4 Months Later - Focusing Everyone's Energy

So many lives have been touched by our angel.  We are very grateful for the amazing people sending prayers to us and Evelyn. It's been almost 4 months. It is easier today than it was even last week, but it is not easy. We are doing well and are still united together. Life feels like it has an overcast - like some kind of blurry filter was put over it.  We know we are going to be OK in time. We will never truly move on because a piece of us is stuck in that place. Sometimes I think that I wouldn't move on even if I could. I'm still holding on so tight to something that isn't there.

 We can't thank my friends and family enough. You have made a difference.
 

We have a goal outside of our own story and want to make a difference for others.  Ever since Evelyn passed we knew that we wanted to do something to honor her.  In fact everyone that knows us, or have heard her story, has wanted to do something in her name.  We have witnessed an amazing support network of love for our daughter.  With so many people wanting to contribute to Evelyn's memorial we decided it was time to get organized.  We are doing just that - and we plan for this blog to be much more than our story.... we plan to show what we all can do to help others in similar situations.  We unfortunately know first hand what did or would have helped us in our time of need. 

 

It is starting with us setting up a not for profit cooperation in Evelyn's name.  We have a name reserved and are filing the necessary paperwork and fees (out of our own pocket) so that we can focus all donations to help others.  I should mention that it is very important to us that everyone understands what our goal is and where any donation is going.  We will be very open about what the targets are and where money will go.  We already had a little fund raiser shortly after Evelyn became an angel.  I will share that with with you and update you on what we plan to do next.  Stay tuned, we are working hard to make a difference for others.
