Long time, no blog :(

I am thinking about bloggin and stopping Riley's caringbridge site....it is hard to decide.  I like the blog better because I can put video and unlimited pictures.  I love all the messages on caringbridge but I guess people can always shoot an e-mail or leave a message on the blog....what are your thoughts.
I miss Riley so so much....just watched a video on the blog of him.  It just seems like yesterday he was here.  I keep hearing his voice saying "mom" like he used to when he needed me.  He suffered so much in his short 9 years but had a lot of wonderful times too.
We took the kids sledding for a little while tonight.  They had a blast.  I always worried about that kind of stuff with Riley because of his shunt...he loved the snow, too.

Have a blessed evening ....stay warm!

Life is so strange...the different paths it takes.  It is amazing to me how people come into your life.  The people you think would be a support, should be a support aren't.   Strangers  that lift you up and love you unconditionally that you have never met.  We all have had hurt and heartache in life....everyone does.  Some worse than others.  I think you get to a point in life where people can't hurt you anymore.  Things are just things....they can be replaced - people can't.  Memories, good and bad will ALWAYS be there.  People that TRULY support you are the ones I want to be surrounded by NOT the superficial people.  

I have my Faith,  I have my husband,  I have my kids, I have great friends, I have freedom, I have a job, I have a house, a car, food on my table.  I have the cross that promises that I will see my Riley again. 

Thank you to all of those that have supported us, love us, and pray for us.  We will always be thankful~~

Kellar Farms provided this beautiful hot air balloon for everyone :)

This is the last picture that we took of Riley that he was still awake and alert. It was about 36 hours before he passed. These are some of the boys he went to school with. They had made him a Build-A-Bear FROG for his birthday. He gave them all high-fives before

they left. You can see the frog on the bed with him.

I am sorry for not updating the blog sooner......For those of you that have not heard on caringbridge....^^Riley^^ has earned his angel wings. He went to heaven Thursday, March 11th at 2:22pm. To get more funeral information check the caringbridge site......www.caringbridge.org/visit/rileymitchell
