This post reminded me of the day that Dino crashed and was unresponsive and as I waited outside of the ICU as they were working on him, you happened to walk by and asked me why I was back on that floor. I burst into tears as I told you that I didn’t know his fate and the last conversation I had had with him was a disagreement because he wanted me to get him candy from the vending machine. “What are you? The candy cop? he had shouted at me. That was our last conversation and I had left his hospital room to sleep at the Brenthouse. When I got the call about his condition I was devestated that those words had been our last and you said to me, “All of the good times are what matters. Nothing can erase the years of love.” Your words and presence brought great comfort and peace in a moment that wa sdark and unsure. ❤️

Thinking of you today my friend and I KNOW that YOU would NEVER deliberately hurt anyone, especially your FAMILY and FRIENDS! Be kind and forgiving to yourself, like you are to others! Grief and mourning have no timeline, and you are entitled to cry soft gentle tears, flowing tears, and sobs! You and Michael had that special magic and love that others may never have the opportunity to experience. Sending you lots of love, hugs and prayers. Michael is smiling down on you and his children with so much PRIDE and LOVE! We love YOU!

It hurts to read this. It hurts because you are still hurting. It hurts because your children are still hurting. I wish I could take the pain away! … but I can’t. So I continue to lift you and the kids up in prayer often. Praying for comfort, for peace, for assurance of God’s plans for your future. Love you.

Ginger, we too are coming up on Kaity’s 3rd Anniversary and not a day goes by that I don’t tell her that I am sorry for not doing more. Should we have moved her to Cincinnati Children’s hospital, should we have demanded a meeting with all the doctors on her team, the list goes on and on. The only thing I do know, is that time does not heal, it only gets harder. I know you did all you could do for Michael and I can not ever imagine him being disappointed with you. He knew how much you loved him and how supportive you were. Like Kaity, I think God just felt that he needed Michael more. Big hugs to you and your family.

Ginger I am reading this after we have prepared my mom’s birthday cake. It has been 4 years that she has passed. No matter how hard it is as taking care of her I knew that she knew I loved her. Knowing your story Michael knew you loved him. He knew you were tired and he knew God loved him. I don’t believe anything you would have done might have changed. God was with you all as he is with you all now. I am sorry you are hurting and pray for peace and comfort. Know that y’all relationship with each other and your children and with God will be remembered and will touch people’s lives for eternity

Ginger,
We just celebrated my dad’s 6th anniversary! While for my sister and I, time makes it easier, for my mom time has seemed to stand still. I watched you, day after day, love and comfort and encourage Michael to keep fighting! I don’t think you could have ever hurt his feelings! Celebrate his life every year, every day!
