Mrs. Pam...
I don't know how to reach you other than through this guestbook but I want you to know how much it means to still have you in our lives. I also want you to know that I have met an incredible psychic who is now a dear friend. In one of my readings she was puzzled because Kirkland was there and was giving her the name Mrs. Pam...but no last name. I laughed with tears in my eyes and assured her that I knew who he was talking about.
Thalia, my friend, told me that Kirkland spends a lot of much time with you and in fact had been there the night before wrapped in your arms cuddling. Apparently he loves to finally sit in your lap and be engulfed by your love. You are an incredible lady! Thank you for your friendship all these years! Love Kelly xoxoxo

Hi Kelly, I have been spending some time going through your pages and photos since Friday and am feeling a transformation within myself. Your words are so poetic and ring so true. I feel that I have been forever changed and don't know how I could possibly go back now. I know I have a lot of growing to do, I'm mearly in the embryo stage of my "true" life. I thank you for your courage in sharing your deepest thoughts and feelings. I also need to thank your beautiful boy for literally shedding his light on me. May God continue to bless you and give you strength. Tammy

I was watching Oprah's Lifeclass this morning and it was about souls. The episode was from 2000 and Gary Zukav was on. Parents had lost one of their twin boys after 3 days. He was helping them to see him as a soul and explaining that we are all souls and need to see us like this rather than just a physical being. We all have a purpose. As hard as it was and is to have lost you Kirkie, thank you for coming into our lives.I do believe God gave you to us so you could help all the children who have and are suffering with diseases like yours. Look at the difference you have made. Incredible. I believe it was you who nudged me to turn on the show today, as I have only seen the show a few times. Thank you. I love you sweet Kirka.

Dear mom of Kirk,
I am writing you at this week of mitochondrial disease awareness. Thank you for your writing, which I just discovered; through your writing and photos I feel I got a chance to get to know Kirk just a little. My niece Rina Goldberg passed away from mitochondrial disease this past December. There are no words as you know to describe the loss of a child. G-d bless Kirk, Rina and all of the beautiful children with mitochondrial disease. Their lives are for a blessing.

I miss your writing Kelly. I had a pretty good idea things weren't the same in your family situation, but you always seem to still have it so together. I know you have your ups and downs, but you are an inspiration to me. I am still living the "Mito life", and hope to for a very long time, but I do know what you mean by how you are not the same person you were. I am glad your all able to continue happily as a family, even separately.

Thinking of all of you as you pass through another difficult year without the amazing little man who touched so many hearts.

I have been thinking a lot about Kirk the past week or so while I decorated the boys trees (with blue lights of course). I think they were all playing tricks on me because I set a timer on the cord and they keep going out on me so back out in the cold I go to turn them back on and I imagine them giggling. It's a sad but happy feeling at the same time, sad for everyone left here who suffers without them at our sides, happy for souls who are now able to laugh and giggle without the pain.
Stay strong, love you guys,

I am thinking of you guys today as you take another difficult step in your journey. I am praying that this will help you get through to the next phase in your life.

I didn't realize that it is May and that the Mito March didn't take place this year. We also missed our annual celebration at the Ronald McDonald house. I have a feeling this summer is ready to fly by.

Hi Kelly....funny, I haven't been on this site for several months, but thought I would have a look today. I'm very glad I did. Kirkland's final resting place sounds very nice. Keeping it private with you, Gerry and the boys is perfect.

Growing up, I always thought of cemeteries as scary, spooky spots, but now that I'm much older and wiser, I think they are such beautiful places, so peaceful and calming. I like to walk through them and read the various inscriptions, etc. There's so much history in them.

Don't know why I came here today, but somehow I think it has something to do with Mito March, which I understand is not taking place this year. Kirkland comes to mind so often, but especially at this time of the year.

Take care and be well, Sharon.

Well, it would certainly seem as if your writers block has been lifted. Beautiful entry, Kel.

I know your heart and mind have been heavy lately and I only wish that I could help you somehow, someway. But, alas, I sit here and am at a loss as to how to help. I have no words. No witty comments. No wisdom.

I do have your heart in my hands and will coddle it for as long as you need. And I promise to take care that it doesn't break any further. Life long friends. That's all I can think of doing for you right now. I pray it's enough.

Hugs to you...always and forever.

I new there was something special about this week. I loved your tribute to Kirky, Kell. It's nice to see the pain is gone for Kirky but that he still lives on in our hearts & memories and especially yours Kell. And that the gifts he brought have changed everyone forever. Even though the memories are mainly sad & painful, it's funny that the hearts have much more Joy now.

I love the two of you very, very much. xoxoxo

Hi Kelly... I'm just here with Megan at my house giving her the 'spa treatment.' Can't help but to reflect back on the days when Kirkland would come for his 'spa treatments.'

Can't wait for Sunday!! See you then!!!

Great article. The Mito March Fundraising efforts are, and will continue to, make a difference through Kirky's Fund at Sick Kids. Even though I will miss out on the walk this year, I will be thinking about you all on the 24th. I'll have to walk the 5km for Kirk on one of my shore excursions that day. Wishing you guys the best turn out ever. Can't wait to hear all about it once I'm back. Love to all, Sharon.

I realized today that I had missed leaving a
message on Kirkland's birthday. I am sorry.
Saturday little Brody died in St. Louis Children's Hospital
(from Mito) where he had received a heart transplant. I don't think he
had been diagnosed with Mito for too long, and he needed a liver transplant
(which had been denied). Today he had The Brave Little Soul on his page,
and, of course, it made me think of Kirkie!

Happy birthday Kirkie!

What a clever idea to send a caterpillar! Pennies can come from anywhere, but caterpillars don't hatch out of snow.

Now it's time to quit looking down at the sidewalk and look to the night sky at your candles and watch you blow them out when the morning comes. We can't imagine what kinds of cake and ice cream you will have, but I'll bet every child's favorite will be there plus at least one new flavor created just for this party.

I think Mamie will have the archangels busy all night blowing up balloons. She'll make sure they are all the right colors.

Thinking of you over the holidays. I know it would have been a very tough day for you...your 2nd Xmas without Kirkland and the first without your dear friend Pauline. I know, however, that they were with you in spirit and no doubt showered you with little signs from above throughout the day. I hope your day with Gerry, Evan and Carson was very special. Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and exciting 2009! Love to all, Sharon

I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you this
Christmas Day... and was quite surprised to see that familiar
angel at the top of Kirkland's page.
I am wishing your family a beautiful Christmas filled with joy and thanksgiving as you celebrate the birth of Jesus. May God's love bless you throughout the coming year. Merry Christmas from the Preschool Pen Pals, too.

We huddle by the fire on this bitter cold night,
Enjoying hot cocoa by the warm fire light.

While the smells of a feast fill this rickety old shack,
Icy winds whistle as they dance through the cracks.
Surrounded with blankets, sweet carols we sing,
Happily awaiting what this Christmas will bring.

You won't find any presents 'neath our skimpy tree.
Ornaments are hand-made and so is our wreath.
Under limp mistletoe, mom gives dad a kiss,

Atmosphere of joy and love

Merry Christmas to all of you.
Everyone here at our house is thinking of you.
Remember Christ loves you, no matter your worth.
Revel in the illuminating joy of His birth.
Your love is the only gift He'll ever ask.

Celebrate His life and in His light you'll bask.
Holiday giving and the spread of good cheer,
Really is something we could keep up all year.
Imagine a world where it was Christmas each day,
Sounds hard to do, but it could be that way.
This is our Christmas wish for all of you tonight--
May His warmth surround you like a blanket of light.
All your wishes be granted with His blessings of love,
Sent special delivery from the Angels above.

The memory tree is absolutely beautiful. My special memories of Kirkland came flooding back to me last night as I hung his precious ornaments on my tree. When I sit at home with all of the lights off except for those on the tree, a BIG smile comes on my face when I look at those ornaments. I feel sadness, but at the same time, I also feel at peace knowing that I have several very special angels watching over me....Kirkland being one of them. Love and BIG HUGS to all of you....Sharon

I was so pleased to see how well you were doing yesterday while I was there, but wondered how you were going to fare when I left...I knew you had to do it, but it still broke my heart as I drove away knowing that you were probably hugging Tigger before I even hit Delrex.

Everyone has writen such beautiful words here...peace, courage, faith...what more could I possibly add? Oh, how about: Take that freakin' picture down, would ya! LOL

sigh...

My heart is heavy as I try to navigate this journey with you. Never sure what the right thing is to say or do, but figure I'll learn along the way. I promise to lend a hand when needed, provide a shoulder to cry on, ears to listen to you, and arms to hold you. And, yes, a picture to make you laugh when necessary.

For Kirk: Thank you for helping me help your mom!

Hey! I stopped by to wish you a happy Thanksgiving Day and an early Christmas greeting as well. I am sure there will be many moments/days that will be hard during the holidays and wanted to let you know I am here... If you ever need an ear, write to me at my e-mail address and I will call you... Hugs are so very important, aren't they! I never take for granted any of my precious little ones... I do not know what tomorrow holds. Take care please!

Hi Kell,
It is certainly a miracle to see such a spiritual awakening through so much pain when others create so much destruction from their pain.

You are right, you are truly blessed.

Thanks for your entry, guess you know we are all thinking about you and hoping you are ok. It's hard to believe a year has passed so fast, but almost in slow motion. I've been thinking about Kirkie so much lately, so has mom.

Give Gerry & Evan & Carson my love too. I hope your day on Tuesday is a peaceful one, full of God's Love.

Love you to bits,
Julie

Hi Kelly, I have just spent some time reading through your journal (I always checked it from time to time but never had the time to read through the majority of it) and wishing that I had found such a place when my journey through special needs started 21 years ago. I realized while reading (and washing my face) that no matter what the special need we all shared the fears and frustrations of dealing with hospitals, doctors, labs, techs,nurses and no matter how much they helped us they also added so much to the levels of anxiety (and the levels of caring) such a confusing life!!
Since we did not work closely I don't think you know of my kids...Justin(now 21) who spent the first almost 3 years of his life in the care of me and whatever nurse was on that night...a total love hate relationship between the two caregivers...he continued his on again off again relationship with Sick Kids for the next 10 years at which time we finally had a diagnosis and a specialist, who although he is a pediatric specialist has continued to care for Justin into his adult years. Then my daughter Jessica who was so full of life and such a challenge for anyone close to her...was hit by a van just after her 14th birthday, she was in a coma for awhile and then was in Bloorview rehab for months and now has a catastrophic brain injury. I lost my Jessica that day and was given a new child by Sick Kids to bring home and care for and figure out and bring to therapy. I believe that god never gives you any more than you can handle...I just wish he didn't trust me so much !!!!
I figure that my life was pre-destined to be in a hospital caring for others. Dealing with the frustrations and obsticles put in the paths of us parents. That is why I became a nurse and then switched to caring for these other special kids in the school system, to make sure that others kids are cared for in the way that I wanted mine taken care of.
Take Care of You and Yours
Hugs

Hey Kelly, Wow...things seem to be good one day and shitty the next...I wonder why they need the round up of docs ? seems pretty out of the ordinary...perhaps they are just covering thier bases. What ever it is you know you have people to fall back on, including me. A rollercoaster is putting it mildly...I always like to refer to this stuff like an ocean tide, when the days are good the tide is in, and the ocean laps the sand, but when the tide goes out, everything is sucked away with it-violently...and than you start all over again.....
Sending you hugs and kisses.....

As I was reading the old Thanksgiving entry I was thinking Thank God Kirkie isn't going through that anymore and was glad to see you felt the same after the entry. It's so sad that Kirkie couldn't have had a healthy, painfree childhood. I'm so sorry Kell. Losing my words again. But love you to bits.

Hi Kelly, I did indeed think about you this Thanksgiving knowing that it was once again another holiday without Kirkland. Like Anita I, too, skipped over reading the 2006 Thanksgiving Journal entry. I started, but had to stop....I didn't want to remember the bad times that you and Kirkland had. Knowing that he is now with the angels and with all of his angel friends in heaven looking down upon us is the picture I keep in my heart. It is very comforting knowing that he is no longer in pain. I hope that you, Gerry, Evan and Carson were able to enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving together. Love to all, Sharon.

I can totally understand how you are at peace,in the comparison from this Thanksgiving to last...I couldn't read it, but you and Kirk had to live it.

So, I found a lucky penny AND a lucky quarter on Wednesday...and today, when I was sitting waiting for the bus, I found a penny hiding in the grass...and within a few seconds, a beautiful monarch butterfly fluttered by me!! I just smiled and knew it was Kirky coming by to say Hi...had I not looked up when I did, after picking the penny up, I would have completely missed seeing the butterfly...

Happy Birthday Evan...I can't believe you're 14 already!! And started high school too!!

Your school children have one great teacher and I know you have have a great year teaching as well as learning from each and every one of them. Hearing that Evan is in high school blows my mind.

Hi Kell,
Glad to read your journal again. Hopefully your school work will help to fill the great hole left in your heart and life. Your new students will be very lucky to have a special teacher like you. I know you will be able to touch their lives like no one else can. I'm glad you're sharing yourself again. Too much to let go to waste... but a much needed time for grieving and to find your way again. When I think about the pain you've suffered through & not just from Kirkie's illness, but all of it, I get so proud of you and tears well cause I know you are one of God's special Ones. .......but He does have a wierd way of showing it, eh?

Anyhow, very happy to hear from you & totally understand your insular-ness, not to worry.

Hi Kelly,
Kirky will always be with you. How could he not. I'm sure he would want you to have some freedom from grief too because he loves you. I loved your story, someone gave me a penny last week and there are milkweeds growing all around the cottage so there's lots of butterflies always fluttering around. They always remind me of you and Kirky.

I love you sweetie-pie.

I have those moments where I need to feel an Angel's presence and walk outside to the garden, sit on the swing and wait, I sit patiently, I know that eventually I will get a little sign to let me know they are there surrounding me with love, never leaving my side. They are always with us but the best reminders come when we need it most, some call it coincidence....but we are fortunate enough to know better!

Hi Kelly: Sitting here at Coleman with Nan French just reading your most recent journal entry. What a lovely entry to share with everyone. Nan is sitting here battaled by the technolgy that she can be here in Barrie and read your entries from Georgetown.

Nan had a lovely visit wit Gerald, Evan, Carson and Janet. She was so very please to see them. Nan sends her love and best wishes and hopes to see everyone again soon.

Keep a look out for those pennies and butterflies. Love to all, Nan French and Sharon

Just because you hadn't thought about him in 24 hours doesn't mean he wasn't with you! Kirk will always be with you, part of you, and never ever leave you.

He doesn't want you grieving 24/7 and is giving you the gift of 'pause'. I don't think he wants you to feel bad that you've discovered "oh my god, I haven't thought about im in 22 hours", I think it's more like, "Wow, 22 hours and I did ok...he's in me anyway."

for some reason, Kelly, I hadn't read that entry.
I'm suprised that "Road Rage" didn't rear its ugly head with the way Kirkland (and you) were treated!

I'd think that anyone who knows you
would understand the
Grief at the Beach scene.....

Hello Switters!
Man I remember those entries. Seems like yesterday and also so far away. Isnt it sad what some families have to go through on top of everything else.
Ugh I could tell you the fights but why.... SO sad sometimes.
Sending you hugs through my tears at the moment

Hey Kell,

Your latest entry brings me to tears, for the simple fact that I now have a window into your earlier struggles, and because I am now reliving your footsteps somehow ...in someway.....Your grief is welcomed.....and I am here anytime you need a shoulder......Like I said, there is a quiet....peaceful spot up here just awating your tears...and laughter....this place is magic for healing......kisses and hugs....

I think of Kirk everyday, wear my Auntie's Guardian Angel shirt often. I wore it at camp and everyone loved it. I also have a small pic of Kirk on my power chair so he's with me all the time making sure I don't go over the speed limit :).

Love you guys

Hi Switters, for a few seconds it felt as if we were actually experiencing that journal for the first time. As the tears fell I realized that was not the case. I really miss Kirkie so much, but I am glad that he is not suffering like that anymore. Kirkie, please watch over your mom, Evan, Carson and dad. I love you all so much! See you tomarrow!

Hi Kelly...turn up that music and enjoy! It will no doubt bring back all the happy memories and thoughts of Kirkland. The grieving process is different for everyone, so cry, sob and scream all you want for as long as you want. My thoughts are with you. Love Sharon.
BTW, I most definitely do remember that journal entry.
Sharon Kilbride <skilbride@hclaw.com>
Toronto, ON Canada - Wednesday, July 23, 2008 3:53 PM CDT

The irony of how sad tears can be tickelish is interesting...two totally different sensations at the same time. Perhaps can be compared to Kirky's life where you had such happiness having a son and yet such sadness with everything he had to endure. I think his death may have been the same...two extreams of feelings.

I am glad that you felt it was time to listen to his music. Must have been very bitter sweet, yet important. A milestone, really.

You know, Kel, your opening line to this entry made me think that although you may not have an ocean crashing in your life to drown out your sobs and screams, that you have a volume control and music...turn it up, my friend, turn it up.

(although summer is slightly boring
with too much time).
glad you had a good mito conference in Indy with your
new friends. One of my Godsons was married
there a couple of years ago, and I was really
impressed with their downtown and Zoo.
But, we didn't do any mall shopping.

I cant believe NPC is out! What a whirlwind... ((hugs))
Im so totally jealous of you girls at symposium.. I had my tickets booked, room booked, and registration paid when I got sick in May. Im now on continuous O2 and the airline informed me the week before I was going that it would cost me close to 880$ for the Oxygen accomodations on board to be made. I just didnt have it in my budget. I was SO bummed to have to back out, and even moreso now that I know you ladies were there!!

Bah.

Next year.

Anyways, Im glad you girls had a good time and got to meet... last year I think i was the lone Canuck as far as I could find in San Diego so its good to hear there were more of you this year!

It has been busy around here, working in Katelny's garden along with starting a few new ones...never ending! I need Connie to come and weed for me now! lol I love it, even if it kills my back its really worth it.

Great to see that you've updated the guestbook. Sounds like you had quite a time in Indy. Glad you got away with the girls. It's also good to hear that you'll be back at work in September and I'm sure the kids don't realize what a great teacher they'll have teaching them.

Enjoy the volunteer party this coming weekend. I'm sorry that I can't be there, but Harold's brother is here from Vancouver and we're busy hosting and running around visiting his other family members. No doubt the karaoke machine will be busy. Have fun. The weekend is suppose to be very nice...so enjoy.

Please send my very best wishes to Pauline. My thoughts are most definitely with her.

Say hi to Gerry, Evan and Carson for me. Hope you guys have plans for some summer fun...perhaps a few days away camping.

Hi Kelly,
Wonderful to see all the photos from the ever successful mitomarch. Looks like it was a beautiful day and everyone had a fun time. Great to read your journal. Grief does have a surprising way of sneeking up on you when you least expect it. Glad to hear you are teaching. I am thinking about going back to school in the fall. I am so proud of Christine doing the telethon. I hope you got to see it. Sorry to hear about the lab error. How frustrating. Makes you wonder how often mistakes are made. I think a sample of Leo is still in Holland. I hope they will be able to continue to test for his specific mutation. I have been going to counselling. I have found it constructive and helpful. Have you ever talked with a therapist? What plans do you have for your family for the summer? I look forward to July when I will be in Toronto. I hope we will be able to get together with Christine. Love to you and your family, Sarah :o)

I went to the day show at Harrison, Carson was so cute up there(he will probably hate that word haha!)I can't imagine how you felt seeing Kirkland's class...I feel so selfish for having lost it myself- seeing all the kiddos up on stage trying to picture my Shane up there singing when I still haven't even heard a first word, will he ever walk all that crap!!Just plain feeling sorry for myself, Shane his sister's... OKAY!after reading your entry I realize how thankful I should be that he is here, I will promise to enjoy him and his healthy sister's each and every day.Thank you. Sorry I didn't mean to make this about me :) Love ya, Dawn

I'm so sorry about your experience with the skin biopsy. My granddaughter's skin biopsy has not yet turned up a diagnosis, so that's just plain scary. I read on Katelyn's site about your experience with the butterfly during the March, too, a completely different and much more glorious experience. It must be such an up-and-down time for you.

Hi Kelly, It was such an honour and a pleasure to finally meet you at the Mito March. You are really an inspiring person to be around. It was such a sad and happy day all at the same time, and such an amazing experience. The emotion of the day caught up with me too when we got home. We still have so much to learn as Jacob is starting his mito journey. We almost missed the butterfly release, since he escaped and went exploring and I had to catch him halfway across the baseball diamond. I'm glad I made it back in time to see the incredible butterfly release and hear Christine read the legend of the butterflies. I'm glad that my little Mito kid Jakey is well enough that he can run away, although the diagnosis is still just as scary for us as parents.
My mother was very touched by the event too, and during her recent wedding asked the guests to donate to the Mito March in lieu of a wedding present. Another $1000 was raised and will be making its way shortly to the Kirkland Kilbride Research Fund.
Looking forward to getting to know you better.

Oh Kelly, what a day.....I am overcome with emotion as I read your journal entry....I knew that this years march would be bittersweet for you...so hard. I knew that if I could somehow repay you in a small way for your friendship you have given me than the Butterflies would do just that. When I read the Ancient Native Legend, I knew right away that it would touch you -spiritually-... and although I wished for your butterfly to be triumphant and fly up to kirk, it was so special that kirk came down to you, and rested on your shoulder...Amazing really ! ! The symbolism speaks volumes... I am so humbled by the love your entire family and friends have for kirk, and you, and for the passion to carry on finding a cure.
I am truly blessed to have you in my life.....I love you....

Hi Switters...yesterday was absolutely perfect! Such a beautiful day filled with so many special memories. I'm very thankful that you have so many wonderful, kind and loving friends and admire how you are all there to support each other. Christine, the butterfly release was just amazing and very touching...I loved the story/poem too! Kirky, I'm so happy that you came to let mommy know you were there with her...letting her know that you love her and that you're always close by when she needs you. I miss you buddy and love you both so very much! xoxoxo

I'm really wondering what possessed me to think I'd want to go to Ottawa with 3 or 4 busloads of grade 8's and NOT GET PAID!! The only thing I can figure is... that at the time I volunteered it sounded like a good idea and I hadn't been in the classroom in over a year. He's driving me crazy already and don't forget Alex ...it wouldn't be a field trip without him in my group!! LOL I keep saying to myself, "Just think, I could have had three days in a quiet house..." Idiot, I am! LOL

HI guys,
That just makes me sick how parents have to care for their children alone at home and play doctor. I still get angry at the situation with Katelyn, she may not have been on oxygen and some of the other equipment but we had to administer IV phenobarb which wasn't ever done at home by a parent at sick kids, at that time anyway, we had to do our own blood draws and take them to our local hospital lab, our own picc line dressing changes, worrying about causing her any type of infection that could come quickly and cause her death, hook up her TPN all the while trying to avoid the dreaded fluid overload which would spiral into blood problems along with an immediate hospital admission etc, to top it all off we were 4 hours away from anyone who would even consider helping us....and they only gave us 6 hours of help a week because they didn't know what to do!!!..when they finally decided we should have had more care all along it was too late...not that they had anyone our way who would even touch her! It was sad when we would stop in at the London childrens and they panicked in the emerge when we brought her in, asked us what steps had to be taken until the one and only dr there knew what to do for her.

It's pathetic and I really feel for that family..I we are different situations but still, we are all another one to the collection that is uncalled for. I hope that they get the help they need soon.
I better stop now...I think we all get spoiled with the care they provide us at Sick Kids...
Love Deb

Wow...that's soooo cool about the two purple crocuses this year! Made me smile and also brought a little tear to my eyes, just knowing that Kirky and Katelyn are reassuring us that they're totally okay...what monkeys! I've been thinking of Katelyn alot, since late last week, when I saw the first purple crocus while I walked home one day...now I can smile about both of them on my way home :):)
Love you xoxox Miss you so much Kirky...I guess you heard that there's going to be a very special concert this weekend...just for YOU! I know you'll be there cheering mommy on while she plays her happy heart out...thanks for the messages buddy. xoxoxox

Wow, those are some cool pics...leave it to our kids to let us all know they are together and doing well. As much as it hurts down here we can't help but be happy for them, not every child gets the chance to both run around and play after so much suffering AND be able to communicate with their families in such a special way at the same time...
I am so proud of them both. We sure are blessed!!

I was so glad Christine called me to tell me you were going to be on the radiothon. You did such an amazing job. I had a laugh when the announcer pronouced "Mito" wrong - because it is so true that not too many people know what it is! I am so proud to know you and because of you and Kirkland, "Mito" will become a word that people know.

Kelly,
I am so happy (emotionally) that you have come to this place or(realization)about your grief.....As I read every word I felt happier inside for you....You are such an amazing woman, and have suffered such a devastating reality....I love that you can turn Kirk's death into a positive light ...It is so true that you attract what you put out there (into the universe)....If one wallows in sadness, than sadness will be bestowed upon you...but if you rise up, and let the light in, use your positive energy, than your life will be filled with joy... and only then can you really know the true path you (kirk) were meant to lead....
Wow that was pretty philosophical for me....my head's about to explode....lol....
I loved the movie..The Secret....as I don't read too much...but the weird thing was....I saw this book at Costco..."The Secret to Gratitude."...and I thought of you...and I knew that even though you had just lost your baby boy...this book was something you would utelize....odd to me because not many people have too much to be grateful for after the death of a child....but something told me to get it for you...(a higher power maybe)..so I did...and I didn't even know what "The Secret" was yet..I had never heard of it....so now you are watching the movie...reading the book...and that higher power (In the Universe) has given you new meaning in your life...
Sending you lots of hugs today........and lots of cuddles from Megan too......and a kiss for Evan ...from Meg..Hee Hee...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRKLAND!!!!!!!! Wow, there are so many Angel's that have birthdays and Angel days that are close together. I believe that in some way that's for a reason. Kelly, I'm here thinking of you and Kirk. I loved seeing the pics of Kirk!! Thanks for being a wonderful Angel Mommy friend to me. I just know that Skye and Kirk are together with all the Angels we have come to love and will carry in our heart forever!! ((((((((hugs))))))))

Happy Birthday Kirky...I love you and miss you so much, buddy. I'm having a hard time knowing what to write...Kel, I wish so much that I could've been there with you today, although maybe you needed that alone time. I kinda fell apart when I opened Kirk's page and saw all his birthday pictures...thanks for putting them on today. I love you all so much...big hugs to all of you and tons of kisses for your piggies Kirky. Lots of love from Auntie Tracey

i am thinking about you.. i am thinking about what a hard day tomorrow will be. really for me, it was the whole week leading up to karlee's 1st birthday in heaven, not here with me. she was 2. i went to the cemtery by myself for a long time that day. the kids came home from school and karson wanted to get balloons and have her a cake, that was hard for me. i didnt want to celebrate a damn thing. but i made it a special time for karson, and that has how it has been.
do what you feel like doing tomorrow. i will be thinking of you.
love you lots

You kill me...you're so much like Dad!!!
I just sat here for about a minute trying to figure out what the heck you were talking about. I thought maybe you'd sent this message to Kirk's page in error but them very puzzedly (word?) wondered how that could happen.
So then I thought hmmm...what could she be replying to until I remembered my journal of course...and the question about who's the leader of the opposition. Maybe if I'd previously known that answer...I wouldn't have been so stunned and slow to understand to your entry!!! I'm still chuckling...thanks for making me laugh! Love you xoxo

Sorry folks! Here's the ending.

And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss.

But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland.

WELCOME TO HOLLAND
by
Emily Perl Kingsley.

c1987 by Emily Perl Kingsley. All rights reserved

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this......

When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.

After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland."

"Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."

But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.

The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.

So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.

It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around.... and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills....and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.

But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned."

And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very

When the hell did you go to Holland? Now I'm confused!!

I guess you're feeling a bit like, was it Bobby or Sue Ellen who had that dream sequence back in the 80's?

Anyway...good thing you're a smart cookie...you'll be up to speed in no time, and if not...so what. I bet half the people on this sight couldn't tell you who the leader of our opposition party is.

Relax your brain...I'll fill you in on all the important Oscar stuff tomorrow on our drive (sarcasm here)...we have much more important stuff to chat about that I will keep you abreast about!

You're a great Mom and that's the really important part of 'who' you are. Everything else comes after that. I don't know you but I've read your journals for quite a while now and I love how you write.....from your heart - very honest. I can't imagine how hard life must be after losing a child but I think you have the strength to see you and your family through this trying time. Take care of yourself.

Love & Peace,

I've just been sitting here looking at the newborn photo of Kirkland atop this page...and I glance at the infant carseat he's in. I smile as I recall that all six of our babies used that seat.
And I've just come from the kids page on the Mito March website where I was just admiring your little Jakoba- she who occupied that seat, immediately preceeding Kirkland. And there's Micaela too, on the homepage- pouring her heart and soul into making and selling homemade dog biscuits for Kirk.
Here they are...still sharing their lives with us... such sweet, beautiful, young girls; making their own difference in this big world! When you stop and think of it, it's so special how intertwined our kids' lives have become. I'm so grateful to have your entire family in our lives.

Actually...probably kinda similar to that which you've just read (or should I say tried to read?) LOL"

Ephesians 2:4-9 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Hi Kelly, I drop in a couple times a week just to check in and see how you are. You are an amazing person and I don't think you give yourself enough credit for what you have been through. I know I certainly look up to you! I found your reading really interesting. Just know we (my family) are always thinking about you guys. Keep up with the writing I think it makes alot more sense to us than you think! Lots of love and prayers, Lynda xoxo

Kelly,
I am one of the people Anita wrote about, I do not have the expectations of your writing and I definitely do not want you to feel obligated to continue the same pattern as you have. I know I am one of 'those moms' so what I just wrote may not be viewed the same as myself but I agree that anyone who knows or loves you will continue to be there for you regardless of your journaling or if you wish to take a much deserved break. Do what is best for YOU....

I do think that you should continue to write somewhere, on a pad of paper, even point form....I stopped making entries in my daily book after Katelyn passed and those feelings passed, never to be recaptured and I wish I had.

Love you,
Deb xoxox

Uh huh.
I don't know how to pussy foot around anything, so I'll just come right out with it;

Kelly, I have known you and yor writing for many many years. Right from your speech on the Mennonites in grade 8 to minny history essays, to your father's euology, to Kirky's euology, to now this. Writing, for you and for most, has always been a creative outlet, almost cathartic. You are one of 'those' people that has always been articulate, writing generally comes easy, and you are able to communicate any thought for the layman. You are most definately your father's daughter.

Then, Kirky came into your life and for almost 7 years you were able to use Caringbridge, this journal, to write about his process, your process, the meaning of life, the meaning of death, and so many many lessons. You wore your heart on your sleeve for all to see. We (those of us who read this site) were voyeurs into your life. Often left amazed, often left sad, and often left happy. You provided us with those emotions through your writing. You can only provide that kind of emotion to us by exuding your own amazement, pain, and happiness. And now...you are drained. Now, you are at a lost. Now, you somehow feel that you still have to be accountable to all of us who have loved and supported you for so many years.

Well, Kelly, I am here to tell you that no one feels that you have to continue writing about anything or nothing. We have been blessed and honoured that you have included us for as long as you did, but, sweetie, your words tell me that you need a break. Not necessarily from writing period, but perhaps from this venue. Maybe for a week, maybe for a month, maybe for a year. Maybe it's time you switched to a writing medium that is personal, only for you. A medium where you don't have to seperate the two Kelly's. A medium where you don't have to explain yourself or your emotions to anyone. Maybe, it's time to write for selfish reasons.

We all love you. We all support you. I don't often speak on behalf of anyone, but I am pretty sure that anyone who knows and loves you, would agree, that you do not need to feel obligated to us. You do not need to feel you 'owe' us. You do not need to provide anything for us. Take a break from us! We're not going anywhere while you do...no need to apologize for your writing, no need to explain...

You worry so much about other people and are always taking care of others. You nourish us with your words....but.... Give yourself permission to stop feeling responsible for our "Kirky Fix". Give yourself permission to take a leave from this site. Give yourself permission to 'figure it out' without the rest of us watching.

I love you very much, Kel.

Psalms 116:1-5 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

Kelly, Thanks for sharing the transcript.....I'm looking into seeing a medium or psychic myself....I feel nuts for doing it but I think it will help. My writing also totally changed after Skye went to Heaven. I felt like I didn't have that same spark in my writing and it was weird not to write updates about Skye, eventually though it all came back. I write another blog so if you ever interested let me know I'll be happy to share it with you. It's the pits we are wakling this journey together but I'm glad to know you, you're incredible in everyway! With all the signs I've been getting from Skye lately I know she is just living it up there in heaven with all her Angel Friends. Always carrying Kirk in my heart! Much love and hope!

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Man, that represents a tonne of work! Very interesting read, for sure. I have to agree with the idea of you resting...you wont listen to us mere mortals here on earth, so hopefully you will take the advisement of your spiritual 'guides' and...just rest. Way to go, Bob!

Your 'grieving' issues are alot clearer now, don't you think? Kirk really has taught you well and prepared you in a way that so few could accept...I'm so glad that Karen was able to articulate Kirk's feelings about that. I'm thinking that it's not that you're 'strong' or 'coping' or 'brave' during this time, but you are...accepting. Yes, accepting, that's the word. A whole different kind of 'grief'...I think we need a different word for you, one that isn't so negative. Don't get me wrong, I know there are times (poor Gale,lol) and grief is the right word, but there is something, something....something that encompasses understanding with peace with acceptance with nourishment. Aha...you're going to find that new word when you write your book.

Sorry I've been away from the computer for a few days. Still been praying but wanted to share such special verses that remind us all that much more importantly the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for each of us perfectly according to His Will.
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Hey there... Don't worry about not asking me about the poem, I am honored you chose to post it. :) I have been thinking about you, wondering how you are doing. I think it is often hard for people to understand the "peace" one might feel when a loved one passes away when we as Christians know they are in a much better place without suffering or sorrow. Like you mentioned, it is we who are left behind and have to deal with the lonely feeling. I have had a miscarriage at almost 4 months so have a tiny glimpse of losing a child, nothing as you have gone through, and yet, as a person with strong faith I would like to believe I too would have peace about my child leaving this earth. I am sure there are and will be times of contemplation and times that you miss your little guy though... Anyway, I am going on here... Please know I am here if you ever need a friend.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Hi Kelly
that was a nice message.
I love the way Kirkie and you are looking at each other.
and holding hands.

We are having our first Snow Day
this year (school year, that is). So
I will be staying put all weekend while
the weather hopefully warms up, and
will head to the post office on Tuesday
with your letter that is now at school.

prayers and love from Mrs. Pam

Thanks for signing my guestbook, I sure missed your motherly advice. :)

Yeah I guess it's a good thing the Ra's are more aware of things, campus security is too kinda. The don got a little annoyed with me , because I couldn't remember anything ie if I got hurt or not. Now I have a meeting on Thursday with somebody from REz and my advisor and a nurse. Hmm not really looking foward to that at all I'll let you know how it goes though.

This is a long section. Most of it is one sentence! I decided as long as I was quoting that much I might as well include one more sentence. Know that I'm here praying!
Ephesians 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

I wonder how I ever conducted the training sessions with upper management the way I used to!! I still can't seem to concentrate on anything for long periods of time, thats part of the reason I stayed with my old job...I'm still waiting for this to pass...it gets so frustrating as time passes.

Hi Switters, I am glad you shared your last moments with Kirkie. After reading it, I realized why I have been feeling low and sad this week. I thought it was a flu bug or something but it's not. I've been missing Kirkie alot and I just needed to realize it. I keep try to convince myself that everything is okay with me but I guess I've just needed to let it out. Well I have now, so thank you. I know you tell me that things happen for a reason, and more and more I am beginning to realize this. The books are helping too. You have always been here for me and please know that I am here for you and will do anything I can to help. I love all so much. Forever and Always, Rob xo I hope that your day goes well. xoxo

Hey Kelly, Gerry , Evan and Carson,

What a powerful entry :)
I woke around the time Kirk passed , I think it was his way of saying "Auntie Ashlee I'm here now with Boo" .

Well school is back in full swing, I have a heavier course load this time around twenty hours a week. My phramacology teacher is out of this world cool , she'll go to the end of the earth to accomodate me, she even let me have her desk because my chair actually fits under it.

Okay hope things are well with you guys love you all so much.

Love Ash XXXOOO www.caringbridge.org/canada/ashlee

Kelly , when are you writing that book! I heard that about that night in person from you , but its still pretty fresh, in my mind. I will never forget that morning when I checked CB site to find Kirk had passed. The tears would not stop flowing that day. I was a mess, only imagining what was happening in your home,Feeling relief when I knew Kirk was with his other angel friends.We love you all, and are here for you.

Kelly-

I have followed Kirkland's journey from Eli's site. What beautiful powerful words. You are an amazing mother, as a mother of 3 small kids myself I can only imagine your pain. Through your journal entries I feel like in some small way I have gotten to know you and your family. You sure do have one special angel now looking after you.

Hi Kelly --
I don't believe I've written before. I only recently found your site just before Kirkland became an angel. But I had to write when I read your latest entry, as it reminded me of our last hours with our precious angel girl, Michaela Rae, who also had mito. Although it's been over 4 years, I continue to be so thankful for our last moments with our daughter. It seems that your last minutes with Kirkland were so special.

Kelly, Thank you so very much for sharing your family's love with us. I am sure Kirkland was so full of love and comfort it made his journey that much easier to his new start where he could run free. I am very proud to say I know you Kirkland.
BTW...could you send me an autograph...before you're too big and famous ya know.

Hey,Kel...I feel bad for not signing on here lately, but my computer is still in repair and I RARELY get to use Scott's, so I appologize. You are always near to my head and heart.

Reading your entry today...although I know what 'happened next' (some idiot woke you from a sound sleep), I still feel like I need to read your words. Have I told you lately what an awesome writer you are? You're dad is proud!

Regarding the lovely pic of us at the concert. Man, since you've posted my picture, I have been hounded by autograph seekers non-stop! Who ever thought that the back of my head was so recognizable? LOL

Looking forward to band practice and dinner tomorrow night! MISS YOU!!

Hei hei Kelly. Thata girl, one day at a time. I think about you each and every. I'm trying to get back into the swing of teaching this week. The saving grace is that none of the students is particularly ready to start again either; at least, there wasn't much practicing over the holidays. lol Still doing physio 2x week, trying to get ankle and hip stronger. Hang in there, kiddo. Lots of hugs, Maire & Kasey

Am sharing two verses today. The second verse is God's own interpretation of the first verse. When dealing with all the "floods" and vehement winds beating upon us, there is only One Sure Foundation. Praying so as you face these "floods."
Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Hi Switters, I am hoping that today was not as difficult as you may have thought. Ange was busy this weekend putting down a new floor in the living, dining and family room. No more carpet!!! It looks so much cleaner and nicer. Anyway if you want a visit or need to get out you know where I am. Maybe one Monday you can come and watch Maddie at swimming...she'd like that. I'll talk to you soon. Hope the guys had a good 1st day back at school. Forever and Always, Rob xoxoxo

Hi Kelly,
You never know what a day can bring. Sometimes a surprise, sometimes not. I hope it's a good one. I know you miss Kirky, it must be awful, but remember he is all around you and with you in the most important way. Sometimes people find that greif therapy groups are very good for them. I've never been, but have heard many good things about them.
I love you.

Will it make the day easier or go quicker, no unfortunately but I hope you know how very much you are loved by your family and friends and how very proud of you Kirkland is while he is watching over you.

A friend sent me this passage today and I thought it was especially good. There's nothing more comforting in life than knowing the source of our salvation. Know that I'm still praying!
Romans 3:21-26 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Isaiah 49:13-16a Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands...

As the new year begins everyone's thinking about time and counting it down. So I wanted to share THE section of Scripture dealing with time. Praying as one year ends and a new one begins. Whatever this new year holds, the Lord WILL be with you!
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
