Conquer Chiari Walk Across America

Another year beginning...I was talking to a retired teacher the other day and she told me that she still feels that September is the new year, not January.  I understand exactly what she means.  And with the beginning of a new year is the realization-again- that the world has moved on without Aiden.  In my mind he has continued to grow, just as his classmates have and I have to remind myself that he stopped at 5 years 11 months 3 weeks.  It is not just that he is not here now, but now I have to remember that he also missed first grade, and second grade and now his classmates are going to third grade.

Also at the "beginning" of our year is the Chiari Malformation Walk which we will walk on September 21 in memory of Aiden.
