A family that lives near us had a tragedy earlier this year. Their third grade daughter was killed in an accident at home. Through their grief the parents created an amazing foundation that helps other parents going through the death/illness of a child. Check them out, the site is jaidensangel.org
They have all my respect, and I hope I can meet their family some day. I know that we would have fallen apart if it hadn't been for the amazing support of our family and friends during Paige's illness, and then after her death. They did so much for us. Jaidens Angel provides that kind of support to families who perhaps don't have the strong network that our family had.
We're doing ok. I think that Luke and I should re-enroll in grief counseling. Time is passing, but not the grief. It seems like I'll have to wait so long to see Paige again. I feel silly, telling the same stories, recalling the same memories, but they're all I have. I don't know what's she's like today, how perhaps she has grown and changed.
I can't wait to see her again.

I think that grief counseling would be helpful. No one expects the grief to be gone... Paige will always be a part of you. She is so well loved.

Hi Paiges Mom,
its AJs Dad. That is who we are huh? Always, for ever and ever. Our life sentence. I sometimes want time to speed up too. I totally understand and relate to that thought. But in the time left here, I am going to fight for every other kid so that all the other Moms and Dads can remain Sue and Bill.
Thanks for asking your question on AJs page. I presume you would like the version without the vulgarity? just kidding. Sorta.
I suppose it could be as simple as
Cancer Kills Kids Too to
Equal Funding for Kids - They Die From Cancer Too or
180,000 lost years - This Years Kids Cancer Toll......
what do you think?
