On September 29th, 2001 at 11:11 PM there was a car crash that took the lives of my beloved son and nephew. My heart, soul and spirit were crushed, and life as I knew it was over. I continued to work but the laughter was gone. My faith allowed me to ignore such comments as "How could God do this to you?" I knew better; God didn't do this to me. Casey and Aaron went to a bachelor party, they drank and Casey attempted to drive home. They didn't make it.

On October 10th, 2003, Jack Aaron Sullivan was born. At that moment, joy filled my heart and I was blessedly happy. Two years later, Casey Mae added more joy and love to my heart. Two children, my grandchildren, brought me out of the darkness and into the light, and I thank God every day for them.

My Casey is no longer with me physically but he is in a place where I know I will join him one day and we will be together for eternity. For now, I will enjoy gymnastic meets, baseball and basketball games, and the phone calls: "Nanny, can you take me to Dunkin?" I am so grateful to Jack and Casey Mae for leading me into the light.
