Day 8: Resource Having a child with special needs opened our world to many resources we didnt even know existed. Lincoln had the best doctors and therapists at St Paul Childrens Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and Gillette Childrens Specialty Healthcare. We met so many wonderful people on our journey. Doctors, therapists, EEG technicians, nurses, orthotists, PMR doctors, Neurologists, receptionists, special education teachers...the list goes on and on. They were all our resource team to give Lincoln everything he needed and more. I also view my resources as my husband, family, friends, neighbors, students and their families, BSF group, The Bible and God. My resources make up Team Linc. Team Linc is amazing. We could have never traveled our journey without God putting the resources in our lives. Day 9: In Memory In memory makes me sad because it hits my heart that Lincoln is physically gone. I would give anything to hold him again. My best boy is truly amazing. I remember him most in my heart and how I love others. I always feel him with me. I have wonderful pictures and videos that we can look back upon. Sometimes they bring tears and sadness and other times they bring happiness and smiles. I have received many wonderful gifts to remember Lincoln. I have special bracelets, Super Linc pins, a rug, books, dragonfly lights, crosses, and even a necklace with his ashes and fingerprint. These items are so very special to me. We will keep Lincolns spirit alive by continuing to participate in The Epilepsy Stroll and other fundraising walks to bring awareness of Cerebral Palsy. We will continue to have his logo in our front lawn. All of the Firsts are going to be so difficult in the coming year. Thinking of the holidays already makes me sad. We will be serving lunch and dinner at the Ronald McDonald House at Gillette on his birthday. We want to honor Lincoln by helping others and bringing a little love and warmth to families who will be staying at Gillette that weekend. Sometimes I look at Lincolns Memorial card and I cant believe it reads, In Loving Memory. Some days I cant believe he is gone. It has been 7 weeks today. 7 weeks without my best boy...feels like an eternity. I love you Lincoln. I will always keep your memory and spirit alive. We hope others do, too.
