Welcome to Haley's Web Home. It has been provided to keep people updated about Haley.
Haley was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis/Sclerosing Cholangitis in March 2001. She is listed for a liver transplant in Atlanta. To complicate matters, Haley was also diagnosed with systemic lupus in May of 2003. In Feb of 2005, Haley had a serious bleed in her brain, causing her to become "inactive" on the transplant list. We hope and pray to have her back on the list in 6 months.
On October 1st 2005, Haley died without ever receiving her transplant.
Come Light a Candle for Haley

This week I have made the decision that this will be my final post on this web site.
I have not made this decision lightly, believe me. This CB site has become like a part of me, and the people who visit, like family.
I came to this decision, while on our annual beach trip. A time that always brings great reflection to my life. I think about Haley so much here. I feel closer to her here than anywhere else on Earth. More importantly, this place is where I feel closest to God. And the scripture God has placed on my heart this week is this one.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under Heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, A time to plant and a time to uproot, A time to kill and a time to heal, A time to tear down and a time to build, A time to weep and a time to laugh, A time to mourn and a time to dance, A time to gather stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain, A time to search and a time to give up, A time to keep and a time to throw away, A time to tear and a time to mend, A time to be silent and a time to speak A time to love and a time to hate, A time for war and a time for peace.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-9
The season for this site has come to an end. It has served it’s purpose, from keeping people informed of Haley’s illness, to allowing me to vent, to sharing my grief….it has been many things to me over the past 7 years. I hope and pray that God’s own purposes were fulfilled in my words, that people were touched and encouraged, laughed and cried, and my deepest wish would be that He drew a few of you closer to Him through Haley and her faith, and our journey.
This is not any way near the end of our journey. It continues every day, as we all continue to try and navigate life, the best we can without our dear, precious daughter and sister.
I know by now, after nearly five years, that grief doesn’t vanish. We simply learn how to live with it. We learn to live with the Haley sized hole in our hearts.
The Foundation that bears Haley’s name will continue for as long as I can run it, and for as long as God continues to provide and lead us in that pursuit. I encourage you all to drop by once a month, as we will continue to feature several children each month. I will even try and “blog” there every now and then.
It is tough to say good-bye. I love you all, and my email is always open to anyone who needs or wants to reach me.
You, my friends, have supported me through the unthinkable, and there are no words to say thank you.
I love you all.
Cheryl
