About Me
Corrie was a "late life" (though not by today's standards) baby. Her two sisters, Allyson and Hillary are 15 and 10 years older respectively. We were a very happy family of four for many years but I always felt that the family wasn't "complete". The instant Corrie was born the longing and feeling of incompleteness left me for good. When I was pregnant with Corrie three questions were always asked: 1. Was she an "accident" (no). 2. Same husband (yes). 3. Are you hoping for a boy (no ~ just healthy and happy). We were blessed with her presence for 21 years. Before relocating to Nevada in early August, I was an arts administrator, office manager and volunteer at a local food bank in Seattle. Trying to figure out my next steps now.

Debbie I just read the note you wrote on one of my journal entries. You have such a way with words. I can relate with your description of having two layers. That is how I see myself. I do have moments when the inner layers surface and it is unbearable. I want to wish you a peaceful and gentle Thanksgiving. We will be with dear friends with a lot of activity and noise, just what my other children need. I also need to be around joy and people who loved Chris and I do not have to explain when that inner layer comes to surface. Love to you. Wendy

Hug
I just wanted to send you a hug. My name is Vera and I also lost my son to a drunk driver on Jan. 13, 2007. I am was raised in North Las Vegas back when it was a great place to be raised(lol). But I wanted to tell you that I understand and will be here. Hugs and Love for comfort and support, Vera

I love that Corrie wore PJ bottoms and was oh so comfortable. Perhaps you can sew pieces of them together to make a colorful shawl you can quite literally wrap yourself in? It might be just the thing along with a muc of hot tea. Have a peaceful day.
Little Love
Sending love and hugs. Take care.
Hug
Let the memories flow right along with the tears. The triggers are many and every day for me and I am preparing myself for a lifetime of those. I just hope one day they will bring thoughts of happiness instead of pain and heartache. Love and hugs to you.
