This is one of my high school friend's family. Her name is Vanessa. This story touches my heart in a special place, because it is of her son, Keaton. He is a happy healthy big boy, just like my little Hudson.
Keaton passed away just one week before his first Christmas. He was the family's third child, and first boy. Since I know the mother, I can tell you she is so active and involved in the children's lives. She is one proud momma as well, as she should be! I couldn't imagine the things this family is enduring at this point, and the things they have had to encounter along this process.
Please read this story, it was published in the Keller Citizen:
http://www.kellercitizen.com/101/story/11921.htmlIf there is any way you can help this family, know that they would greatly appreciate it. As a mother, I could not fathom needing to fund my child's funeral, pick out their favorite outfit, or put them to rest. Also know, that your prayers, are felt by the family, and they still need them, as this is an ongoing process for the entire family; Mother: Vanessa, Father: Dave, Sisters: Madelyn and Ashlyn.
This is also something she wrote, from her personal blog.
1). We can ALWAYS use thoughts and prayers. This is still new to my family and we are ALL still going through a hard time! Especially the girls. We still cannot believe this is happening to us. We are just trying our best to adjust and be able to do the daily things that have to be done in life without having a break down over Bubba.
2). We are deeply still in need of donations at any Wells Fargo by mentioning the Fund name. The Keaton Huebner Memorial Fund is desperately needing funds to help pay for funeral expenses. He deserves the Best and right now he is in a temporary mausoleum crypt but he needs to desperately be moved in Order to honor his being the Best! I can't thank everyone enough who has donated in one way or another.
If you cannot donate please forward this need to all of your family and friends because maybe they can. If anyone works for a corporate business they most likely have Charity donations in their budget. Most usually have to donate so much per year, it's just a matter of where they will donate so please help me get the word out!!! Much Love to you ALL! In lieu of flowers the family requests that contributions in his memory be made to the Keaton Huebner Memorial Fund at any Wells Fargo location, to assist with funeral expenses. Our Family could really use the donations for the funeral expenses. We still have sooooo much to pay. If you can donate every dollar counts, whether you donate one dollar or a thousand dollars, our family asks for your help. Keaton Deserves it for sure!!!!
ARE WE TOO OLD TO DRIVE THIS CAR? 
That's not what is different about it. 
No steering wheel, you drive it with a joystick. No pedals either. Can you drive with a joystick? Your kids and grandkids probably can. The influence of video games in our lives has really arrived, wouldn't you say? SCARY THOUGHT THAT NOW A 7-YEAR-OLD COULD STEAL YOUR CAR AND PROBABLY DRIVE IT BETTER THAN YOU.
