Hello, everyone! Thanks for stopping by Connor's page. It's been a long time since I've posted anything, so I thought I would just drop a few lines today.

We just passed the 14th Angelversary of Connor's journey to Heaven. And, he would now be 24 years old. It's so difficult for me to even fathom that he's been gone from my sight and my arms for that long. Yet, he truly has. I carry him in my heart each and every day of my life. I'm still so very touched and MOST THANKFUL for all of you who have supported us on this journey through the years. Some, I'm now connected with through Social Media. We were so blessed to have such an enormous support system from all over the world. There will never come a day when I'm not missing my Connor, as long as I live. My faith in God has carried me all these years. There is ZERO question about that. I still have days/weeks/even months, when I get knocked down emotionally. Depression is real, and it is no fun, as many of you also know. But knowing I will one sweet day see Connor's face again keeps me going. I truly don't know how people who do not have Faith make it through a single day. Life can sure knock you down. But, we have to NOT let it keep us down.

We are now into our 14th Annual Connor's Courage Toy Drive, for Monroe Carell - Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. It has truly grown each year, and I am so thankful for that. And MOST thankful to all the donors, as I absolutely could not do it without each and every one of them.

I'm sure most of you know, but just in case you don't....Eddie, Connor's Dad, joined Connor in Heaven on October 19, 2016. He found out early that year that he had cancer, and had a kidney removed. He continued treatment, and fought like Connor did. We were all devastated by his death. Please keep his Mom, Beverly, sister, Tammy, and Ragan and Victoria (our nephew and niece), in your prayers. It's hard to type that, yet, I know he and Connor are together. He is greatly missed but he, too, completed his earthly purpose. Of that, we are certain.

I am now Rhonda Hunley Pryor. My husband, Ron, and I married on March 25, 2017, in a chapel in Las Vegas. We had dated for 9 years, and got engaged the year before on the beach in Cancun, Mexico. God definitely sent Ron to me, there is no doubt about that. He wishes he could've known Connor, but he feels as though he does, through me. And he is a driving force with the Toy Drive each year! He balances me out perfectly. I am so blessed, and so thankful.

I hope you all are doing well. Thank you still checking in on me. I will forever be Connor's Mommy, and I thank God every single day for choosing me to be his Mom.

Take care,
~Rhonda, forever missing my Sunshine Boy
