Dear Cody,
I look at pictures, I see all of your things here, your dogs, your clothes, your shoes, your room and I look for you…I know I see signs, I hear you and I feel you. I know you are with me and I thank you for watching over me. I know I have you to thank for the good thing that is happening. I was at Corinne's yesterday with the kids and great friends and Corinne and I saw that huge butterfly…I know you were there. My heart continues to hurt and I am sure it always will..the tears flow every day.
8 months is so long. Other the other hand, I am so thankful no one forgets you. I see your pictures at other's houses. I see people wearing your shirts. I see your bracelets everywhere. Just on Monday, Coach Carcone called to tell me about the ribbon he is putting on the shirts in memory of you. So touching. I will be at the games to be there for you.
Please watch over your brother. I know he misses you.
I love you, Cody….xoxoxoxox

Mary, I am glad you feel Cody near you and find solace in all he was and all he left behind. It is hard to believe that 8 months have passed all bringing new seasons, experiences, news, music, tv shows and life's daily events. Somehow we put one foot in front of the other and keep going, finding ways to be happy and smile despite the tears because our full lives have to be lived to honor the boys we lost. Love to you,

It is so hard, Diane. I do not know how we do it. Somehow we do. Just unreal.
