Carl's Corner
by a fellow NB fighter, Raymond. She touched our hearts, as she spoke of Carl as her Hero! Click on link below ~ My few minutes with Anna O'Connor Dove and Balloon Release Journal Wednesday, October 1, 2008 9:28 PM CDT Good Evening to everyone!!! Thank you for checking in, and keeping up with our family as you continue to do!!! Time has sure been passing on schedule, as the calendar months fly off, and blow away in the wind, right before our eyes. It is hard to imagine that Carl has been gone for nearly 4 years. These 4 years often seem a blur, as I try to recall what has all taken place in our lives. I know there has been much, maybe that is why time seems to fly. The kids are growing up on schedule as well. I only hope we remember to take enough time to capture the special little moments in our minds, as time truly is fleeting. Just as you realize where your at, you wonder how did I get here? My parents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary September 13th. Oh my, all those years and memories, so hard to believe how time marches on. Congratulations to Dad and Mom for a milestone in life that they have been Blessed to reach!!!!! The school year is off to a running start!!! This week is Spirit week, so the kids are having fun dressing up and taking part in the festivities!!! Sam is dressing up as a green alien tomorrow!!! What a Hoot!!! Speaking of dressing up, our little Cara Joy has become quite a little Shrek fan :-) She loves Shrek nearly as much as Carl did!! I enjoy when she wants to watch Shrek, it brings back a comfort I remember, as I watched it so many times with Carl during his treatments, and at home. It feels quite natural hearing those famous lines and familiar music in the background, while I am working around the house or making supper ;-) I think we are going to find her a princess Fiona costume for Halloween!!! Bryan is doing Great, he was here a couple weeks ago as he celebrated his 21st Birthday!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY B!!!! We took him out for a couple of cocktails, it was a blast!! Bryan continues to attend the St Paul College and everything is going very well!!! Bryan and I talk on the phone every day, and spend alot of time talking when we are together!! We are all still working through the grief process, each in their own way. The memories of Carl are as stong as ever, we never tire of bringing up funny little diddies that he said or did. I am especially Grateful that Sam's memory has not faded either!! He talks of times and treasures that must be so dear to his heart. At school band sign up last week (will be doing percussion/drums), Sam chose an Orange music stand!! The kids think of Carl daily, and somehow a part of him comes out in our lives every day!!! Last night Cara and I were up at Woodale Nursing home visiting my folks for a little while. They have been there for almost a month, as Dad had some trouble with his left knee, and needed some therapy and a little rest, but the two of them are planning on returning to their apartment tomorrow!! It was something else watching her run around and visit with the nurses, and pop in other patients rooms, and ask for ice cream, and act like she owned the place!! It was like watching Carl all over again!!! So unbelievable, like deja vu ;-) Next weekend all the girls, the Aunties, and the nieces, will be traveling to Ill to visit Auntie Jean & Robyn!!! We also are so excited to meet Robyn & Kevin's new little addition Rayna!!! We are looking forward to a fun girls get together, it has been a long time since we have done anything like this!!! Also Matt & Mandi have a new little addition!!! Baby Tyler John born September 17th!!! He is so Adorable, he looks like a little Robinson Boy!!! :-) I have lots of pics to take and share!!! We hope you are all enjoying Beautiful sunny Fall weather, and holding on to these last few days and weeks while we can!!! The way the weeks are zipping by, it won't be long and the shovels will be out! YUCK, I don't want to go there yet. Love and Peace Kelly Hospital Information:
