Canady family....: April 2009

I haven't "blogged" in a really long time...I've been super busy, some days overwhelmed with life in general! On March 5 one of my very closest friend's, Holly Darrah and her unborn child, Cole Alexander died in a car accident. I have never lost someone that close to me before. I don't know what to do most days with it. Holly left behind a 4 1/2 year old sweetie(whom survived the car accident), Riley and her husband of 9 months Luke, or "Lukey" as her and Ry like to call him! :) I try to go through my day as if it were "normal" and I see her beautiful smiling face EVERYWHERE I go!!! Some days I'm in total denial that I will NEVER see her again in the flesh! It is really all too much! I am filled with so much worry and concern for Riley and Luke. Who is going to braid Ry's hair, who is going to pick out her sassy "rock and roll" T's, who is going to update her webkin and jam out to Hannah Montana with her in the car? These things are all so important to Riley! And Luke, how do you get past this, how can you move on, how do you "pretend" everything is normal? When really I'm sure he just wants to SCREAM!!!! I can't imagine. I just want to erase that day so badly....can it really be true! A sweet baby girl left motherless, a wonderful husband and daddy left without the absolute LOVE of his life and his precious son! I'm doing my best, I know I have to continue to take the girls to ballet, have birthday parties, go to Easter celebrations...but I just want Holly there helping out all the kids like she always did, filling the room with so much happiness, and making sure Ry had the BEST decorated Easter Eggs! :)

Here are some pictures of beautiful Holly, I want everyone to know how wonderful of a person she was. So kind and generous, adored by all who came into her life. Cole is lucky to have his mommy so close to him!
