This is a blog of my thoughts after the unexpected death of my youngest son. I have started it with the hopes of clearing a jumbled mind. My family as I knew it has changed forever and I do not know how to cope with it, or more importantly, how to help my two other sons cope with the loss of their younger brother. He was the glue that kept them together.

MEMORIES
It has been very hard to post to this blog lately. Memories are many. They pop in and out of my head moment by moment. I want this to be a positive celebration of Tony. Today, Dave and Dane finished their long drive home after a very emotionally draining weekend. I admire their love, honesty, strength, courage and the proud feelings they feel for their brother. I am so proud to have raised such three beautiful sons and am looking forward tcreating more family memories and keeping Tony alive in our hearts through them. I promise, there are some silly stories to tell (actually many of them, they just do not seem to want to flow yet). At times I get some peace from thinking maybe Tony was really stuborn in January and pleasured us all with memories and love for six extra months. I know the last week before the hospital I spent with my baby was one of the best we had in a very long time! He smiled always, his eyes twinkled, we had fun as a family. I will treasure it forever in me heart! I cannot escape his smile, his twinkle and the peace a mom experiences as she watches her family enjoy themselves together.
