So here it is again. May 18. The day our son Sage died. Four years. In a way it seems like just yesterday and in another way it seems like I’ve lived an entire life since he has been gone.

The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west. I still tend to be impatient and prone to worry. It’s not like everything has changed. But everything HAS changed. I still do and don’t do many of the things I did and didn’t do before but my heart has a resolve I previously didn’t know existed. I work hard but my work doesn’t define me. I do the wrong thing but I apologize. I worry but my worry leads to prayer and trust instead of more worry. I still talk too much but I also know how to listen. Sage and Jesus are constantly with me and I’m proud to be seen with both of them. Some days are challenging but that’s where I grow. When days are peaceful I rest. And then sometimes life happens, I get busy and I lose perspective on what is really important. That’s when God gives me a reminder like May 18. Today I remember who I am, who God is, how much I love my son, how little the earthly things I may have attained matter, and what really matters in the long run.

After 4 years I still surf the wake of tragedy. I assume I always will. I think about Sage every day. Almost every minute. Michelle, I, and our other 2 sons Jude and Quinn have Sage’s name tattooed somewhere on our bodies to make sure we never forget him. That was never possible. Instead of thinking that each year that passes is another year further from seeing him, I think of every day as a day closer to seeing him again. And that gives me peace.

In the past 4 years Sage in his absence has introduced me to a God that was bigger than all the dogma I learned as a kid, more loving than the lightning wielding punisher waiting for me to make a mistake, more patient than the distant being I’d always been afraid of, and kinder than any human I’ve ever met. If that was the purpose of this whole thing I can live with that. Thank you Sage for giving me this gift of hope and the opportunity to share it with others.

Michelle and I still struggle to live without our oldest son. It is a burden to carry. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. That heavy burden makes me strong and when I’m strong I can help the next weary traveler in line. And I have a feeling that that’s what God had in mind for me the whole time. Happy heavenly birthday Sage. I love you and I’ll see you soon.

Brad

A message from Michelle (ThankfulThursday) Yesterday, I turned the page to read my daily verse in Jesus Calling and the only word I saw on that page was May (the month that our Sage died). Typically, when I pick up that little book I immediately begin to settle in and welcome the peace that helps me get through my day. But yesterday morning was different.

I read May 1st over and over but my heart was heavy and my mind only focused on what’s to come in seventeen days. I started to rehearse my trials instead of practicing stillness and trust.

By yesterday evening everything changed. I hosted our Mom’s group and one by one these beautiful yet heartbroken women wrapped their arms around me, comforted me and said Sage’s name. We spent the evening outside planting hydrangeas in memory of all our heavenly children. We even had a multitude of cardinals watching over us. It wasn’t an accident or coincidence that we all found each other. Gods plan is much greater than I can ever imagine and I am thankful. .R.O.W.

🎥 EP4 is available now with guest Tully Kennedy - songwriter, producer, and bassist for Jason Aldean for 26 years! 🎸Get ready to hear Tully share with host Brad Warren The Warren Brothers his unforgettable journey with Jason Aldean, spanning over two decades, and his reflections on performing during the tragedy in Las Vegas 🔗 Available now in audio and premieres at 7 PM (CST) on YouTube. Access the links by clicking 👉 https://goodgriefgoodgodshow.com/s2ep4-tullykennedy or on the link in the bio. 🔴 A Message from Brad about Tully, "Tully Kennedy is one of my oldest friends in the music business. We were both playing on Broadway in back when nobody was there. We have been on the road together, written songs together, had epic basketball and pickleball experiences, and laughed our faces off many times. He and Jason Aldean guitarist Kurt Allison are counterparts to Brett and me in many ways, and we love them both like family. On October 1, 2017, Tully was on stage playing bass for Aldean in Las Vegas, which has been his day job for many years. As most of you know, a gunman opened fire on the crowd from a hotel room, and that night changed live music forever. It also changed Tully's life and most of the people who survived. For the first time, Tully discusses with me the terror, the aftermath, and the bullet that is lodged in his bass guitar. It's intense. It's real. And the emotion is unplanned and authentic. - Brad 🔴

A message from Michelle (ThankfulThursday) I mention Jesus Calling a lot! Over the last four years it has become my life line. It has taught me two invaluable, life changing things; stillness and trust.

Last week, I had a rare opportunity to be with 2 of my closest friends. We headed to the beach for a couple of days for some very overdue girl time. Two of us have lost a son so at times, we dug down deep. We talked about the suffering that comes with losing a child and how, with time, it has turned into longing for our boys.
Sage and Jim were best friends growing up so we have many, many stories of the two of them together. At one point, we even made up new stories “if they were here with us right now they’d be….” And that’s when the waves of grief get you. No one said a word for a bit. The 3 of us just sat in stillness. I was so grateful for each of them in that moment but wanted, needed more!!

I broke our silence and said out loud that I trust He will show up today. Maybe a dolphin will swim by? Well…no sooner did I say that that this beautiful white bird flew up to us! And I mean up to us!!! We were a little nervous at first about his long claws puncturing one of us but it was apparent this bird wasn’t leaving anytime soon. So, we began settling back in and an indescribable peace covered us as we continued to sit and chat the morning away with our new friend.

Some will be skeptical and say that’s a coincidence. And that’s ok. I believe that bird was a beautiful sign. I am humbled that I am loved so much and worthy of that bird. I am thankful 🤍

A message from Michelle (ThankfulThursday) Firsts! We all experience them throughout life. First kiss, first car, first job, first house; you get the point. Then, as a parent, you have first birthdays, first steps, first haircuts, first day of school; the list is endless.

Even now in grief there are firsts. First anniversary, first birthday without Sage, first Christmas without Sage. These are painful firsts that cannot be ignored or celebrated and will continue through my life.

Brad and I have experienced some firsts, lately. A wedding and a birth. Watching a young man (the same age as Sage would have been) marry the love of his life and meeting Sage’s best friend’s baby girl for the first time.

Both of these firsts were gut wrenching reminders of what could have been for Sage but will never be. Yet, what two more beautiful firsts to remind me that life remains and it is good! I am thankful . 🤍

🎶🎙️EP3 (Pt.1/2) is out NOW, featuring the incredible 4x ACM Bass Player of the Year, Jimmie Lee Sloas, and hosted by Brad Warren of The Warren Brothers. 🌟 Both and Brad Warren have tragically lost their sons to accidental fentanyl overdoses, and their stories of resilience and hope are truly inspiring. 💔❤️ A Message from Brad, “Jimmie Lee Sloas is my North Star on my grief journey. He is one of the world’s greatest bass guitar players, and I’ve known him casually for years. If you listen to country radio, you hear him playing daily without knowing it. Jimmie’s son Aaron died of a fentanyl overdose one year before my son Sage. He immediately called me and took me out for coffee, and we shared our deepest faith and insecurities. He was one of the original five men who put the Dad’s group together, filling my soul every month. I hate that he has to be on this shared path, but I can’t imagine traveling it without him.” 💔❤️ Let's come together to honor their stories and spread awareness. Part 2 premieres Tuesday, April 2.

I woke up early this morning with a heavy heart. Yesterday, Brad shared with me that two families lost children to addiction; both in their teens. We do not know either family but we know this story. We know what is ahead of them in the coming days and in the years that follow. We deeply hurt for them.

I could voice my utter disgust for fentanyl and the vile, scum of the earth people who sell it. But one sentence -19 words is all I’ll give this.

Jesus never promised this life would be easy. Instead, he said” In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” In my world, he has shown me love and peace beyond my understanding. He will even wake me up early just to remind me that the sun will rise even after the darkest days. And I am thankful. 🤍
