Six Month Mark

The six month mark came and went. Six months without Dylan. It still feels incredibly surreal. I look at pictures from years past and wonder how our beautiful, healthy daughter could be gone. We continue to put one foot in front of the other. Some days are harder than others. I relish the days that […]

Our sweet Dylan, love of our lives, passed away yesterday after a 20-month battle with DIPG.

We did promise to Dylan that we will live […]

We certainly don’t take lightly COVID-19 and it’s implications, and we are just as scared and worried as the rest of the world about it. ⁣⁣But our lives have essentially been on hold since Dylan […]
