Like Kayte, I always check Kevin's site while at work. I have since the site started when he was born. The pictures you posted made me smile. Many of the pictures are new to me.

Last week Lily and I went to storytime and the pumpkin patch. Both places bring back so many memories of Kevin for me. I could almost see Kevin walking around the bunny area at the pumpkin patch. In the car on the way home Sting's song "Fields of Gold" came on. I found myself thinking about Kevin as I listened to the song. Lily asked, "Are you thinking about Kevin right now and missing him? Does this song make you think if Kevin?" I was amazed we were thinking of Kevin at the same time.

I mostly check the site while I am at work for it is under my quicklinks. I need to stop doing that though because everytime it brings me to tears. Just wanted you to know that I think of you often.

Thank you for sharing your pictures and personal thoughts of Kevin. Even though I haven’t responded, I have faithfully followed this sight from the beginning. I do have pictures and special memories of your sweet boy. My first memory being when you brought Kevin to Grandma and Granpa’s home for the first time. You told me I could hold him, and hold him I did. I remember sitting in the rocker-glider holding him all wrapped up in his blanket. I cried, telling God thank-you for finding a way to give your sweet boy a chance to get to know his family. I remember his first birthday party. I didn’t expect him to interact with me, I was unfamiliar to him. But he crawled up on my lap and played with his toys. We played together as if he knew who I was (maybe he did !). That really touched me. I remember Kevin at Symora’s birthday party. There was a small pool filled with ice and pop cans. Kevin and Keeton were fascinated with the ice. They kept sticking their little hands in the ice. They would stomp, laugh, and then shake their hands and cry because of the painful cold. Then they would stick their hands in the ice and do it all over again! They were so funny to watch!
We took Brianna, Gabby, Symora, and Cameron to the zoo. We took pictures of them sitting on Kevin’s memorial bench. How special, what a wonderful way to remember Kevin.
Thank you for sharing your pictures and private thoughts of Kevin. It is a precious way to keep him with us. We can see him dance and hear his laugh and cry. Many who have lost love ones are not able to do that. It is not the same as having him with us, but a treasure just the same.
Again, thank you for allowing us to share your thoughts and pictures of your sweet boy.
I love you always,
Aunt Lindy

Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful pictures. We think about him everyday! I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, but with a huge smile because when I think of Kevin I just smile. I am making a scrapbook for Keaton called The ABC’s of Kevin. Many of these pictures will become a part of that book. We will miss him, love him, and remember him for always.

What a wonderful slide show. Made me smile, laugh, cry, but it’s so good to see him being himself, enjoying his life, showing you all how much he loved you with that sweet look in his eyes. We miss him so much!
