Just a quick post today...

Three years ago today we lost our daughter, sister, grand daughter, niece, friend and hero. It is amazing how time can pass and yet seem to stand still at the same time. Our days and years continue to march on with the busy tempo of life -- but we are constantly brought back to the vivid memories of 2004, especially this date. Ironically, although that entire experience is one that every family dreads, it provides us with our most vivid memories of this most remarkable child....months and months of 'Coley being Coley'.


A few messages from our Angel this weekend:

1. Ofcourse the remarkable weekend comeback of her beloved Sox.
2. When Kristin and I were driving to the airport in Miami today (on our way home from watching her Patriots put a spanking on the Dolphins), we came upon the most perfect rainbow. A complete arch with vivid colors.
3. We visited her at the cemetary this afternoon with the kids. As the kids were wandering around the grounds, a sudden, strong breeze kicked up blowing a whole bunch of Orange leaves off the trees. As Marissa, Travis and Nicolas chased them around while laughing, Kristin and I looked at each other with the same thought.... "Coley is playing with her brothers and sister". We watched them for the next 10 minutes just chase leaves and then throw them up in the air. And then they each placed one on her stone. Quite an experience.

Surely our baby is still with us...
