I get to this time of year and all my thoughts are about Chloe. You see, I'm working on the annual fundraiser for the organization that is her namesake, The Chloe T. Foundation. I wonder if she is proud of what we have been able to accomplish. Does she smile every time a child gets one of our stuffed animals? I miss her terribly but feel my purpose in life is to work on the foundation. Her mission while here was to make us realize how the kids feel at the hospital and to know there are other parents like hers who feel so helpless when their child is hospitalized.
As I sit here, I'm looking at her picture near Halloween. She is dressed in a yellow duck costume looking up at mom and I can all but hear her say with her eyes, "Gest, Mom, did you have to put in a duck suit?" I needed a break from working on the fundraiser and thought writing about Chloe might help. It does.
Chloe - Wherever you are, please know how much I love you, miss you and am happy you are free to soar with the eagles in your pretty, white wings. Freedom to do the things you couldn't here on earth. Love, Nana
