Graham was my man. The bestest lil man I will ever have the privilege to meet in my whole life. My Wee G. He was awesome!
At night he’d become our Wee Grahamlin and we’d feed the mogwai after midnight so by morning he’d become Grahamster the Hamster again. He loved Baby Boss over all animated shows. How he knew it was a baby on TV only his amazing mind will ever understand. He loved his Ba-ba, his bottle, and was already learning silly Mommy’s made up sign language for it. His Bink-bink, his pacifier, was as big as his head when he came home from the hospital at 4.11lbs. He took no time in making up the weight he was behind on. Making me so proud. He is truly amazing. He’d make this face like “whatcha talking about Mommy?” His smile could light up a whole room.
I will miss watching him take his first step, saying his first word, playing sports. I’ll miss “accidentally” calling him Graham Cracker in front of the woman I approved of him marrying. I will miss seeing his very own Wee Gs. But what I will miss most is dancing with my Wee G. We dance with our Wee G…we dance. You dance with your Wee Gs…you dance. Please everyone with Wee Ones, remember my Wee One, and take some time to dance with them. Dance for my Wee G. I love you so much Hunny. My life is so empty without you. All our lives, from Pa (my father, Michael Barros), to Lucas McCoy, to Michael Skogley, to Jesse Morsette…all our lives are emptier without you in them. Today and every day we dance for our Wee G. I love you so much!
A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. today, May 17th at Anderson Stevenson Wilke Funeral Home, 3750 N. Montana Ave. A reception will follow in the social hall of the funeral home.

I know that right now you are hurting and going through so many different emotions. My heart is broken for you, and I pray for you to eventually have peace and be able to remember nothing but the amazing time you had with Graham. I am so thankful and blessed that I got to meet him, and witness what an wonderful, loving mother you ARE! I am so proud of you and the way you turned your life around for that little boy. Remember all the wonderful, amazing, loving times you got to spend with him. He is always with you. Graham- Fly high sweet baby! I love you and I am always here for you. I love you.

The Dragonfly Story
Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads, there lived a little water beetle
in a community of water beetles. They lived a simple
and comfortable life in the pond with few
disturbances and interruptions.
Once in a while, sadness would come to the community
when one of their fellow beetles would climb
the stem of a lily pad and would never be seen again.
They knew when this happened; their friend was dead,
gone forever.
Then, one day, one little water beetle felt
an irresistible urge to climb up that stem.
However, he was determined that he would not leave forever.
He would come back and tell his friends
what he had found at the top.
When he reached the top and climbed out of the water
onto the surface of the lily pad, he was so tired,
and the sun felt so warm, that he decided he must take a nap.
As he slept, his body changed and when he woke up,
he had turned into a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly
with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying.
So, fly he did! And, as he soared he saw the beauty
of a whole new world and a far superior way of life
to what he had never known existed.
Then he remembered his beetle friends
and how they were thinking by now he was dead.
He wanted to go back to tell them,
and explain to them that he was now more alive
than he had ever been before.
His life had been fulfilled rather than ended.
But, his new body would not go down into the water.
He could not get back to tell his friends the good news.
Then he understood that their time would come,
when they, too, would know what he now knew.
So, he raised his wings and flew off
into his joyous new life!
