July 31st, 2010 - I am giving away the song, A Father’s Truth to anyone that would like a copy. I appreciate those that have donated to this site and for the song; it has really moved and touched me. Thank you so very, very much. Please know that you needn’t donate to download the song…

Welcome to Always-Remembered.Org. My is Charles Murphy, Jr. and I started this site because I lost a son to SIDS. He was born May 20, 1999 and died July 31, 1999. I’m fairly sure that I lost my mind the day he died. It was a pain that I will never forget and never want to experience again. This site was a place for me to write and share with others. Not so much that I was going to market it but rather, that anyone that happened to come here, that had felt the weight of such pain would see that they were not alone.

So having had a taste of the darker sides life in the loss of a child, with all of its sorrows, challenges, ups and downs, rights and wrongs, I now live my life each day, in the best way that I can, seeking out happiness and joy. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have my moments but, all in all, I have to say that life is fresher, more alive and brighter than I ever could have imagined. In sharing that wonder, in expressing the wonderment of life and love, we give our hearts and more, we are touched by the lives of others. So I started Always-Remembered.Org not just to share my experiences and the experiences of others, their joy, their healing and happiness. Their stories. And through all of this, that in some way we might all assist, inspire and comfort one another.

So Always-Remembered.Org is not about running away from “reality” but rather, in rejoicing in and with the wonderment of life. And realizing that we not alone. None of us.

This site is dedicated to the belief that love is really all that matters. When all else has faded, love remains. Here at Always-Remembered.Org we celebrate life and love. Even through the challenges of our everyday lives, we nevertheless desire to bask in all that love offers.

In time, I hope to create a place for all who have experienced such a loss to come and learn, share and find encouragement, support and perhaps even rest. For now, I am just a father that has found the means to share my thoughts and feelings with others that might be able to relate.

For though they may be gone, they are never, ever forgotten. In our hearts they are Always Remembered.

Yours,
Charles H. Murphy, Jr.
