To all my dear friends & family, I am not sure how to address you today. I ask you to bear with me as I struggle to write, attempting to make sense from the worst 9 days of my life. Before I begin with what I need to say regarding the tragic death of Aaron and the rumors surrounding his death.  I want to sincerely THANK ALL OF YOU for the many kind words, both public & private sent and offered since his passing.

Simple Candy Bar

We seemed to be having a semi-successful grocery store shopping trip.  No tantrums to speak of, no arguing between the boys.  No one seemed to get lost this time as they wandered off looking for cereal.

At 4 and 6 years of age, I felt we had made it.  We had arrived.  Like all good moms, each son had a job.  Either picking out the item that I read to them…or estimate how much we would probably spend as each item was placed in the cart.
