Ian participated in MADD reenactment at high school in 2012. He was one of the walking dead and we had joked he was picked at the end of the day because there is no way he could have gone all day without talking! Anyhow, this is the letter I wrote. I had it in his Bible on the day we celebrated his life, just one year later.
I decided to start a blog when our 19 year old son, the baby of the family, fell asleep at the wheel mid afternoon and went to his Heavenly Home. I find writing has helped me through the grieving process and allowed me to connect more deeply with Ian Alexander Pogue. I hope it is helpful to my family, friends and other bereaved parents who want to know more about my personal journey.
