Hi Lynda,
I just read your entry on December 17th and simply had to send you a note. I know, I truly, truly understand every word that you wrote. I too, have had such a difficult time letting go of Andrew's things. I still have the baseball uniform pants that he wore in his last baseball game...grass stained knees, mud stains on the rear...just can't wash them. I feel as if I'm washing away his memory, a part of who he was and I know that he will never leave anything else for me to wash. So, I keep them stored safely away. His curio cabinet is encompassed with memories of Andrew from infancy until the time of his death...memories from his funeral, notes from his friends, etc.;
I know that moving forward is hard emotionally but we have both learned during the past three years that we have no other options; in addition, I just don't believe that Garion or Andrew would want our lives on this earth to dimminish to a point that we are lifeless in the only life that we have right now.
You are eternally in my thoughts and prayers Lynda. May 2009 bring you much love, happiness & good health. May you, your husband and beautiful children stay safe and happy as we know that Garion is full of eternal life now. He, nor Andrew suffer from head injuries now and for that, we should both be forever thankful.
God Bless you and yours,
Debi Collins http://andrew-collins.last-memories.com

Dearest Garion,
It has been a while since I have written in here...it can be too hard at times. But this evening was another evening of whys, what ifs, and sorry's. The holidays are approaching and I am so happy for your brother and sister. I love seeing the magic in their eyes, my heart smiles for them. But then I think of you, you also make me smile, but I miss you so much and that part makes me so sad. I wonder what you would have wanted, liked, been into for Christmas. What would have been that present that would have made you smile the greatest? (You know I would have gotten it for you!) Would you have been at basketball pratice with your brother and sister? It is that time of year again!
I was in your room today cleaning out and going through Rylon's things, trying to make room for his new gifts. I always took this time of year to throw out broken toys, donate toys that are no longer being played with, and in general just organize. I was actually able to go through some of your toys and gave some to Calyn and some to Rylon, the rest went back under your bed (by the way, Rylon takes good care of your pokemon cards!) It was hard but I did manage to throw away your used Deer Park (the only kind of water you liked) water bottle...but if I think about it too much I will dig through the trash and get it back out (the eveing isn't over yet!) I feel guilty already! I have kept your pikachu pillow, ball caps, and baseball gloves on your bed all this time...I finally put them in a container in your closet this evening and I broke down. I have a hard time thinking that I am packing you up, but I am not! I am simply wanting to keep things in good condition. It was and is just as hard for me to clean the dust off your things, because it is a reminder to be that they aren't being used. What am I to do? I have begged you today to tell me what to do. Am I crazy? Or do I just miss you like crazy! I have so much guilt over not knowing...I should have known something was going to happen...it is my job to keep you safe. I struggle with this so much from time to time. After a while I will manage to go about my daily life and focus on our family and making memories of our here and now, but when I am alone I can't help but miss what we all had with you. I love you and I guess I just needed to come on here this evening and speak what was on my heart...it has been a difficult evening. What is weird is my day went so well, it was a great day actually, and then BOOM, IT HITS ME! This is my life now...I just never know. Hugs buddy and I will continue to do my best...I know that is what you would want. xoxoxox
Love,
Mommy
