Last year on December 9th Gavin passed away in my arms at Duke University Medical Center. As the anniversary of the day he earned his angel wings approaches, I am finding myself missing him so very much. I do my best to put on my smile when I hear "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays". However, in my heart, I would just rather sit this one out this year. Unfortunately, that's not an option. I have two other kids that depend on me. I have to force a smile for them. So I will hang my stockings by the chimney with care and hope that Saint Nicholas soon will be here.
I long to be purchasing Christmas toys for my little man. Instead, in order to keep my mind occupied and to honor Gavin's memory, I will shop for toys for the children forced to be confined to the hospital during Christmas. If anyone would like to contribute to this toy drive, please contact me and I will make arrangements to pick the toys up. Email giftsfromg@gmail.com.
