Paula Barnes hasn't added a story.
I am just Aintie. I want to share with you the story of a baby boy born June, 1993, a baby boy who needed a Mommy to love him. Try as we all may, Daddy, brother Cody and all of us could not fill that hole in his broken heart.
He lived 22 years in pain, feeling rejection, that nobody could fix. Everyone who knew our tall, sweet, soft spoken Diddums loved him. Or at least liked him, He never had an enemy. He was the best behaved boy, the child never corrected. He was a gift to us for such a short time on this world as we all prayed and tried to be there for him. He never asked for much, he never thought he deserved it. He worked hard, bought his guitars and loved music.
Best Friends and Brothers Forever - Cody did the talking for his big brother Diddums, he was there throught it all and always said he would never leave his brother. He never did. The boys had an apartment together, worked together and were trying to live life on life's terms. Without warning, Diddums could no longer endure the silent suffering.
We ask for help with final expenses, Diddums was cremated. Diddums never wanted anything paid late, we are thankful that the apartment management will work with Cody to break the lease. He cannot go back there. There is a need for adding a wall in his Dad's house to make him a room of his own to go back home. All of the boys belongings need to be removed from the apartment and placed in storage. The Crime Scene Clean-Up Crew must be paid. All expenses that are mounting and overwhelming.
Please help Cody if your heart leads you. Any amount is appreciated.
