CARLY'S GRADUATION - SUMA CUM LAUDE - FROM UNCW.......5/10/08

I know how proud Daniel is of you....


10/28/07 -  JT and Charley hung Daniel's big star high above the roof of the house.  Most passers-by will think it's a Christmas decoration, but it's really a symbol for Daniel.  AND the big news...Charley got a memorial tattoo for you Daniel - check it out!


September 2007:  Carly is a SENIOR this year at UNCW!!  And Rina is in grad school at Boston University!

May 2007:  Carly will be home later this month!!  We move her back to UNCW on June 2nd.  In April ~ Charley and I went to visit her in Wales, England and Scotland.  Later in April I met Carly in Paris for a long weekend.  Carly will turn 21 this month.  I'm working in AT&T's Baltimore office and loving my job.  Still going to Compassionate Friends meetings to work through my grief for my wonderful son.

January 2007:  Still missing you Dan and thinking of you every moment of every day.  Carly is in Wales studying abroad for the semester - poor thing - no Grey's Anatomy, no TV at all, no low carb meal options...but she is a trooper!  She is learning a new culture and making new friends.  I am now up to 22 goats!!!  I had 11 babies in one week this month, and I'm bottle feeding two of them.    Love and peace to all.


It's been a long hard year, but we've made it through by remembering the joy that Daniel brought to our lives.  On Daniel's 21st birthday, 6/11/06, we put a cross at the accident site and had a picnic at our house. 

Carly is doing great at UNC-W in her own apartment and plans to study in Wales for the spring 2007 semester.  Her GPA would make Daniel jealous - but at least we can say she actually works for her grades as opposed to Daniel who always seemed to excel without opening a book.

The goat farm is in full swing - McKenzie Ridge Farm started with 5 goats only a couple weeks before Daniel's accident and we now have 17.  I'm working for AT&T by day and tending to goats in the evenings and weekends.  They are SO cute.  And, my dad and Charley help me out a lot.

Hope you and yours are doing well.  God bless you all.  Drive safely kids.
