That is wonderful news! I've been secretly hoping that Cali could be a big sister. :) Growing up as an only child isn't very much fun. I was 11 years younger that the older 3. Sounds like 2007 was a year full of great trips and wonderful times spent with friends and relatives. Hearty congratulations and best wishes for a happy, healthy 2008! It promises to be another great year! I'm very happy for you. (I am looking forward to my wedding on January 5th. I had given up hope many years ago, but as we both know miracles do happen. Unlike other brides, I am in my late forties.....oh well.)

Hi brother Scott and sister Maryla, thinking of you both and Cali today, it was so great to see you in August and lovely to see Noah and Cali get on so well. Was looking again today at the drawing that Caedan did of Noah when Noah was a baby and remembering what a fun visit that was (visit to Whistler, bumper cars at the fair). Lots of love.

Hi Maryla, Scott, and Cali!

Annie & I were looking at your pictures tonight and talking about how sometimes people just get sick. Like Caedan, like our papa... Annie was woried that Cali might feel sad looking at her brother's pictures sometimes but then we decided that looking at pictures help us to remember the happy times, the hopeful times and those moments of perfect clarity.

We're always happy to visit you here because you show us the path. The path after, the path that the people we love left us on with a very sketchy map.

Annie sends love to Cali...

Hi Scott, Maryla and Cali
We are out here on the west coast thinking about you and Caedan. Fourteen is hard to believe, so I can understand Cali's eyes getting wide. Hope the balloon launch went well, unfortunately, we had to delay our annual launch until tomorrow as the balloon store was closed today (we didn't expect that) but I hope Caedan will forgive the late arriving balloons. Lots of love.

I heard that you were at Sea World the same time as our family! I was in a gift shop at the time but my mom said your family was there! What a strange coincidence that we crossed paths there. I hope you had a nice celebration today for Caedan's birthday. It must be hard seeing Jake's class and knowing Caedan should be with them all right now. But I know Jake and Kelsey enjoyed the time they did get to spend with Caedan! Have a nice week,

Happy Birthday Angel Caedan!!!

I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet you, but knowing your family, I'm sure you were one amazing boy.


A Birthday In Heaven
~Written by Kris Smith

I heard you crying yesterday
And felt your heart-sent love
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here)
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me
He told me with a wink
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think)
I’m getting lots of hugs from God
He’s really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat
Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
That make us laugh out loud
There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet…
The magic never ends
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings
We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies


Maryla - what's wrong with talking to geese? Who cares? I hope you can make it up that hill tonight - praying you knee stays strong. Give Cali a hug for me today.

Take care,
~Laura

After all this time i want every one to know that nomatter where you are either here or in a place unknown, no one is ever forgotten. On the day of the funeral as my car pulled away, i saw the stone and i said "I will write a story about you" and i am now forfilling that promise for the verna D. Davis award at Byron South Wood.
There is a quote that i had read in my favorite book series:
Is this the beginning of the end?...Or the End of the Beginning...
I say a lion end, and a lamb beginning.

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.


I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

All my love,

Viks

Wow, is it really December already? Thought I'd drop a note to say Merry Christmas to your Angel Caedan through his book of love and support. Thinking of you Mar and all the Gallagher family this holiday season. Caedan's in good hands, with your mom making those lovely christmas houses with the candied stain glass windows, and your dad contently smoking his pipe and watching with a hidden grin. I'm certain that if the tree in your front yard doesn't get decorated this year that Caedan will have one just like it up in heaven! Those aren't stars, they are Ceadan's tree lights shining bright!
Hugs and Happy Holidays to the Gallagher family!

Hey Maryla, I have a better understanding of what you are going thru, and how lonely it is. My nephew, an only child, died last month in a horrific car accident. His 19th bday is this month and my sister is devastated and still in denial and guilt. The house is now deafeningly quiet all the time & she has no idea what to do with herself anymore. I dont know how you've been coping as long as you have. No matter how much your daughter means to you, and I know thats the world, you'll forever miss Caedan.

HI Maryla,

I saw your entry on Hannah's site which led me back to you. When John mentioned that he walked up to the doors of the school on the first day, it took my breath away -- really. What an important step --- a huge step.

The tears are streaming down my cheeks as I wish there were some real answers to your long list of questions. I wish that you didn't have to ask them at all.

Just know, that you are thought of often.

It's been a while. I ran a LLS TNT Rock and Roll Marathon in June, and I ran mile five in honor of C. I have a ribbon sown onto my jersey for every honoree. If you want his ribbon let me know, I'd love to send it to you.

How I love the thought of the previous entry...extreme sports in Heaven for our 13-yr. olds. Can't imagine harnesses needed there. Five years ago this week Joshua and Jacob enjoyed the Woodstock farmshow. Treatment was not holding him back from his farmer-heart and he was doing well. (Today Leonard & Jacob are there with some neighbour friends). Caedan was still doing very well, if I remember right. It's so good to have good times to think back on...a gift to keep opening.

Maryla, Scott and Cali,

Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of all of you yesterday. One of those days at the office where I couldn't even find the time to take a drink of my water, let alone get to write you a note.

Some things never stop; the hurt, the missing, the remembering, the caring for the grieving.

I find peace in knowing that there are these fairly new teenagers in Heaven doing things that I'm sure would make us cringe if they were doing them here on earth, but smiling thinking of them being done in Heaven.

They will always make us smile.

Love, Sharon

Maryla, I remember our somewhat parallel lives four years ago - you at your son's bedside; me at my father's bedside - both of us knowing and struggling to accept the reality that we were losing people we loved deeply. You and your family have been in my thoughts many times during the past four years. Our hallways chats (and hugs) mean a lot to me as does your friendship. Please know you can always call - for a chat, or a hug.
Thinking of you, Scott and Cali - and Caedan's extended family today and always

My dear family, we are all thinking of you this evening as always but even more so tonight. Can't really stop crying. I remember sitting in my 'first' cubicle at my first job and feeling all grown up (job, suit, tie) and Maryla calling me to tell me you were going to have a baby, and that made me feel that much more grown up (niece/nephew, job, suit, tie) and I remember those absolutely beeming (although maybe not admitting it) photos of our Dad holding little new born Caedan and feeling that much more like a family. I remember Scott telling me how that when your changing little boys diapers you have to watch out because they will pee all over you and I remember at times forgetting this wisdom with Noah and Julian. I remember those amazing two year old 'dance shows' on the cushions at our parents house after dinners.
Caedan's beautiful drawings of baby Noah in his 'fruit' suit are on the wall in Noah's room. There are so many amazing memories that Caedan created by his presence, through his imagination and his sweet satirical self. I can't even begin to imagine how it hurts. Please remember that we remember you.
Give Cali a big hug and kiss and tell her that her cousins love her, and Noah wants you to know that he can ride a two wheeler and Julian would like you to read him a story.
Lots of love

Happy birthday! It's my mom, Lori's birthday today as well (but instead, it's the "big 50"). I'm Julie's big sister and the step-sister of Jake and Kelsey. I know that they were very happy to see you come to the memorial at Springbank for their mom. Even with all that you've been through, you still support others. I hope that your day was fun and that you're doing alright. Best wishes always,

If I were at camp... and if I had a cake... I'd be singing...
Happy-Happy Birthday Cake! Happy-Happy Birtday Cake! Happy-Happy Birtday Cake! Haaaaaapy Birtday Cake!
But instead (because I'm not at camp, and I don't have a cake...) I'll give you a little poem:

However you may celebrate,
Whatever you may do;
Hope your day is filled with love,
And wishes that come true!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

You know I can't make any insightfull comments as to being 40... But I can say that one should live every day to its fullest and to take nothing for granted. Hope you had a great day!

I'd have to say July birthdays are the best - I couldn't imagine it snowing on my special day every year. (My 18th B-day was on the 14th.)

Well, I hope to see you guys out at camp sometime. Hope you're enjoying your summer! You picked an extremely hot and humid day to celebrate on... :)

It all just sneaks up on ya, doesn't it? I was coasting along, trying to remember to brush my teeth as you advised & suddenly it was our wedding anniversary. I couldn't even get out of bed.

I miss you Maryla & I regret that I didn't see you on my last trip home. You are a tonic for my soul.

Welcome to the rollicking 40's, I've waited 5 months for you to join me here. Remember how OLD 40 was when we were 20? Yeah... what do those whipper-snappers know anyway?

Hey, you share a birthday with my Dad. Funny thing, I don't ever remember celebrating his birthday. I would have been 9 the last time he celebrated his birthday. Take comfort in the wonderful memories you have of celebrating your birthdays with Caedan. I know he is smiling down on you, and thinking my Mom is going to be F-O-R-T-Y, how old! But we all know we are only as old as we feel, and age doesn't matter as long as we are healthy! Have a great one!

Devon took part in Relay for Life at his high school in May. The school raised over $54,000. He was part of a team of school rugby players. It poured rain most of the night so rather than relay, they kept each other company and stayed on the track together in the rain. It looked like a tent city at the school that night.

Your piece on HOPE is absolutely beautiful and emotional...You are an amazing writer Mar! Everything you say is so pure and comes straight from the soul.

I've always said and believe that "Hope makes you live". I can't imagine how I or anyone would go on without it really. Often, it's all you've got. It's a pretty powerful thing.

You really did do a fabulous job...I wish I could have been there to see you and support you at the Memorial Service.

Take good care. Nice pics :)

Hi Maryla,
I just realized that I hadn't stopped by the website for awhile. Life has just been a bit hectic lately. Your thoughts on Hope are very inspiring. With my nephew Jay's recent cancer diagnosis, the timing was...perfect. Jay is up at CHWO as I type having another chemo treatment. Hopefully, he will be home by the weekend. Maryla, I don't know how I would have survived the last month without the support of you and Scott. I will always be greatful for that. Caedan is still in my thoughts daily.

The Relay for Life was held in the field at the elementary school across the street from us last weekend and every time I went past them I thought of Caedan, and of you Maryla, Scott and Cali. Lots of folks had T-shirts that said HOPE on them and I just kept marvelling that you could even get out of bed every morning. The idea of hope seemed cruel. And then tonight I popped into the website and there you are talking about hope.........you are an example and an inspiration to us all.

It was such a stunningly beautiful day yesterday............super blue sky as background to our bright yellow balloons. The wind was a little erratic and as we let them go one-by-one a couple of them got caught in the trees. But we watched and waited and every one of them eventually freed themselves and drifted up into that sky, getting smaller and smaller until they disappeared from sight. One of Noah's little friends was with us and when we couldn't see them anymore he said, "you know what I think? I think there's a door up in the sky and when they get to the top they just go through."

Can't believe he would have been thirteen.

Happy Birthday Caedan, we miss you so much.

Love to all of you from all of us.

Just stopping by to say that I think of Caedan and of your family often. His was one of the first sites I found on Caringbridge, while looking for another child's site, and I was always hoping and praying he would be healed. If you don't want to take down Caedan's site, I wouldn't worry about it. Lots of people have sites that are several years old, that they don't update that regularly. I think it's up to you to write when you feel that you want to, and it's nice to think that Caedan's story is still out there on the web, to inspire others that might be facing the same situation. It's still a link to him, a place to see his picture and read his story. Take care.

Dear Gallaghers,

A quick note to let you know we're thinking of you this holiday season. In my usual well-organized fashion, I've neglected to get my cards out on time again (watch for a Happy February card!). Much love & good wishes to you all.

Hi Maryla - I'm not quite sure if you realize how much you, Scott and Cali come to my mind. I regret that we don't get to see or talk to eachother on a regular basis - but I wanted you to know that you are part of my thoughts. I see Karen at the Goodlife just about every Friday AM and think of you then too too. We have been well, busy with life as we all are, and look forward to going away this Christmas to Panama - trading the snow and the in-laws in for the heat and sun. We're still running - albeit Dave alot faster than me - and today I ran a bit of a circle starting at Guy Lombardo's and then what felt like around the entire city, then up Springbank - this time I got to think for more than the flash of thought I normally think when I pass Caedan. The cemetary is at the top of the hill and when I reached it I looked over and thought of you all. Lots of thoughts actually, including your Cuba trip - I guess because we're getting away too at Christmas. And then when I got home, just about to do some work, I found myself looking thru my bookmarks and wondered if you still have entries in your journal - sure enough - being the master word smith you've always been - you're thoughts are there. It's a special feeling being a part of those messages. Thank you.

Anyways, just do me a little favour and give that little angel of yours a big kiss from me - and maybe Julia and her can hook up again - I think she'd love that.
Love you.

Maryla, I was thinking about you today, I think about you a lot. I know that your pain is now part of you and will always be with you. Some days are easier than others, but the pain is always with you. If I were with you right now I would wrap my arms around you my dear friend and hold you tight and then we would cry, and then we would look at each other and then eventually we would laugh. Both are healing. I will never forget Caedan and the lessons he taught us all.

Dear Maryla,
I am so, so sorry for the daily pain of Caedan's loss. Looking through your pictures reminds me so much of Kevin's birthdays....he too had a Winnie the Poo cake and a Barney cake. He was also born in 1993. It breaks my heart that Caedan is gone. He should be 12 like Kevin now. Caedan will not be forgotten - remember that! How could he with a mom like you to keep his memory alive?
Love,

Hi Maryla, Out Christmas browsing today and thoughts of you and our swimming babies came rushing to my head. Out of sight, but not out of mind, I guess
