]]> Pumpkin Pie without Nutmeg https://childrenscancer.org/pumpkin-pie-without-nutmeg/ Tue, 14 Nov 2017 21:27:14 +0000 https://childrenscancer.org/?p=2113 Eight years ago, on a cold and dreary November day, Rob and I picked Zach up from school to take him to our local hospital for an MRI.

]]> A Gift That Never Comes Too Late https://childrenscancer.org/a-gift-that-never-comes-too-late/ Wed, 28 Dec 2016 22:15:37 +0000 http://dev.childrenscancer.org/?p=423 When you lose someone close, it’s the memories that bring them back to life again. The holidays are particularly hard, so when my heart aches for Zach and I need to feel close to him again, I put on my headphones, tap on a playlist of songs from when he was alive and I travel back to better times when he was still here. I replay the memories much like I replay the songs, both are well worn and loved.
