Hello Hallie, I have been following the page for some time now and I admire you so much for what you are doing a truly wonderful way to pay tribute to your son. I realise my message comes at a sad time for you, my heart breaks thinking about what you would be feeling coming up to CJs birthday but I felt I had to message you today and share my story, although its not anything special. Earlier this year you sent me some of CJs ashes, along with your lovely letter and card. I must admit I live in an amazing place and had a few ideas of what I would show CJ and where I would scatter him. Unfortunately I could not bring myself to do it. Earlier this year my little boy, age 6, was diagnosed with leukaemia and we were flown to a hospital almost 700kms away from our home for his treatment. You see out local hospital is not set up to treat oncology until the patient goes into remission, and even then you have to travel to the bigger hospital regularly for certain treatments. This meant being separated from the rest of our family, our friends and everything that made our home special to us. We have received amazing support from everyone though and even though its been a tough journey with much more to come we know we have many people behind us to make the journey as easy as it can be. Anyway thats off track. You see the reason I could never release CJs ashes is because, when I received them it brought a different kind of comfort during our journey. I cant explain it, but knowing you have entrusted your precious sons ashes to me, and many others of course, did something inside of me and I felt I needed to keep him with me while my son and I go through his cancer journey, at least for now. He is always close by, no matter what we are doing, and for some reason it brings me a little bit of comfort, as if having a bit of your son with us is having another angel looking over my son. I hope you are ok with this and please know I have every intention of scattering CJ and sending you photos when my heart tells me the time is right. I know the next few days are going to be hard for you and I will be praying you find some comfort and peace somehow, and celebrate your sons life xxx (I chose to withhold her name to protect their privacy)
