A 21st Birthday note to my son Tucker....By Bill Gallagher

08/14/1989

I thought about you today
   but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
   and the day before that too
I think of you in silence
   I often speak your name
but all I have are memories
   and your picture in a frame
Your memories a blessing
   From which I'll never part
And for the time I have left
   you'll always be in my heart

Love,
Dad

  1. Tucker,
    Uncle Lou and I thought of you on your birthday. All of your family, aunts, uncles, cousins, new little cousins you havent even met yet miss you a lot. I hope that your day was special and that you know we love you a lot.

  2. Hi "Mom", my heart goes out to you for what you are going through.
    I have a personal reason for stumbling upon this site... I have a family friend who is getting mixed up with a "wolf in sheeps clothing".
    I am curious, if you don't mind answering, how did your boys get mixed up with Matthew? Did they meet them somewhere? Does he "recruit"?...

  3. Response to Anonymous..
    My older son, met Matthew C. Manning and his wife Christa Braun Manning via their ministry website. There have been many recent articles posted on the internet regarding Matthew C. Manning's arrest records and sordid past. Coincidently, they have closed the ministry website that had been inplace since at least 1996.
    Google..Matthew C Manning and you'll find them

  4. I'm sorry again for what you are going through. I've read up on Manning after seeing your blog... really scary stuff.

    (My friend met her new "friend" through other young people that were recruiting on his behalf in a Safeway parking lot. Horrifying.)

  5. To Annonymous,

    When you said "recruiting on his behalf" did you mean recruiting for Manning or someone like Manning? Did have more info on who the young people might be?
