May

We have gotten through another month, a flood in our house, a visit from a very dear cousin, and more long days. How does the world continue to move on, I don't have an answer for that, but I know that it does. Cyndi had a poem published in The Compassionate Friends newsletter. It was very nice and really talked about Chris and what it means to us not to have him with us.
Alec will be graduating soon, and that is wonderful and painful at the same time. We are dealing with the joys of his accomplishments as well as the memories of Chris's graduation. What ever happens we will deal with it and be grateful that Alec has achieved this milestone. Every spring we will remember Chris' graduation, we will also remember the news we got a week later, that the cancer had returned. We didn't know it at the time, but it was the beginning of the end. From that time on we were chasing something that was never going to happen. But what did happen was we watched a young man blossom and grow and face things no one his age should ever have to deal with. But deal with them he did. We could not have been more proud of our son. In time I know that we will see him again and when that day comes all the pain and tears will be gone, and we will only have the joy of being together again.
