateful I am to him for introducing me to his baby sister by letting me see her through his loving eyes. I miss you too Emma, and know you are as special and dear to me as Gray, and just as big a part of my soul. Both of you are in my thoughts…rolling around in my head like little gremlins creating mischief and joy. Thank you Kate and Byron for gifting us all with such amazing children.
So many good memories when you think of Grayson. He was a fun toddler. When he was being mischievous you could see the scheming in his eyes with this crooked grin as he plotted and executed his plan. One of my fondest memories, despite his mother's objection to the abrupt onset of noise, was our random tickle-sessions. He would almost taunt you even after his mother communicated her objections 😂. He had the best laugh, and his smile would light up the room.
