We just wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming events we have planned in Kassidy's memory.  On Jan 29th, at Faith Fellowship Church in Rocky Mount we are holding a blood drive.  It will be from 12p-6p. You can call the church to sign up 334-3477.  We are trying to raise awareness about how much blood a cancer patient actually needs during treatments.  And to increase the donations in the state of Virginia (which is the lowest state in blood donation).  If you are able to, please think about coming out and giving.  Also on Feb 3, Virginia Techniques Gymnastics is holding the Kassidy RockStar Invtational meet.  There will be more information on this coming soon and I will update as soon as times become available. 

We managed to get through the holidays, and we are doing OK.  We held the balloon release for Kassidy's 13th birthday in December.  We had a good turn out and everyone came back to the house for refreshments.  The tombstone is a beautiful tribute to Kassidy.  With friends and family we gathered and remembered the happy times with Kassidy.  This was a good day for everyone. Then Christmas came.....we did OK.  We remembered Kassidy in the gifts that we gave...lots of Angel gifts this year!  We want everyone to remember that she is with us all the time...right in our hearts!  We kept our chins up through the new year and are looking forward to 2008.  We will never forget Kassidy...she is always with us...even though we are doing better I guess we will always have those moments that cause an emotional break down and shed the tears.  I don't think that will ever go away!  But we have many happy memories also and not a day goes by that I don't think of something she said or did and it makes me smile.   So right now it's still a little bit of an emotional roller coaster and I'm sure it will be that way for awhile longer.

Here is the lyrics to one of my favorite songs right now.  Because God is the almighty one and we have to keep praising his name so that one day we will be reunited with Kassidy.

God Bless You All...We Love You

Keep Singing

Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunshine on my face
All I feel is pain
All I wanna do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
Your the one that's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Oh You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing
