I know this isnt a traditional related subject. But friday morning Jan. 1st I lost my youngest son 11 yr old Daniel Dean Cosgrove in a house fire. He loved to frog hunt with his little recurve and was better at it than me. He spent the night with a friend at his friends grandmothers house. My son, his friend, his friends sister, her boyfriend and there 4 month old baby all lost there lives. And although he hadnt quite gained the ranking of a bow hunter he was well on his way. I'm really going to miss my little buddy he was taken from me way to early. Would all of you tradgangers with kids or grandkids please remember to tell them every day how much you love them and how much they mean to you. Because we are not guaranteed tomorrow with them and take them to enjoy the outdoors as much as you can. God bless

I pray that God comforts your family. You say that Daniel hunted frogs with the bow and was good at it; he was a bowhunter.

I just took my 6yr old daughter on a 4 day hunt and reading this has made this grown man cry like a baby.
I pray to God you remember the good times and celebrate his life and the times you shared with him.
The reason im so emotional is because i just took her back to her mothers house and for the last 4 nights i have held her in my arms as i slept.
Im am so deeply sorry for your loss.
God Bless

I wanted to run away, reading this, but couldn't. I had to read every post.
My gut aches.
My heart breaks for you and your wife.
I'm so proud to be part of a hunting site that would show such an outpouring of love for their fellow man to reach out in this moment of horrid torment.
KNow that God can help you cope. He can take your anger, your rants and your tears. It won't be easy.
Hold on to your wife and bond through this. I've seen families ripped to shreds blaming one another. Don't let that happen Jeremy!
When at the end of your rope, tie a prayer knot and hold on.
We've got your back. May God's peace envelop you and comfort you and bring you peace.
-
Being a father who lost his 16 year old, I truly feel your pain and you are in my prayers. It has been a long time now and I still feel it.

Jeremy,
I felt like crying when I read about your loss, even though I don't know you or your son. I just talked to my 27 year old son and my 25 year old daughter today and I can't even imagine the pain I would have felt the last 14 to 16 years if one of them had died when they were 11. I can't even begin to imagine the pain of losing one of them now or ever while I am alive. That has to be the most horrible thing that could happen to a parent. God bless you and be with you and your family. I know that your son is now with God and Jesus and will have eternal life and happiness, but that won't make it much easier for you when you don't get to spend the rest of your life with him around.

Jeremy,
That is terrible news and you have my sincere condolences. Losing a child is about as bad as things in life can get. I can somewhat relate to your situation. My wife and I lost our infant son a couple years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't wonder what life would be like today if he were still here. Time does heal wounds, but there will always be a scar. Take comfort in knowing that you'll be with him again someday.
Take care and God Belss,
John

God has a plan in everything that he does, as much as we don't always want to hear something like that.

Today is Jan the 11th and I keep coming back to your post because I keep hoping to see you post because it would mean that you've seen how much we care.
It's hard for me just thinking about you getting up every day facing the fact that Daniel isn't there. I pray that you'll be ok. I know it's a hurt that'll never go away. I doubt it will for me either but not anything like as for you. I still remember like it was yesterday attending the funeral of 3 playmates of mine that were burned to death in an old car that my dad and his buddy(the father) had taken the door handles off of. I know my dad never got over his feeling guilty about having removed those door handles.
May God wrap His loving arms around you and keep you nearer to Himself during this very difficult time.
God bless

Although I'm not a pastor, I recently addressed our congregation regarding a traumatic event that occured with my family. Some people ask why bad things happen. This side of Heaven, we simply don't know.
Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong to the Lord our God...
What we do know is that God does not cause these things to happen, but he does allow them.
Lamentations 3:31-33
For men are not cast off by the Lord forever.Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.
We also know that he expects us to learn and grow through these experiences.
James 1:12
Blessed is the man who perserves under trial, because he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised those who love Him.
James 1:2-3
Consider it pure joy my brothers, when faced with trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perserverance.
We also need to trust that God is always present during times when we need Him most.
Phillipians 4:7
God's peace, which surpasses all understanding, will comfort your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in You.
I know that my words provide little comfort in your situation; but, the intention of my post is to offer hope through God's Words. You have a multitude of people praying for you and your family... mine included.
-
Prayers continue to be sent.
God bless, David Camp

Tommy

Words cannot express my thoughts. I wish you peace and comfort in an unimaginable time of sorrow. I will go to my son's room, right now, and kiss him while he sleeps. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing your grief, I only wish I could carry some of your burden. It must be so heavy. I am shedding a tear for you. I wish I could do more.
Matthew
-
I am still praying for you and your family. In Isaiah the Bible says,"Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."
God can and will carry us through anything if we will only ask Him to, then let him.

I read this many days ago I couldn't bring my self to say a word, after all what could I say? My heart is heavy for your loss. My son is my life. I can not image what it would be like or how you feel. It makes one realize what matters in life. I am a dyed in the wool trad bowhunter. It has been the driving force in my life since I was a teenager. Self renewel you know the lines we all do, the flight of the arrow is so inspiring, but in the grand sceme of things its a joke. What really matters is the special people in our lives . God bless you and your family

Willerstick,
I read your blog with a saddened heart. Too many times we lose those closest to us...I took your request and went home...in the middle of our yard I asked my daughter to give me a hung and I told her that I loved her...in your son's memory. Some years ago I lost my hunting partner, my grandfather. Every time now that I enter God's wilderness I am at peace knowing he walks with me. May God Bless and Peace Be with You and Yours.

Its hard to believe it has been a little over a year since Daniel left us. I want to thank everyone again for all your thoughts and prayers. Me and my family are doing well all things considered. Mainly because of wonderful people like all of you and the grace of God. It is amazing to see how many good hearted people there are in this world. With all the bad things going on in this world every day its hard sometimes to see the good. Once again I cant thank you all enough for all the thoughts and prayers. A special prayer will be going up for all of you. God Bless you each and every one.
-
Jeremy,
May I pause and offer you my admiration that in short 12 months, you've surrendered your pain to the extent that you have to Jesus and came here to share that you're carrying on.
You are a testament to what I, at least, can do so much more easily on a keyboard, but you've had to live it day in and day out!
May God's strength continue to bouy you and your wife and family and friends of Daniel and the other family whose loss is also great as you move forward and ....
Keep the Son in your eyes!
Lord in your Mercy...
-
Still praying for you and your family. Always remember, death is only a doorway to a Christian. There is life on the other side. It is very hard to hold to that fact when you loose a loved one, especially a child, but it is still true. You will see him again.
1 Thessalonians 4
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

You will see him agin in a better place. My prayer is for you to find peace. I'm so sorry.
