CODY BRYDGES There's a hush tonight Beyond the edge of this world, there is a place where he has gone. A silence is heard from far away as his leaving darkened the sky. We lost all that was dear to us that day. A family whole, brothers together and grandparents in the cheering section. Anyone who held part of his heart will feel the love tonight. He now walks between the snowflakes of November and carries the sun inside of him. We clearly remember his first step and the one that would lead him away. He had the key to many doors but his time ran out before he was through. We never got to tell him how many times he brought dandelion bouquets. One of our favorite places to be was inside one of his hugs. His friends feel the closest to him at his granite bench. A place he had never been to. There are so many things going on here that needed him in it. There, where you are Cody, we hope someone hugs you or that you feel our thoughts of them. We are bonded for eternity by our experience with him. He had story to tell. Every time we get the chance to speak of his living, we will, still, even now. There's hush tonight Cody's Family
