A loss for words

About three weeks ago, we lost one of the most important people in our worlds, especially in Kellen's. Diagnosed with cancer for the 3rd time right before Halloween, Dave's mom, Kellen's beloved Gigi- passed away on April 18th. She was Kellen's biggest fan. She loved that boy with every ounce of her being. I am so thankful for her love and her guidance. I know that this blog is set up to be about Kellen and his journey-- but his Gigi WAS a part of his journey and will continue to be a part of his world. We have found challenges in sadness and in explaining things to him in ways he will understand (and also challenges in the fact that he can't ask questions-- so we're not real sure what his little mind is thinking). Last weekend we held a funeral for this incredible woman at the elementary school she worked at. There were probably over 500 people there. A true testament to the amazing person she was. Her love, her memory, her legacy will live on in Kellen. I just wanted a place to share and to house some photos. We are all so broken. We miss her so much.
