It's been a few months since I've updated this blog. This is one of the last photos taken of Nick before he passed away on February 9th, 2013, just before midnight. I won't say it's been easy, because losing your child is one of the worst things that could ever happen to you. I am sad, a lot. Not sad in the way that I just want to lay in my bed and forget about the whole world. I'm sad in the way that I miss my little boy so much, but I know with all my heart that he is in Heaven with Jesus, pain free and watching over me. So yeah, I am sad. I am grieving the loss of my son. But the world did not end. I am still here. I have a purpose. I have been trying to keep myself busy, not to forget or not to grieve, but to prevent myself from going into a deep depression. I've witnesses this first hand with my dad after my mom passed away. He was so sad that he wanted to die also. I don't want that for myself. So, I keep busy. I am an Independent Designer for Origami Owl Jewelry (yvonnejones.origamiowl.com), and I am back in the gym working out. But now my workouts have a purpose. I workout for the coolest 16 year old I know. Her name is Brooke, and she has Autism. From what I have read about her, she is pretty awesome. You can read about her too at this link: ( www.butterfliesandbrooke.blogspot.com). Thanks Tim (https://www.facebook.com/IRunForMichael) for getting me hooked up with Brooke and her mom Dani. Tim is a cool guy. He created this awesome Facebook page (linked above) because of a cool guy he knows named Michael. Michael has Down Syndrome. I'm not going to tell you more. You'll just have to go like the Facebook page and read about Michael and the great things that are happening within the page and the group (www.facebook.com/groups/irunformichael).
Well, that's all I've got for now. I hope to update this blog more often.
