I don't want to own this shirt.
I don't want to look at it.
I don't want it to exist.Because the reason that it exists, causes so much pain for my dear friend.
Hallie from Wonderful World of Wieners lost her son CJ in April. Her family courageously participated in an Out of the Darkness walk this past weekend, and those of us who could not attend were offered the opportunity - no, the honor - of buying and wearing a Team CJ shirt.
My heart aches for her every day. I admire her strength so very much. I wish there were something, anything, I could do to ease her pain even a small amount.
But all I can do is wear my shirt, and remember CJ.

I'm so sorry for your friend. That's so hard. I wear a t-shirt for a distant relative. He's 6 and was diagnosed with Leukemia this past April. His outlook is very good!
Wow! I can't even imagine. Things like this just take your words away and leave you feeling so sad. Prayers for your friend, her family and her CJ.
My heart still aches for Hallie... the shock of it all...
I am so sorry. I can not fathom it.
i'm so sorry. i hate that for your friend. good for you for helping spread the message even if it hurts
yes that would be a great honor!!
It's just so sad. I'm happy she has posted a few times this month on her blog.
I am so terribly sorry for your friend. But I'm glad you're wearing your shirt and posting about it. She is lucky to have you in her life.
I am so sorry for your friends loss. I can't imagine what she goes thru every day. May God bless her and her family.
My heart breaks for all of you.
So sorry for both of you.
My sympathy to you and your friend and both of your families. I can't imagine the sorrow of loosing a child.
God Bless You for posting to let us know.
it does suck that the shirt has to exist in the first place. but i think its great that youre wearing it. and maybe when you wear it you can think about the great person her son was, and not how his life ended.
So sad. My prayers go out to your friend & her family.
Oh it is so sad - no parent should ever loose a child.
My heart hurts for her!! =(
Heartbreaking. You are an amazing friend and I'm sorry that you have to wear that shirt :(
I am sorry you have to wear that shirt as well. I read Hallie's post today and commented as well, and was shocked!
My heart, prayers and thoughts go out to her and you as well.
Cherish your shirt, cherish your memory and share....so that he may live on!
((((Hugs))))
I am so sorry :(
I know, it is so very sad. I keep them in my prayers.
