I can't tell you how much it warms my heart when people remember Kyle!! We went to visit his bench last night, and someone put flowers there! What a wonderful surprise!! Thank you so very much to whomever did that--just knowing you're thinking of him too makes us so very happy! 

AND, my good friend Kori Thornton made this heart pillow in memory of Kyle! I was so happy when she gave it to me a few days ago!! It says, "Kyle was so amazing God made him an Angel" Kori's son Tim and Kyle were really good friends throughout middle school, high school, and remained close and always kept in contact. They were snowboarding buddies and both loved to play chess. Here's a photo of them in 2008 playing chess 

Kori and I have had a few conversations about the topic--and I know it's a tough one--do you mention that child to a parent who's grieving? I certainly wouldn't have known either--but I've heard it so many times now it just can't be me, and it must be so very true--Just hearing the name of our loved one who has passed is MUSIC to our ears! That's how I feel and that's exactly how other mothers have described it! I know--you hate to bring up the subject and worry it will make us sad. But guess what? We think about them all the time already. And just hearing a memory or his name, or seeing a gesture like the flowers is just so heartwarming and uplifting--I really can't describe it. So Thank You Kori and wonderful person(s) who added flowers to Kyle's bench this week!!
