Being thankful

Sometimes it's hard to be thankful. After losing my brother in May and my Aunt in September I try everyday to be thankful for all I have. It has made me realize how short life is and how fast it can pass. I miss them tremendously. Connor (my brother) was way too young. He brought so much joy to our family. I do have to say that through his illness it has brought our family closer, and for that I am thankful.

 

I am thankful for my nephew, who constantly cracks everyone up. And who at Thanksgiving dinner, while I was praying, yelled out "Auntie Cherie" (in his most monster like voice). It has keep us laughing all weekend.

 

I am thankful for the moments we shared. Just hanging out, being goofy, and laughing.

So remember to make sure all the people you love know it. Spend time with them and take lots of pictures ☺ You never know how things may change.

Reminiscing...

Here are a few of my favorite photos of Connor:





Ok I'll be back later with a scrappy post. Off to lunch with my bestie...

Connor

Yesterday morning at 8am Connor took his last breath. He was sleeping peacefully with his parents by his side. We are all so blessed to have so much love and support from our family and friends. His service will be later in the week.

I'm still in complete disbelief. There's no other way to describe it but completely surreal. Yesterday after they came and took him I just kept waiting for him to walk down the stairs and join us.

My sister Danielle and I are putting together scrapbooks for the wake. It's been great to look trough all the pictures of him and remember all the good times we had together. It's been hard, yet healing at the same time. He was loved by so many people and was a great brother.

Connor we will always miss and love you!

Things have been so crazy lately my brother, Connor, has been battling brain cancer for over three years now. The past few weeks he has taken a turn for the worst. Sunday we had Hospice come get him set up at home. He has been sleeping since Sunday and not eating. This is one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. I know when his fight is over he will be in a better place watching over us.


I have tons of scrappy things to share but bare with me as I most likely wont be able to get on here for a few days. Thank God I have scrapbooking to help me cope with tough things like this. It saves me!

Connor we love you!!!!

Prayers needed

My younger brother has been battling brain cancer for the last 3 years. This as been so hard on us because he is only 18. He has been doing kemo and last year did radiation. That helped but just for a little while. The cancer is growing again and all they can do is give him kemo (he has had his life-time max of radiation) which isn't helping. Please pray for his healing and that he can enjoy life for however long that may be. I love you Connor!
