My sweet dear friend....

Today marks 365 days since I've heard your voice, your laughter, or saw that big beautiful smile. I feel a piece of my heart is missing with you gone. I have the comfort of knowing your very well taken care of & that all along God's plan was to use you to change many lives, including mine. Having you as a friend and going through your battle with you has forever enriched my life. When times get hard I think to myself "this is nothing like you went through", or when the kids are driving me crazy I think how you wouldn't give 1 hour to hold little man. You gave me a passion to want to help others. I've continued my promise to help find a cure and will never stop till one is found or I join you up there! I have the pleasure to see little man several times a week either at preschool or at my house. When I get into school & get hugs from him its a piece of you. Jeff is doing an amazing job, I know your proud of him. Everytime I see a daisy I think of you. Everytime I see a lot of the color pink I think of you. Everytime I hear "So What" I think of you. Everyone at the relay meetings bring your name up every month still remembering what a inspiration you were. You forever changed Relay for Life. And because of you so many more people are involved. This weekend we will celebrate you with a Memorial race. I know we always said "We want to be runners but hate to run!" Well as you know I took up running after you left last year. Somedays it was the only way to release my sadness, anger, & clear my mind. So we thought what better way to honor you than to put on a 5k/10k!! Thanks for all the registrants, I know your helping us out big time because we don't have a clue what we're doing!!
I will continue to keep all my promises I made and I dream about the day I see that smile again, and we can laugh and talk like we used to, but until then I hold you in my heart & see you in Ethans eyes. Enjoy it up there my friend you truly deserve it. With so much love..............
