Here is a gift-a beautifully written story-that my son, Kyle, gave to me for Mother's Day 2015. Although Kyle has written poems and letters for me before (for Mother's Day), nothing could have prepared me for the tears and incredible sense of pride this story evoked. A Mother's Day Story “Alright, sweetie, time for bed now. No more stories.”

What a tribute. To you AND Vaughn and the parents and partners you are. Every time I read a post or entry of yours I stop to think how incredible it is that you have touched so many lives in your moment of tragedy. It makes me believe. And I know you were chosen because you are the woman you are. Thank you for sharing your strength with those of us who need nudging.

Wow - so beautiful. You must have wept and wept Denise, what a fantastic story, and how proud you must be of Kyle. You have really shown your children what is most important in life and they seem to have absorbed it all completely. What a wonderful gift you have given them, and what a wonderful gift he has given you. Huge love to you all x

Thanks Heidi for sharing my post with your friends in England. The story, with its tales of castles and princesses, seems so fitting for someone in England to read. I appreciate the kind words too :-)

Thanks Sandy. I appreciate all the support you continue to give me and the family. It's nice to hear that there is something positive that can come from our situation. It makes each day a little easier to combat just knowing that. XXOO

Speechless... It is amazing that Kyle already understands true love. It is because he see it every day in your and Vaughn's eyes.

That's what makes me the happiest...that our children appreciate what true love is and that they would never settle for anything less than the real thing!

Thanks Arash. I think his talent far exceeds mine. Kyle is a physics major, but I hope he also taps into his natural writing ability whenever he gets a chance! Miss seeing you at SciFit!

I instantly got chills that ran from the top of my head, down to the tips of my toes. I am beyond moved. Beyond touched. The love of your family for one another is inspiring and powerful. Profoundly moving...

Thanks Jill. That means a lot. I had the same feeling when I read it too. I had chills and could barely get through it myself! My son is a physics major, so I'm not even sure where this talent came from! Thanks for the kind thoughts! XXOO
