Chris & I wanted to let all of you know that The Childrens Miracle Network through the Childrens Hospital of Central Georgia will be featuring a segment about Austin & his relationship with the hospital through the years and the relationship with June-Alana Shannon. Its so hard to believe its has been 3 months since Austin past-away. Our lives have changed drastically & the pain is unbearable at times. It doesnt seem real…he was so much a part of our lives and he was so dependent on our care for so many years. Some people might think we were prepared for Austins death, but we were NEVER prepared for the intense grief and loss we experience everyday! Ive never known such a pain that grabs you in the depths of your heart & soul!!! Some moments seem as if life has come to a stand still & we are watching everyone pass by & go about their day. Many of you have asked how we are doing & I think the best way to put it is…things are horrible but we are going to be ok - I say that with tears running down my face because I dont know when that ok will come! I do know that God is walking with us through each moment of each day - there are days when we dont want to leave the house but somedays we have no choice & God gives us the ability to do what is needed. We are so thankful to have the support of wonderful friends and family. You all hurt with us and help carry the burdens of our heart. Austins friends have become like our own children. God has provided a wonderful gift to us through each of them. They continually stay in touch or come by for regular visits and they ALL treat Garrett as their little brother. Austin loved everyone deeply and cherished each relationship he had & we truly believe he never took those relationships for granted. If we could all live our lives the same way! Austins cremains were received at Harts Mortuary last Saturday. We have not received any information concerning the research that is being done, but are in hopes we hear something soon. We have decided on burial & cemetary arrangements. At this time we are planning to have Austins remains buried at Riverside Cemetery and few plots down from my mother. This has been so much to process and Chris has done an incredible job working through all of the plans and helping me through the decisions. We would like to have a brief service at the cemetary when all of the arrangements are completed - which might take up to 3 months. Chris, Garrett and myself appreciate all of your love, kindness, compassion and sympathy….I know many of you hurt deeply for the loss of Austins life…& I pray for all of you as well. There will never be another Austin…my sweet angel. Love to All….Ashley and family
