My thoughts are with you, Vicki, and your family. A tree to shade the swings would be a perfect tribute.

Posted 26 Jul 2008 at 5:57 pm ¶I am de lurking because I have visited this blog for so long, to gain insight and inspiration. Today I feel hallow-and am just broken on the inside for you, Vicki and your family and I have never met you. There are no words-words have no meaning here. But I will pray for you all and try not to be angry that such a wonderful person was taken away so soon. God has plans, and he also has a new angel. My deepest sympathies. I will do something special in your sons memory in my little part of the world. Thank you for sharing him with all of us that visit here-we are blessed because of it.

May there be many strong “rocks” for you to lean on, now during the course of this unspeakable tragedy. Through your writing you have encouraged many of us to be brave - cultivating an entire mountain of rocks for you to lean on now.
Be brave.

Since leaving LA my life has changed in so many ways but I have often been reminded of the joys of working with Evan, watching his interests and talents unfold at such an early age, a child with so many obstacles yet so many gifts bestowed upon him. As you know his life changed us all in so many ways. I feel blessed to have shared in his joys and struggles towards independence. Although this time is no longer current in your life…I know that it will forever be reflected upon. You and Evan inspired me as a therapist. Your work is inspiring…I only wish that I had taken the time to find the gifts of your motherhood and writings behind the child earlier. My heart and prayers are with you and…please….remember to continue to visit the park. Listen for those that may follow in his footsteps.
