Well, it has taken 6 1/2 years to get to this point. What do I want to accomplish??????? Well, we are trying to raise $200,00 in memory of Alana and Chrissy. The money goes to Camp Willow Spring--Littleton NC, in order that they may build a dorm in their memory. Secondly, I hope this will help someone who has experienced the tragic death of a child. My "new normal" is just that. Even though it has been almost 7 years since Chrissy died, some days it feels like yesterday and somedays, well it doesn't feel like I never had a child. "Choosing to See" by Mary Beth Chapman is an excellent book that I just read this summer. I was with her ever step of the way. If I could do anything as a result of Chrissy dying, it would hopefully keep anyone else from having to go through the hurt, anger and pain one experiences when a their child dies. No I can' t do that, but I can let you know everyone has their own way of grieving--their own time. You are not alone and their are many who have experience it. Just keep the faith and hold on tight!
