St. Jude's is an awesome way to honor all children. If I could spend a day with someone who has passed it would be my "mum" (Grandmom) Sadie. She was 100% PA Dutch and a classy lady to boot.

Not everyone has something good come from their loss, but we're thankful for our second son, Skyler. We never would have tried again so soon if we hadn't lost Aydin, so Skyler is here because of him, and we know Aydin is looking out for his little brother.

They went to counselling for grieving parents for about a year. None of us and especially them, have ever gotten over her death. You can't, ever. <br /><br />I'm really sorry about your son.

I might do something extra where I match the royalties before making the donation. Personally, the loss of a child is the most difficult thing I've ever experienced, and no one should have to go through it.
