Hey Little Man,the sun is shining ,the birds are chirping and the sun is melting the snow.I looked out the window and saw the water running down the street and of course right away I thought "wouldn't Conor love to be jumping in those puddles".I remember the times at your house we would look out the window to watch the birds and the times we would sing Mr.Golden Sun.Miss You Baby.I'll Love You Forever.

krisy,
Thank you for letting me come out to Wetaskawin, I had a really great time. When the train passed right through downtown I could picture you and your Conor racing out to catch a glimpse of it. Also as I was driving into town I searched for the water tower that I knew about from your journal entries. I imagined Conor coming home from his hospital stay and breathing a sigh of relief at the sight of the tower. Thank you for the tea, sharing your town and your memories and pictures of Conor.

Hmmm, I thought the childhood awareness symbol was the gold ribbon? Anyway, I would love to have one of Conor's orange bracelets and support Cassandra at the same time:) I found this online today, from a link a friend had sent, and just had to show it to you Kristy....

Aidan

Popularity: #39
Style: Celtic, The -ens,
Nickname-Proof, Saints
Variants: Aiden, Aden, Ayden


Sisters: Chloe, Avery, Caitlin, Brenna, Sydney
Brothers: Liam, Gavin, Connor, Dylan, Riley
It's a fair bet that few of the parents now choosing this name have ever met an adult Aidan. As recently as the late 1980s, it was an obscure Irish saint's name. Today, Aidan's sublimely clean sound is the sound of a generation. In fact, with its authentic Celtic roots, Aidan is now the traditional alternative to names like Brayden, Kaden and Jaiden.



Pretty neat, huh? Under brothers, there he is... Conor (with the double n, but same difference :) My sons names both have Celtic roots also, this was on purpose of course, to honor my Irish/Scottish roots. Are you of Irish descent, Kristy?
Thank you for the update. There is nothing I can say to comfort you...I am just so sorry that he is not snuggled up beside you in bed.
Big hugs,

Tracey xoxo BWC <traceyhewison@shaw.ca>

Hi Kristy, just checking up on you guys. Did you know that orange is also the "awareness" color for childhood cancers? I'm hoping to make a few beaded ribbons before the next Leukemia/Lymphoma walk here in Baton Rouge to try to raise some funds. I've got the beads...just not a whole lot of time. Feel like babysitting for a while? :-)

I was watching Oprah the other day and Christopher Reeves wife was on. She was saying that sometimes she forgets that he's not there anymore. Said that she and their son were about to get on a plain recently and she said, "wait, we should call Daddy before we get on," then it hit her like a ton of bricks that she couldn't call him. I cried through that whole hour thinking about y'all and knowing that y'all must go through some of the same things. So many people were saying what an inspiration Christopher Reeves was. Conor will always be hugely inspiring to me.

Take care,

"To Where You Are"

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory's so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Hi Conor,

Claudia has been thinking about you and talking about you a lot in the last few days. You have probably met her Great Grandpa Conner up in heaven this week. He is really fun...you two should hang out together. She said that he will teach you how to plant a garden.

When we were at the funeral home yesterday, we saw so many little graves. Too many. I wish there were none. I wish you were here with us.

Claudia asked if you would give her PawPaw a kiss for her and wonders if he has his teeth again now that he's in heaven.

We love you Silly.

Kristy,
Thank you for stopping in Katja's page and signing. Connor is a gorgeous boy, just Katja's age. I am glad I wrote what I have been thinking for the past four years. My husband would have preferred I not rock the boat. I have never been one to “sugar coat” anything, so why start now. I do not believe you are the one who drove those “friends” away. Everything we did and endured took incredible strength and courage. Apparently, picking up a phone takes courage. We were forced to have it; we did not have a choice. Our friends can choose to have it, it is their choice to reach out. I am reaching out to you to let you know you are not alone in all your grieving.

Dearest Kristy,
First of all, thank you for stopping by to visit with us and ANGEL COLBY. You know first hand how these special days are for those of us who wear these shoes! THANK YOU. I just read your entry, and Laura or myself couldn't explain it any better. I felt all the pain, sadness, emptiness and etc. with every sentence. The group with which we have become members, is such a painful place. And worse yet, we all know that this pain will be with us all the way to the end of our earthly time. I just spoke to a friend a moment ago on the phone, and asked her what it is like 15 years out after losing their 3 year old boy. I got the reply that I figured, that it is no easier now than then. And I can somewhat relate to that on a smaller time frame, but it seems like time is irrevelant in a situation like this. Time has nothing to do with what we are grieving, and can not heel it! I feel so bad for you guys, us, and all the parents who must endure this tragedy and go on in life trying to be as normal as everyone else, when we're not. Like you said, we have to face all the empty voids that only our club members do. NO others could totally understand this place, and I wish I could wave a wand and make it so no others joined our club. I'm praying hard for you all, and hopeing that you find as much peace and happiness that is humanly possible at this time. GOD BLESS. Sending lots of love from above - ANGEL COLBY JAMES COLE AND CREW. (FOREVER MISSING OUR PRECIOUS ANGELS)

Just want you to know that your always in our prayers.
Love LaKota and her mom Debbie.

Here is a poem that I would like to share with all the moms that have a love one in that is in Heaven:

My Mom Is A Survivor


My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom...through Heaven's open door.
I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more.
But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal~!

Hi there,
I came across this caring bridge site not long ago, and truly could not read thru it. It was just too overwhelming. I am not a cancer mom. I am a cardiac kid mom! My son was born with with multiple heart defects and is a survivor of open heart surgery (www.tannerlaughs.com) See the thing is, we all thought Tanner was the only lightening that would strike our family. On Jan 13th 2005 my beautiful niece Rebecca was diagnosed with ALL-T. She is 7 years old.
I cant make sense of any of these poor children having to suffer, but I do hope Conor can watch over Becca. www.caringbridge.org/ca/rebeccalynn
I have to tell you that the absolute love for your son shines thru and you should be very proud of this site, it speaks a million words, and in my opinion is absolutely incredible. GOd Bless.

The sky here in Washington State this evening was absolutely amazing. It really looked like there were angels in the sky. The clouds were glowing and there was sun and rain and rainbows. Thanks Conor! You should really try and visit your Mom tonight and bless her with some sweet dreams. (((Ford Family)))

hi conor
a year today is when i became a caringbridge reader and some were happy stories and some were dissipointing and sand and wonderful at the same time.
1 year since i heard that laugh on the phone and the entry
''conor is very sick now i will update soon.'' that was the worst jornal entry yet out of all them. i was worried the rest of that day. then that day turned to a day of hell and that day we almost got in an accedent on our way to the library and i was so scared. i almost fell down the stairs that day and the tv almost fell over. today was almost the same people keep on staring at me i can't get my assignments done in class and every time i see people with curly hair i for some reason see you. i cant get you out of my hair. you are everywhere on the way to school after school in school and at home even mor at your house when i see your pictures and i here aidan cry and laugh and aidan's smile and voice and what he likes to play like the thomas game and the cat in the hat game and the silly music that they are playing wright now i think that they need some bon jovi and and the hot chocolat song for the train movie. well i have to go.
I LOVE SILLY BILLY THE MOST OF ALL
I ALSO LOVE SILLY WILLY TOO.

I came to your site after seeing your post on Garrett Burnhams page today. I learned about Garrett only 3 weeks ago and have been so touched by his story. I think it not a coincidence that I came to your page on the 1st anniversary of Conor's passing. My prayers go out to your family today. I lost my older brother to leukemia in 1982 and seeing the pain and suffering again in the eyes of these children brings back so many memories that I thought were long gone. I was only 10 when I lost my brother and now I'm the mother of a 13 month old daughter - I can't imagine what my mom and dad went through. Unfortunately, my mom lost her battle to cancer 10 years ago, so I'm unable to have those discussions with her. Nevertheless, I know it was unbearable - as you know first hand. Find comfort in the memories of you sweet boy and keep his memory alive in the relationships with family and friends; that will bring you great comfort in the years ahead.

God Bless Your family, today and always-

We never knew him but it is evident from this web site how much love and joy he brought into this world in his way too short time here. I'm so sorry that he's not here with you and my heart aches as I read all the places you don't find him anymore- especially the hole in your heart. I hope the power of Conor's love, keeps you going, keeps you smiling and keeps you hoping. Just wanted you to know you are being loved today.
love, hugs, courage,

I am thinking of Connor today, as most days. My nephew that died at age 12 was born on Feb. 6th and my sister has a hard time every year, though he's been gone 12 years now. I know you will always have hard anniversaries the whole year through--hopefully you can feel the warmth of all of us out here sharing just a little part of your sorrow with you. It was great to see you and Aidan the other day at the hospital. Lori

Kristy, Darren & Aidan,

I have been quite the nut lately, just running on gas fumes. Well, just now Conor came into my mind. It just dawned on me that this is the eve before his passing. I remember this day and the next so clearly. How heavy my heart was for you. Gosh, my heart hasn't lost any weight. I know this month must be such a hard one for you. I wish there was something I can say or do to make things better. I just want you to know that I'm still thinking lots about you all. I sincerely hope that one day, February 4 will be a day where you can look back at your fondest memories of Conor and smile knowing what a sweetie he really was, and how he changed so many peoples' lives. I pray for all the strength your family needs to get through one of the toughest days in your lives.

God bless you all.

Dear Kristy, Darren and Aiden,
It was hard to find the words to write when Conor left. It is just as hard to find the words to write one year later. Thank you for sharing Conor's life with us - it is apparent that he has had significant impact on so many people (including myself). Kristy, I know that one of your fears was that Conor would be forgotten - be assured, he is not forgotten and will not be for a long, long time.

Don’t Think of Him as Gone Away

Don’t think of him as gone away –
his journey’s just begun;
life holds so many facets –
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know, today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost –
and he was loved so much.

Conor,

I cannot believe that it has been almost a whole year since I heard your Mom's journal entry on the radio, the night you became an angel. As time passes, days seems to flow into the next, weeks go by, and now a year.. a whole year, 12 months. You touched my heart in a way that I can never explain. I will never forget you Conor. If you only knew how many lives you touched, if you only knew.....

Kristy, Darren and Aiden - Words are not enough. I have not walked in your shoes, I only have an idea of what you must feel ... just know that I am thinking of you, always thinking of you....

It is hard to believe that I haven't written in Conor's guest book once in this past year that I have been checking in on your family. The first time I was ever to Conor's page was a year ago, just before he passed. Conor has touched my heart in so many ways I can't even begin to tell you. I only wish I had the chance to know him personally. I think of him and your family every day and have shared your story with so many others. I know that these next days will be unbearable, but please hang in their, you are an inspiration to everyone who knows you, and who visits Conor’s page. Even though Conor is not here with you, he's by your side all day everyday, to watch over you, Darren and Aidan. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers always.

kristy, darren, and aidan
i know that in three days it will be one whole year since your baby and your brother died. i am so very sorry to think about your many emotions. sadness for knowing that he will never return, and you can never see his beautiful smile again. worry wondering if he is okay where ever it is that he is now. anger as to how and why this could have happened to such a perfect child, as well as the three remaining family members. guilt for things said and done or possibly things not said and done. despair, depression, fatigue, weariness, and even jealousy when you hear stories of triumph over this monster known as cancer. please know that i am thinking about you, and the tremendous pain that this one year date symbolizes. if there were any words of comfort, i would write them, but as there is not, i can only say that i care, and i am thinking of you all.
you are loved and missed so very much conor

You're in my thoughts. You're in my heart.
Conor, I can't believe it's almost been a year darling boy. Our family would like for you to do us a favour. Our puppy died during the week - from leukaemia - just like you had! Harry was very particular that you should look after her for us when she gets to heaven. In fact, he's planning on sending you a balloon later in the week with instructions. Keep an eye out for it.
Kristy and Darren, I hope this week is not too painful for you. Sending you warm hugs from down here.

I have stopped by many times in the pass but have never signed in. Maybe a bit shy but this time you tugged at my heart and touched me with your written words. I just could't leave without sharing with you that I too have felt stuck, it was many years ago but it's never too far away and I just had to let you know that......you are just sitting on the track and resting for a little while. The brakes will slowly release and you will be on your way. Your little engine will always be with you to show you the way and to guide you along for the rest of your journey!

Thinking of you!

Hi Kristy, I had lost this site a while ago when we had our computer fixed. I googled Conor Ford, after that this site was easy to find. Anyway, I havent been able to get you guys out of my head the last little while and have been feeling really down. Now I remember, it is so close to the last time I saw you all. This is likely going to be a very hard couple of weeks for you all. So please, if you need anything at all, please call. I will be thinking of you all alot over the next couple weeks.

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff, oh
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

Together they would travel on boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name, oh

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.

A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giants's rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So, Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave, oh

Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea....


Good night, sweet dreams. I love you, Mom <missubilly@momma.com>

The always get lost though...do you know anything about that? Strangely they turn up in the most unusal places. I love you Conor. I can say your name really well now! I am growing up and doing all kinds of neat stuff. Mommy and I are going to bake cookies now. Mommy and gina wanted to make the sweet potato biscuits, your specialty but, mommy lost the recipe. The one you used to use that was dirty and stained and full of your sticky finger prints. Mommy won't make them again til she finds that recipe. Hope she does soon, they are yummy.

Hello Fords. I love that Dr. Seuss book too--I remember the first time I read it (to Alora) wishing it had been read at my graduation; but your take on it is so much better. Thanks for putting the note about Justin--I hadn't checked on him in awhile and didn't even know he'd relapsed. I got on the Blood Services website right away and mailed my application yesterday to be a marrow donor. I wish I'd done it years ago. I hope they can use me someday soon. Take care.

My heart is aching as I think back to when I first heard about this amazing little boy in Wetaskiwin. I remember reading about him in the paper, and felt sad that such a young child had endured so much. However, it wasn't until I decided to check out his website that I instantly fell in love with this boy whom I have never met with an enormous spirit. I wanted to meet him, laugh with him and play with him. I remember feeling so sad for so long. Now, a year later, that pain is still there for me. It must be absolutely unbearable for those that knew and loved him. I hope that God can extend some strength to your family at this difficult time in your lives. I also hope that Conor shows you that he is with you every step of the way. I know that you will find ways to cope the best you know how and somehow survive. A long and painful year has passed and if life had a rewind button, I would take you back to holding and kissing your son. However, I guess life makes us look forward to the day that you will once again hold your son. Not a day goes by that I don't think of that gorgeous boy who has touched my heart. Peace, strength, tears and smiles in the upcoming weeks. God bless.

Kristy,
This month will hold many memories for you, and for others, even stangers like many of us are...I had such hope for Conor this time last year, we all did at BWC. I just thought if we could pray enough, beg enough, plead enough, care enough, that Conor would make it through. His loss was so devastating for so many. I wish we could have done more. We spoke that one time on the phone, you and I, I wish I hadn't missed you that day. I remember when Conor needed a big plastic tub for baths, I remember your anniversary (and how we didn't know Conor couldn't have any flowers in his room!), how you hated the showers at the Children's, how that stupid nurse upset Conor by breaking his 'rules', how you would go back to the apartment to be with Aidan and how torn you would feel...so many things. This will be a tough month, but you are not alone. We are with you.
Big hugs,

Thank you for that entry, Kristy, it's perfect in so many ways. I always thought that book was a good one, but to read it in your context gives it a whole new meaning.

I can't imagine what you and Darren are feeling right now and will feel over the coming month. But please know that I'm in awe of your strength, despite that you feel week. Also please know that these aren't days that you are counting down alone. I never met any of you, and I have a world-famous bad memory, but I will always remember where I was and what I was doing when I learned that little engine has chugged his last earthly chug.

Hello there,
I learned of your website through the Wetaskiwin Times online (my parents live there and I like to keep in touch with what is going on in their world.) I went to your site and read through your journal. I was glued to my computer for 6 hours!!! I started at the beginning and cried and laughed and felt. I really got a sense of Conor's spirit. You are an amazing mom and I admire your strength in the face of such adversity. I am a mother of two, ages 9 and 11 and I hope and pray that I will never know your sorrow. This does not make me care or feel less any less. The words you have written will make Conor live on and touch people for a long time. God bless you as you find your way home.

To my favorite family,

Thinking of you and remebering all the amazing moments and funny stories and the great laughter and joy that your family showed the world. Remembering the quiet sweet moments just before Conor was asleep and the entire family snuggled into the thin hospital bed, there was such love in the room and courage and hope and a sense of the eternal.
No words speak of the privelege it is to know you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love the hughes girls

Hey Little Man,We had a nice Christmas in Wetaskiwin,you were missed so much,I kept expecting you to jump out and scare me.Aidan has grown so much,he's a very loving child and is full of energy,he sure kept me busy.I pulled him around the house in his slide just like I did to you,I pushed him on the swing,Did you hear me talking to you.Where ever we walked in Wetaskiwin I remembered walking with you.I sat on your bed,slept in your room,touched your books and some of your stuffed animals.So many sweet memories of you.I felt Peace being there,never had that lonely feeling that I feel right now.I remember being i Calgary this time last year,I'll never forget you sitting on the hospital bed waitng for me to arrive,your little face lit up when I finally got there,I still see you so clearly,I got the biggest hug.I miss you Baby.You would be very proud of your little brother,you taught him well.I'll Love You Forever.Nana

Hello Aiden, Kristy and Darren,

I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you that we think of you often and we still look at Conor every day. I found the picture of him with wacky hair and it is on our fridge. It serves as a reminder that not all our friends are here on earth, but in other and better places. I hope and pray that you will all be able to move forward knowing that Conor will still be guiding you along. Over bumps, thru valleys, on long stretches of empty highways that seem to lead nowhere. Please remember that Conor was who he was not only because that was his destiny, but by you and Darren being such incredible parents and Aiden being an incredible brother. It is amazing that you can express yourself so clearly to all of us. You truly have a gift for writing, I hope you can use that gift to bring peace to yourself and others out there hurting. I hope you can write novels or childrens books someday. Now I am babbling, but just know that we are always thinking of you and that you have taught us all to appreciate each and every day. One of my favorite books in the bible is John and IJohn. I encourage you to read these. John has an amazing way of expressing things, just as you do. God bless you all, today and always!

Your entry today was very touching. You are right in that the book can apply to all of us in many situations. My prayers will be with your family as you approach the one year anniversary of Conor's passing to Heaven.

Kristy,Darren,Adian,
I know how hard it must be for you not being able to hold Conor,I wish I could hold my dad again.Conor will find away to send you a sign about the engine.It take's time to heal.I lost my dad Christmas Day and someone told me the other day I should be over it by now,I was shocked I am still crying for my dad today I will never get over him.I loved him and still love him with all my heart the way you all love Conor.They will forever be apart of us forever.I know my dad is taking great care of Conor and my baby brother Jason.They are having a blast up there in heaven I just know they are for they are now pain free and waiting till it's our turn to join them all.Tristan tells me all the time now that Grandpa is now in Heaven with Conor I tell him yes.He meet Conor when he was a baby not even a year old and he always talks about Conor that goes to show you he will never be forgotten by anyone ever not even by Tristan.I Love You All.Thinking of you always
Oh,Kristy Tristan really wants to play with Adain again so give us a ring sometime Okay.I would call you but I don't want to bother you.

Kristy,We thought of your family the other day and thought the exact thing. I became teary to think it has been almost a year since you held Conor. May you find the comfort in your family, let yourself play the waiting game when you need to and let yourself just "be" when you need to. Your heart and soul will guide you along. It is truly remarkable how you are able to remember the most powerful moments with Conor. He sure is beautiful. He has this very mischievious and sweet look that I want to capture in my heart. Thank you so much for sharing him with all of us. He is with you, laughing, dancing and enjoying the sweetness of Heaven. It is my hope that one day you will laugh and dance with him. Until then, he will be on your shoulder as you laugh and dance on Earth. Till you meet again: God Bless.

Kristy,
I bet at some point you will find something that pulls the train, not a replacement for Conor, just a motivation for yourself. It will probably take a long time and even then feel like its not right, but you'll get there. You'll always have Conor in your heart. Oh how I wish you could have him in your arms. Sending strength, thoughts, prayers and love from down South.

Hi,
I thought of Conor this year at Christmas, and your family having an angel celebrating the holidays. There's no way to know how that feels for any given moment, I can certainly understand feeling different emotions at different times. We send our love and support :) and warm hugs from Florida (and I do mean warm, it's been in the upper sixties. Nice!)

Kristy, I wish you were online tonight to tell me a Conor story or show me a picture I havent seen before. :)I have been thinking about you guys so much.

Christmas morning was very special for the Parnell family and for me, as our dear Brooklyn paused from opening a present, took a breath and said how much she missed Conor. Just right out of the blue and without having heard anything about Conor from anyone at that particular time, she said this in her very quiet and special way. It made us all stop and remember Conor as we sat together. Conor will always be in Brooklyn's heart. I know it. I feel that Conor will always "be there" looking out for Brooklyn and will be guiding her carefully and respectfully from Heaven on her journey through life. It makes me feel very good knowing she has a special Angel that will guide her and be on guard for her and I am thankful for that.

Hey little man how are you
Do you know if aidan got spoiled by Santa
I think he did

We went for a x-mas dinner at our grandparents and it
was dark on the way back so we played spot the
Water Tower.
I WON. It was all decorated in Christmas lights.
Kristy i wonder if the mall is open. There will be great deals on cloths,shoes,aidans chocolate egg,darrens kitkat bars and other stuff.


After we went to the farm we went to go see x-mas lights.

fOR X-MAS from my grandma we got tobogons from our grandparents. It was x-mas eve
and we went tobogoning in the dark for a half an hour.
Aidan
soon we can go to a park and go tobogining if mommy gets of
her silly computer. Then after we can go have Hot Chocolate.
Yummy.We might come over today after the mall. Maybe.

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS


God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.

Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

I think we had a visitor last Friday night. Ysabel was running quite a high temp because of an ear infection that she's been fighting for a couple of months. She was sleeping in her infant seat in the den with me on the sofa not sleeping at all but watching her and hoping she would be ok. As usual, my thoughts turned to Conor. And I asked him if he would keep an eye on Izzy if I happened to fall asleep...make sure she was ok. A little while later I woke up to the sound of Izzy giggling in her sleep. She's never done that before. I think Conor came by and told her a particularly funny knock knock joke.

Thanks, Conor, for keeping an eye on my baby girl. :-)

Love to you guys,

What an absolutely beautiful entry about your little angel and the Polar Express. I'm sure that he was right there with you, dancing along. He wouldn't have missed that moment for anything. I also was so touched by your expressions about the power of music. I'm a music therapist and I wish you could share that entry with the world. The power of music is something that is so difficult to really describe. Thank you for doing just that!! My thoughts and prayers are with you over the holiday season.

What a poignant, bittersweet, beautiful entry to read. You can really make someone reading feel your pain and joy all in one breath. I hope your Holidays are peaceful. Conor is with you, I only wish you could feel him in your arms again. I do understand the comfort you feel when you feel his presence. I know that feeling. Still, the realization that they are on one plane and we are still here without them is gut-wrenching and horrific. It's something to think that some children are born and grow up into adults and some just bypass adulthood and grow straight into the wise spirits we all eventually become.

I made some great curry the other night, and told the girls about Conor loving it so much. Although they never met Conor, they all know him. We all do.
We'll be lighting candles tomorrow night, and there will be one there for your sweet boy.

Hi Kristy,

I wanted you to know that I still think of Conor and you often. I just checked back to your website to see how you are and it reminded me of a story I never got the chance to tell you.

The day of Conor's funeral I had to work at the hospital and so was not able to come out. After I finished work I went and bought 4 bouncy balls and had them put into helium balloons. I then released them into the sky for Conor. I figured they would either get up to Conor or they would crashing down on Calgary wrecking havoc (imagine a bouncy ball landing on someone). Either way I thought it would make Conor smile.

I am now only casual on Q-cluster, working instead on my graduate degree so that I can be a nurse practitioner. I am still planning my trip to Nfld - for one of these days....

I'll always keep your Conor in my heart.

I don't know if this is something that you are aware of or not. It comes from a friend of ours who lost their sweet daughter, Sarah, 6 years ago. I know that you have suffered a loss also and want you to know that others still stand with you in support. I urge all those reading this entry to please remember Conor, Sarah and the other children that have gone to Heaven much to early. Please also remember the families and friends of these children who will not be forgotten.
Thank you.

I hope you are all ready for Christmas, I'm sure you will feel Conor all around you, I know this will be such a difficult time for you but I know you will strive to make it magical for Aidan. Quinn has a hockey tournie in Strathmore on Jan 8/9 and I know a team from Westaskiwin will be playing too, I'll let you know how they all do :) We will probably be doing some more out of town tournies, there is one in Wetaskiwin that I was hoping we could attend....I want to see the tower that Conor always loved....and I thought you guys might even be up to coming out and cheering for our team, we would love to meet you and Aidan :) Thinking of you often, take care,

Eating curry will never be the same again and neither will our lives…we love you and miss you Conor.

I came by yesterday and read your journal entry and just couldn't find any words to put here. Your writing takes my breath away, Kristy.

I listened to Forever Young by Bob Dylan the other day and cried and cried thinking of Conor and you guys. I think he wrote the first verse for Conor, the second for Aidan, and the last for you and Darren.

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.


Love you guys,

My dance teacher wrote this on one of my papers once....

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:...a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;..."

A beautiful entry, thanks for sharing. I didn't want to cry, so I ran upstairs and ate the rest of the orange chocolate sticks instead, the next best thing....I am so pathetic! Steve asked me the other day, who do you think is the Greatest Canadian ever? Like Terry J., I said, Terry Fox, he's my pick. I'm so glad you could feel Conor there with you at the Polar Express. I'm so glad that Aidan is happy.

Kristy,

I have to say that I also saw Polar Express with my children yesterday and sitting there in a movie theater in Maine I thought of a boy I had never met. I thought of your son, several times during the movies he popped into my mind and I so wished that he was healthy and that I could read an entry on your site telling me how much he enjoyed the movie. It sounds like he did enjoy the movie though and he did see it with you, and with me. That must be what heaven is about, getting to watch your favorite movie over and over.

I sent you an email but I am not sure you got it. I wanted to let you know that if you were interested my husband (who is the voice of Bob the Builder) could call Aiden and leave a message on the answering machine. Please email me if you think Aiden would like it.

What a beautiful entry. It reminded me about why I started reading Conor's journal in the first place... a year ago. Someone had shared the share the love site (then under a different name) and I'd started reading the listings alphabetically. But Conor captured my heart in that very first day because he sounded exactly like my then 5 year old. It was like I'd found Riley's soulmate and I had to keep reading. So much written in today's entry could easily be said about my son. And it still breaks my heart that there are no new memories of Conor. A few weeks back I was at a birthday party for a boy turning 6. A big group of obnoxious boys wearing goofy party hats and singing in their worse voices and my first thought was a sense of sadness about Conor and what he is missing. How odd that this little boy, whom I've never met, seems to pop up in my thoughts at poignant times. What an amazing kid! Thank you Kristy for continuing to keep the memory of Conor alive and for keeping this journal going.

Kristy,

I love the song, and yes it is a reminder of Conor. Conor was and is a beautiful soul that will always be so close to all of us in different ways, thanks to you, who shared him with us, who unleashed his light and let it shine on all of us. I know all of those memories are there and please share whenever you have one and I am in IM with you. I LOVE Conor stories. It makes him feel more complete to me. I guess since I never met him, although I feel like I really knew him and I miss him, there are holes. I dont have a complete picture and it's one that I want, or at least come close to having.

Conor,
I hope you had fun at POlar Express with Mommy, Daddy and Aidan. :) I want to see that movie too!

He laughs with you on the good days and he comforts you on the bad days. Of course he is always on your mind. Conor was and is a brilliant shining light in your life. His light has dimmed a little but he is still guiding you. You speak his words every time you write and I can almost hear his voice.
Love to you all

I do understand your pain. I understand the feeling grief for what did not happen, such as the Thomas collection new out this year. A kick in the gut, the tight feeling in your throat, sudden nausea, and the feeling of impending tears. The swirling thoughts in your mind. It doesn't sound so painful when you read the descriptions of grief, does it? And yet I have never ever experienced anything in my life more painful than grief. I would have 100 C-Sections rather than have to face grief again and yet I know I will. We all will. It may be a little more tolerable, maybe more understandable because you are absolutely right when you write about how unfair it is that children die like this. I can hardly wait to hear the answer to that one. They say we become all knowing at the time of our own death. All I can say is those answers that I get had better be good. Children dying like Conor did is cruel, bottom line. For whatever reason, it is cruel.

I'd really like to at least end this entry with a true and sincere wish that you have a peaceful Thanksgiving with Aidan and your family. I am sure the food will be wonderful and the company too. Enjoy it all as much as you can. Conor's watching.

Hi Kristy,
I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I always check in to see how you are doing. I had a class in the clinical sciences building and walked by the Stollery a couple of times. I wanted to walk in, but didn't know what to do. I thought of Conor and all the children that have to be there. I'd like to volunteer. I've actually started to think that I would like to teach in the hospital because I know that Edmonton Public provides teachers to the Stollery. Everyone I've emailed has failed to email me back with information, so it's something I am working on. Take care of your self.

Dear God,
How is Conor? Tell him I miss him.

Thought you'd want to know that, even with a short five-year-old attention span, Conor is not an easy little guy to forget...I don't think she'll ever forget him.

Kristy your parenting is very unique, You have taught me that are kids are not just our kids that we are not just there to guide them through their lives and to teach them how to be better people, and to teach them how to be little people. I have learned from you and Conor that they can be our bestfriends and if we spend the extra time over and above, like you did with Conor, we find out the special things about them. We teach them how to love what they find interesting. We can bring out their own individualaity in them. To leave our cleaning, to go play Barbies or to dance crazy, or to paint. If we just take the extra time and treat them like one of our bestfriends. We learn from them! I am really glad the kids got us together. You and Conor have taught us how to be better individualds. You have also taught me how to stretch my patience. It is just the simple things that we do with them, that they really enjoy and we can enjoy, enjoying them! Thanks for being you and for being such a amazing Mom and a awesome friend!
Also everyone needs to celebrate their children everyday

I can remember following Terry Fox's run across Canada when I was a boy, drawing pictures of him too. Ever since that time, I have always thought of him as the greatest Canadian hero. Ever. And I still do.

I've been thinking alot about purpose these past few days, too. No real answers and conclusions, just that any purpose that calls for the hardships of cancer for our children can't be worth it. I don't think I'll ever understand.

Kristy....
You speak of another mother being such an inspiration to yourself. I remember when I knew you, I was inspired by how wonderful of a mother you were. I can only hope that when I have a child of my own I add up to half of what you were to Conor. It is the little things that count when it comes to someone being a good mother. It wouldn't matter if you bought a child everything in the world they asked for, they would love you either way if you didn't. But specially planned picnics or trips to the library or just child and mom walks in the park..... those are the memories they hold onto forever and make them love you even more. I couldn't tell you what my mom bought me for christmas when i was 6, but I remember we used to go for a bike ride together every sunday. I'm not sure if I'm rambling on or making sense, but i hope you catch my point. You are 100% dedicated to your sons and there are a million mothers in the world that could learn from you. You amaze all of us and continue to inspire and touch the hearts of people around the world each time you write. Continuing to hold you, Conor, and family in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Kristy, I agree so much that is the things that were not done, or experienced that hits me the hardest. This year there are hotwheels suitcases filled with popcorn! Kaelan's two favorite things ofcourse are hotwheels and popcorn, why did I not find that last year so he could see it? I even found a hotwheels Christmas stocking, which with so much excitement I bought right away. It was only on the drive home from Walmart that it hit me, that Santa will not be filling that stocking this year. I am thankful to have a friend like you Kristy, someone who understands.

Kristy, I hear the music on Conor `s page only today because usually I am at the cp late and I turn off the volume.It is soooo beautiful. I never hear that singer before but Grandpa Ford is right: his voice is so unique.
Did you know that "What a wonderful world" was one of the songs that we got played at our wedding cerimony?
It is comforting how people stories and memories intervine with each other.
Thank you for helping me taking care of Chiara with all your advices.Tomorrow i will write you an e-mail because I need your opinion on something.
Until then know that I keep you close to my heart.

You and Conor's grandpa are right, the song just fits here and I think that now I'll always think of your little man when I hear it.

So I thought I'd stop by in here to sign the guestbook and what's this? Bob the Builder music playing?? Very cool Aidan, you shake that butt! Kristy, if you have a spare moment, go to Julianna's page and check out the latest Pink Wall of Fame inductees that I put up in the middle of the night last night...there's a celebrity on there that Aidan might like to meet!

Take care,

Hey conor! You know what I remember? How you used to sing hte bob the buidler song to me all the time. Whenever I was sad you would sing it to me. It always made me happy. And remember the time I woke up and you were in bed with me and you rubbed my back and sang me back to sleep? When mommy and daddy came upstairs to get me, I was back asleep and you told them to be quiet and not to wake me up! I remember you saying "Its ok willy, It's allright little buddy" You were such an amazing big brother conor.
I brought mommy the bob the builder cd today and asked her to put it on. Since she was on teh computer she just put it in there, and you know what? Instead of going right to the songs, it played TWO VIDEOS! can u believe that? we never even knew they were there. They were two of your favorites too. "can we fix it" and "mambo number 5" remember the day susan and the girls came by and we danced and danced? remember shaking your butt and being silly? Remember how you danced with me? I love you so much billy. My big brother conor. MOmmy tells me that even though I can't see you, you are always there. Like the moon...the other night we were walking in the dark and sometimes I could see the moon, and others, I couldn't,it was behind a tree or a cloud, and even though I couldn't see it, I could see its light and I always knew it was right there...just like you conor. I miss miss you. I remember yoiu teaching me all the really important stuff. Like about trains and how to say sponge bob and how to laugh and fart and be stinky. You showed me how much you loved me and that will be with me always. You also showed me how to hug and love mommy and daddy and how to be good friend and that girls are the best friends to have! Sometime i rub mommy's face and say "its ok mom" just like you used to. Sometimes I see you in my dreams. I laugh out loud and mommy knows you are there, checking up on me and telling just how much you will always be with me.


Love little buddy, aka silly willy, aidan <missyoubro@seeuinmydreams.conor>

Aaaahhh...that song. What a flood of memories upon hearing that Hawaiian version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow! Last year my daughter was at the University of Hawaii and I visited her just around this time. That song was flooding the radio waves at the time. You could literally be driving, hearing the song, and seeing actual rainbows appear out of nowhere as they tend to do in Hawaii. Warm feelings rushed through me and as I read your beautiful entry accompanying the song, I couldn't help but to well up. How one song can evoke so many different memories with different circumstances for different people. That song instantly fills me with memories of a mother/child bond as well as it does for you. Those memories are such a beautiful tribute to your son...never let those go! Thank you for touching me again today. God Bless...now I'm going back to the journal page to listen and cry again! Hugs from Connecticut.

I sit and type with tears pouring down my face. Your song hit me so hard, and reminded me of the loss of my boy. Your thoughts about Conor not spending as much time outside as he should have been allowed, mirror the thoughts I have whenever great snow man snow falls, or the longest rainbow spreads across the sky, or even when I find a deep puddle just waiting for Kaelan's red rubber boots. I, like you, keep watching the door, and in my mind he will come home soon. He just has to. Those red boots sit at my door waiting, with me.

The song is sung by Israel Kamakawiwo`ole a world reknowned Hawaiian singer with an unparalleled voice. It comes from his 1993 album ‘Facing Future’ and this rendition is said to be one of the most beautiful performances of all time.

Kristy,
I wanted to stop in and wish Aidan a Happy Hallowe'en...what is he going to dress up as?? I was wondering what Conor was up to this time last year, so I went back in the history. It was wonderful to think again of the night that you all went out into the dark night, to the playground and ran around like crazy people! I love that story! And also, you had gone to the library shortly before that, and Conor was getting ALL the train books and he and Aidan were at the table reading together, it is so touching to picture in my mind it makes me want to cry..I remember that was an emotional moment for you and it's easy to see why. I love the La La song and it's another one to relate and remember Conor by..move over Bon Jovi!! LOL
Take care,

Conor is a beautiul child. His beautiful spirit and all your love for him is eternal. It must be heartbreaking to answer the question "How many kids do you have?" , or "Is Aiden your only child?" Is there anyway you can answer "He is our only for now." or "Just one right now."? The person who asks will probably think you are insinuating you may have future children, but privately you can know you are referring to a time when you had your precious Conor with you on Earth and there were 2. This way you are not denying him but you don't have to share your story with every stranger who asks. I don't know if that will help or not. Maybe it is stupid. I just wish you didn't have to think about how to answer this question at all.

I never met your son but I think of him often since reading his story. Especially when seeing a Thomas engine, a blue balloon, or hearing Bon Jovi.

You were blessed with an angel.

Kristy, we all love you and think of you and Conor often.

The "how many children" bit... it doesn't get easier. It's been almost seven years for me and I still feel like I'm betraying the one who's gone if I don't include her when someone asks. Usually when asked how many children I have, I say, "two living," and try to keep the rest quick if they ask. It's awkward maybe, but it feels more right than the other. I know what you mean with that.

In so many ways Conor has changed my life therefore the life of my 22 month old daughter. Conors birthday is the day before my bestfriends little 6 year old. He and you will always be remembered and you Kristy have changed the way I parent. You words always amaze me and I feel sometimes as though I know you. I am so glad Conors birthday was a special day.

Happy Birthday, Conor!
10 days late! Wow. That is absoltely amazing. You are a trooper for waiting it out. I'd have begged to be induced! ;)

My son, Ethan, was born on 9-9-99. Just a month before Conor. My son turned five this past September and I thought of Conor that day. I thought of a couple of other children that would have been his age that very month, but have become angels due to cancer.

They could have been friends under the right circumstances. I wish Ethan would have had the opportunity to know Conor. I wish I had had the chance to meet him.

I am here and checking on Conor's site day to day. Not going to leave any time soon.

Happy Birthday Conor!

It's my life

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

CHORUS:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wann live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting hard make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your owns breaks

Repeat - Chorus

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

CONOR. Bet the Angels in Heaven are helping you to celebrate.
Ask God to send your Mommy & Daddy a huge rainbow okay?? they are thinking of your birth & celebrating with friends.


In 3 short weeks we are going on a trip & Conor sure wish we could have you along. There is a gigantic train store dedicated to Thomas the Tank you could tell us who each train etc is & what it does. I bet you'd even charm us into buying some!!
Take care little man & remember we will never forget you.

Happy Birthday to you, sweet Conor. You are in the beating of my heart today, as always. We are missing you so very much this day, the 18th of October, the day of your birth, and yet, you are so alive today in my mind! I picture you stuffing your face full of chocolate chip cookies and ice cream, and ripping open piles of presents. I can see your smile spreading across rooms of people, and infecting them with that powerful spirit you had from the moment you came into this world. I can see you flirting with all the girls, and talking your brother into all sorts of adventures with your new toys. I wish it wasn’t in my mind and memory alone. But there, in my heart and mind, I will embrace what you have left to me, for they are gifts that I can never repay. Today, we will dance for you and laugh for you and every smile in my own children’s eyes will be a reflection of your most amazing life. We love you with all of our hearts... Yesterday, Today, and forever!

LOVE,

Happy First Birthday in Heaven, Conor... I am sure you are bringing your fellow angels as much joy as you did to your family and friends down here on earth. I will always remember you and the mischevious glint in your beautiful brown eyes. You are missed each and everyday.
Kristy, Darren and Aidan, I know today will be difficult, but I hope you will enjoy being surrounded by all of Conor's favorite things and people...you all share in a part of Conor, be it by blood, or with very special memories of an incredible little boy.

Dear family. I cannot imagine your experiences or your emotions, but I wish to thank you for your sharing your journey. I do not know you, but your story has touched me in ways nothing ever has. I came home from work today after being introduced to this page, and hugged my boy tighter than ever. Through knowing Conor, I have learned to be more humble and keep my eye on what really matters. Your increadibly moving story provided a perspective to our lives. God bless you, and tahnk you for introducing us to your wonderful son Conor.
Best regards,

Happy Birthday little man! Look out for all the balloons heading your way today...I know you will share them with all of the other angels up there.

Conor, in your short time here with us, you taught me so much about what is truly important in life, and I want to thank you again for that. How I wish you were still here teaching us all! But we are still learning. Every time I start to lose my patience, I stop and think about you, and trivial things don't seem so important. A hug seems better suited to fix the problem than yelling does. Thanks for teaching me that.

Loving you always,

^i^ Just stopping by to say my thoughts are on you and Conor tonight. I hope your weather is not as cold as ours is here. Although that seems pretty impossible that you guys are warmer up there. I will bet it is beautiful where you live this time of year. I hope you are getting out to some Fall festivals and finding a way to enjoy the Fall season. I hope your memories make you smile. I know. Not quite yet. I know the tears are still pretty fresh most days. I am still here and checking Conor's page. Wondering how Conor's mom and little brother and his dad are doing, or what you have been working through each week or month. Because reading the pages of these journals helps me in so many ways. Conor's life made a difference to my life.

It's been a while since I visited Conor's site but I just wanted you to know that there is NEVER a time I hear a Bon Jovi song that I don't immediately think of Conor Ford! Maybe it's his little nudge to make me log on and say a little hello to his family! I will be thinking about him even more as his birthday approaches. It'll be hard for you but I'm sure Conor will find a way to let you know he's still here with you and helping you get through the day. Thoughts and prayers from Connecticut.

Hey there guys
Kristy, it's really cool that you posted that wish-list because I broke almost ALL of those "rules". I'm ALWAYS afraid to go back to the pages of kids who earned their wings. I never know what to say and always afraid to "reopen the wound". Now I know what to do :-).

I just want you to know I always remember Conor... btw, is there a story behind only ONE "n" in his name? You wanted a "special" name? Or skipped too many English classes at school? :-D

I'm glad you guys are alright (are you?).

What would I know?! But both you and I (and all Oct99:ers with familes) know much more about life than people believe we do.

BTW did you enjoy my birthday party?? I know you were here cecking it out!!!

Well, the leukemia walk we went on Sunday went well. There were a little less than 1000 people there...a good turnout. A lot of my family that doesn't normally get together got together for this. I talked to a woman at the Leukemia Society and she told me that they raised $48,000. Not bad! Claudia did pretty good...she made it a good 3/4 of the way, then we had to take a shortcut back to the starting point. We brought our balloons home and she sent one to Conor Monday afternoon. It was a very clear day and the balloon was bright red, so we were able to watch it for quite a long time before it vanished. There were kisses for Conor on the balloon. I'm sure it got to where it was supposed to be going. :-)

Hey family Ford,

I was at clinic with Julianna today, and overheard that our Child Life clown Hubert was being shadowed by a woman from Alberta. When she wasn't busy, I went over and asked which hospital she was from. She said that she was a Child Life specialist in Calgary. So of course I asked her if she ever met your Conor and she said that indeed she had! To make sure we were talking about the same Conor, I told her that Conor had a rule that you didn't put stuff on his bed...yup, same cutie! She said that she used to give Conor foot massages. I'm thinking that if she has the technique down, why not massage my aching feet right there. Alas, I chickened out and didn't ask.

This world just keeps getting smaller and smaller, eh?

Take care,

Hi Kristy and Aidan,
We showed your photo at the Signal Hill walk to Dickens the little Doggie and he got very excited and wagged his tail.
He can't wait to see Aidan in person and roll around on the floor with him and lick his nose and make him giggle.

Wanted to let you know that I have a page up in Conor's Memory raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

http://www.active.com/donations/fundraise_public.cfm?key=SSuire

We'll be out walking in the Light the Night walk Sunday evening. Hopefully we can raise some funds to help find a cure. Of course, we'll be carrying you guys close to our hearts Sunday.

Hi Kristy and family,
Just wanted to say how very, very sorry I am for your sad loss. Your little boy seemed so brave and his baby brother is a credit to you. Our 22 week old son was diagonosed with jmml 11 weeks ago, I now see what a terrifying battle he has ahead of him but must remain positive and strong.
My thoughts are with you xx

Hi Everyone! This time last year Krystal came with me and we did a tour of the Railway Museum and walked up Signal Hill along with so many others of Realtime Cancer.We couldn't do much to relieve the suffering of those who were ill but we tried to show we cared and they would never be alone.

Hey Kristy,

Good luck with the climb! (Anything with the word "climb" is pretty ambitious for me). As long as that Pay Pal thing worked, our pledge is in.

Take care,

Kristy, I wish I could contribute to the Climb...know that I'll be there in spirit with you guys. We've kind of reached our donation max right now though because we are doing the Light Up The Night walk for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society here in Baton Rouge next weekend. My uncle is still fighting AML...he's in the hospital right now actually. Just finished up what is supposed to be his last round of chemo for now. He's sort of in remission (if you can be sort of in remission), but his docs have told him that they really do expect it to come back. He's gotten into the "how much time have I got so I can sit back and enjoy it" frame of mind now. They've told him 1.5 to 2 years. We're all hoping and praying that SOMEONE will figure out SOMETHING better to fight this monster before that time comes. So all the walks and climbs...makes me feel like people are really doing something. I'm glad I can be a part of it.

Give Aidan a smooch from way down here in South Louisiana.

I sure wish you were here with us. We'd have so much fun. well billy I got to go, mommy is taking me for fish and chips tonight. she's talked about if for months and I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about!

I am excited for you about the music thing! Nice touch.

Here's hoping something wonderful happens to you or for you on your sons birthday. That way you will know he's with you still. I hope, too, that he visits you in your dreams and gives you the kind of hug you wake up still feeling.

I am really trying not to be too sappy here. But I just typed things that came to mind that I would like to wish for you on that special day.

Just popping in to say hello. I "won" a "vacation" from Rainbow vacuum (that always looks like it's spelled wrong) cleaners last week. Turns out it's a two night hotel vaucher. But Calgary is on the list. Maybe sometime next year I can jump a flight up to see you...drink some margaritas...listen to some Bon Jovi...and have a good cry. That would make having the Rainbow man show me how truly bad a housekeeper I am almost worth it. :-) I mentioned it in passing to Chad earlier this week and he didn't say no, so maybe that's a yes. Not that I need a yes to do what I want anyway. :-)

Anyway...just wanted you to know I'm still here.

HI Kristy,
Just stopped by to say hello. You guys are in my mind as usual. I copied the poem about a grieving parent wish list and gave it to another CaringBridge Mom. I hope you dont mind I let her know it is from you site. Also thank you for the music I find myself coming and turning it on and just listening. Hope you are well. Take care!
