guest post on kate's club blog

i was honored to write a guest post over at the grief awareness day blog, which is a product of kate's club (an amazing local atlanta charity that helps children and teens deal with the death of a parent) and LEAD atlanta (a wonderful organization that cultivates young leaders in the community...one of which is my friend megan!). 

if you've known me for some time, you already know this...but i lost my dad in october 2007 after an 18-month battle with melanoma that had spread to his liver, lungs and brain.  i was lucky to have an unbelievable support system in my friends, and am still so grateful to them for helping me through a tough time.  for me, it's all about preserving his memory and honoring the person he was, so i can tell my children about the grandfather they never met.

me and my dad circa 1981.  real men wear pink you know.

check it out here.  thank you for allowing me to share my story, megan!  if you would like to share yours, they would love it - please contact the folks over there here.

xoxo

  2. Warmed the cockels of my heart. Well done, you. Sharing grief takes the sting out of it, for me.
