In my many efforts to share Elijah's legacy, I have realized that I have left out a VERY important part of his blog...His Daddy!
Sorry Chris!

I no more meant to leave his daddy 'out of the picture' , than I thought to take my next breath.

Elijah is very fortunate to have had two wondeful parents who love him more than anything.

Without Chris, I would never have had the life changing, love that Elijah gave so willingly to all of us.

For my "Beans"












"Before you , my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars- points of light and reason.... And then you shot across my life like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy , there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed , but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."




QUOTE FROM: NEW MOON




Beans,


We see the reasons now for you in our lives. You brought the sun into focus and your sun will ALWAYS shine in our lives.
Everything has changed because of you and you have given us reason...



Love,


Grammie & Paw-Paw

NEW INFORMATION

As I am ever searching for more information , I spend hours reading articles and cross researching to find the ones that I think would be helpful.
These are some that I have recently read and wish I'd been able to find a year ago. I hope they are helpful to someone.

Forever searching for Elijah's Legacy...
