"June 29, 2003

Our first born child,  Evan Hunter Thorn,  on his thirteenth (and final) birthday;  3-months before his death in
 September, 2003.

 I know that some will feel sad, after reading that, and may wonder why I  would choose to make such a  festive layout for this final celebration of Evan's life, but, I feel  fortunate to have had my  sweet angel for as long as we did, as when he was just an infant, living with a severe seizure disorder, his neurologist, after I asked, didn't think he'd live past age 2.
 Granted it was a difficult and painful life for him (& us), I'm grateful for his gifts to me; those being

     (1)the gift of motherhood, and,
     (2)  in this photo, his smile!

Though it's been nearly 13 years since his death, I miss him terribly still; however, I think missing him  is less painful than it would have been to watch this brain damaged boy become a man in a broken body  and a painful life."
