Dearest Evan, This should be the last entry on this site as it expires on May 5th. I hope everyone who has visited it has come away with an intense admiration for the humor and courage you showed during your long struggle with that disease that took you away from us. We all miss you terribly and wish you were still here with us. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you and how you made us laugh and sometimes cry. You will never be far from our thoughts, even as time goes by. All my...

I can't believe a year ago today I held you so close in a hug that I will never or haven't done since that day. I long for the day when God will call me home and your face and our love we will share again.
Even your cat Shadow is on me like a cheap suit today like as if she too is missing you. You were the topic of a good bit of conversation today and no matter what we talked about it always seemed to revolve back to how you said something funny or did something funny. You had a gift...

Happy Easter little bunny of mine. Sorry this is a day late but with Stephen and this computer things still haven't changed. Yesterday was so hard to do but I made it and everyone ate well. I even had a place just for you so you could eat mashed potatoes. I remeber that first Easter in CHOP and how we watched the food network about candy and how you asked for your basket and I wouldn't give in and how the next morning you woke so early and so violently sick. I wish I had known the chemo would...

Hey little man, our first snow is here(1\19) and another big storm due on Saturday(1\22) and I am really missing you. I keep thinking about the fun we would have making snowmen or fights or building forts or even the time you made a living room out of snow on Mike's lawn and even included a T.V. I know Melanie is really going to be lost with out her best friend to help her go sledding or just building in the snow, I'll be waiting to hear about the snow that will just hit your brothers out of...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVAN
I tried my best Evie to do what you asked, the decorating was done and the tree(even though I didn't think I would ever finish that) and we even did Christmas Eve and I can't say it was easy. I kept wishing every time I would turn around I would see your smiling face asking me something like when we were going to eat or when you could have one of your gifts. I think this was my cleanest Christmas yet and I didn't llke it at all.I would have much rather been...

Dearest Evan, Mery Christmas to my "little man". Mommy and Daddy are doing their best to follow your instructions as far celebrating the holidays, but sometimes it is very difficult. I miss you so, so much, especially at Christmas time. I just wish I could see you for a few minutes or even a few seconds. Our lives are so defferant now without you and we miss you so every day. I know that you are going to have a much better Christmas than we could ever have down here bit I also know that...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING my little turkey.
I don't know how the next month will fair for us but I do know what we had last year this time and it seems like it will be unbearable to get through. Your being gone has changed this house so much but I am sure heaven is a bit brighter with you and your one liners up there.
I miss you so badly only God knows how bad the pain is but He says He will see me through it and so I pray. I don't know if there is such a thing a Thanksgiving in Heaven...
