As 2010 comes to an end

It has been very difficult for me to post this fall especially after October. I try to keep my spirits up and hope for answers. There is such a void in my heart for Will to be with us here physically-that will never be. Up until October 2009, 2009 was a very good year-I can remember every month with Will,Aly, Dick and the rest of the family and friends. Good times, no great times then October-what happened? I never saw it coming, I would do anything to turn back the clock to make it not so-that will never be. 2010 was a year of many additional changes and distractions rebuilding a life, a family minus our Will here with us to love, dream, make memories and fulfill wishes for a future after high school graduation-a lifetime as an adult. The plans all up in smoke now, gone, everything we wanted/he wanted fades into the background. It is sad getting college literature addressed to Will wanting him to go the "their" University. He would have made an excellent student-such talent all around; a beautiful person, so much to give. All I can say now is that he attends ALU (Afterlife University). I am thankful for those I love and love me and will continue the journey to find answers to help educate the community and myself in 2011. Now looking to the future to the Spring when Will would have graduated from Gunn-working on another Athletic scholarship and Adopt a College scholarship. Let me know if you would like to make a donation in memory of Will's life. I don't think that I will be able to attend the graduation ceremony this Spring-maybe...Another focus for the Spring and next year is helping Aly with college prep. She likes the change from Gunn High School to Foothill Middle College very much-The program and curriculum suit her. I am so proud of Aly, she inspires me every day especially in how she is dealing the grief and loss of her older brother, Will, her best friend. She has her moments as we all do and takes each day at a time. Wishing you all peace and love in 2011.
