I'm back and slowly getting back to business --
But first I need to share and honor a very beautiful life with you.
My son who had a very rare illness that I'm not going to get into passed away on October 25. He will always be loved and remembered by all of the people that knew and loved him, and all the lives that he touched in the 13 short years that we had with him.
I am truly grateful, and amazed that he allowed me the special honor and privilege of being his mama. My life is forever changed by your smile and your love Boo.
This is a poem that my 16 year old niece wrote for her cousin...
Once upon a time, there was a boy;
His smile warmed our hearts and his laughter was infectious.
This boy was very different than most,
God told this boy,
Will bring people happiness."
Today, that boy went up to heaven.
Now, instead of having plastic and metal on his legs;
He's running free.
Instead of watching in silence;
Instead of feeding from a tube;
Now our happiness is not fulfilled by the things he does,
But having the peace of knowing he is no longer hurting.
Fly with the angels now Boo - and play and run, and eat all of your favorite things. Love on your Papa's little Boo, they are there waiting to play hockey, and tell you great stories. Mommy is missing you terribly, but I know that you were here with us for a reason, and I know you don't want us to be sad.
We took down your wheel chair ramp yesterday sweet heart, because I know that next time we meet you will run right up and give your mama and your brother a great big hug.
Endings can be sad, but they can also be beautiful... and I will always know you in my heart as my beautiful little boy!
All my love,
Mommy
