Hello to anyone out there thinking of Eion today,

It has been 6 long and very painful years since our Eion left us. Some days it feels so long ago and some the pain is so intense I think I might go crazy. I am about to finish my 1st semester of nursing school on Monday. I have 3 semesters left. I look forward to being the best nurse I can be in honor of Eion. The nurses we had could make or break our many days in the hospital. I want to be the nurse that makes a person's day much better.
Eion's siblings are getting so grown up. Gabriel will be graduating from high school May 31st, Ellie is a sophmore and still way into poms, Quin is in 4th grade and Kellan is in 3rd grade. Quin and Kellan talk about Eion all the time and even name Webkins after him! They are doing so well in school as I know Eion would have. I am so blessed with smart and creative children! School functions are still really difficult for me because Eion wanted to go to school so badly.
It still makes me really angry that Eion had to leave us, but I'm trying really hard not to be an angry and resentful person. Some days go better than others. I'll just keep chugging along...missing Eion....and try to be the best person I can be in his HONOR.

Thanks to all who still may remember.... Angela
