Remembering Luke: God Winks/Lukie Smiles
http://www.rememberingluke.com/2014/11/god-winkslukie-smiles.html
Sunday, November 9, 2014. I went to Starbucks Thursday after work, something I rarely do. I usually go on the weekend, whatever morning I open. Sitting in the drive-thru, I had the overwhelming urge to pay for the car behind me. I glanced in my rearview mirror and saw a very expensive car, with a very nicely dressed woman on her cell phone. I thought, surely, this woman can afford to pay for her order, she has a nicer car than me, is dressed nicer than me and I only have so much on my Starbucks card.

Remembering Luke

Their dad pulled Luke out as First Responders arrived, and Luke was taken to the local hospital. After 45 minutes, the emergency room personnel were able to get a heartbeat again and Luke was flown to Evansville, IN and put in the PICU. After several precarious hours there, Luke was then flown to Louisville's Kosair Children's Hospital where he died on August 5, 2013 at 8:38 in the morning. This is our journey of Remembering Luke.

Remembering Luke: September 2014
http://www.rememberingluke.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. Tom came. On Friday night, after K asked to see her dad, he came. My mom was here, Thelma (one of our new therapists, she picked Thelma from Thelma and Louise. J was here. It was awkward, tense and stressful. J talked, played on his dad's phone and told him about his last year. He skirted over the hard stuff. Have you been to Luke's grave? Have you seen his stone? If you are going to see it before it gets dark, you should leave now. Links to this post. Labels: 7 year olds.

Remembering Luke: I make people uncomfortable.
http://www.rememberingluke.com/2015/05/i-make-people-uncomfortable_10.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. I make people uncomfortable. I make people uncomfortable. I. My life or my situation makes people uncomfortable. I am the mother of a lost child. I am the mother of a child who died too young. If it can happen to me, it can happen to other people. People are scared to talk to me about my child who died. They are afraid they will make me cry. They are afraid they will cry. Maybe they don’t know what to say, afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they say nothing. It was a rough weekend.

Monday, March 23, 2015. Memories and What If's? Little man, it is almost your 9th birthday. Your 9th! Where has time gone? It feels like yesterday I was waddling pregnant with a butterball turkey, my hips hurt so bad. then you were born and life was never the same! I came across a Timehop post today about you. You were terrified of a common housefly, but were still naming the ants on the sidewalk and trying to bring them inside to live because, "They are my friends mama! Is there a fishing pond? I want s...

Remembering Luke: Trick or Treat
http://www.rememberingluke.com/2014/10/trick-or-treat.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Today J woke up sick, and I was happy. A sick kid meant I. Have to deal with Halloween. But by the afternoon, he was better and thinking about his costume. He finally decided to be a Zombie Soccer Goalie with an Easter bag from Kroger to use to carry his loot. I did a pretty good job on his make up if I do say so myself! But then we started trick or treating. It was a cold, windy, and overcast night and there. Long after that J asked if I wanted his. Labels: 7 year olds. Sharing...
