In Memory
Thinking today of my nephew
Sean.
Tomorrow will be the anniversary
of his passing, he was 8 yrs old.
It is really hard to believe that
it has been 24 years.
We learned when he was 4 years
old that he had cancer.
There was a tumor at the
base of his skull and another
at the base of his spine.
Neither could be removed.
Vanderbilt Hospital was awesome
in Sean's care.
He is a pic of him, his brother and
sister and my kids.

My daughter Amber,
that is Sean next to her
Next to Sean is Sean's older
brother by 13 months, Chase.
Bottom row- left to right is
my son Cory and Seans sister
Paige.
I went with mom today to
put flowers on his grave.
While there we also put
some on Dad's grave.
Lost Dad May 12, 1987.
I was pregnant with Cory.
The only grandchild he knew
was my daughter Amber.
While putting out the flowers
my mom informed me that
lavender was his fav
color...maybe that is
where my love of
purple came from.
Dad has been gone 30
years now.
Old pic-
Left to right....
me, my younger brother Mark,
Dad, Mom and my older
brother Ray.
1987 was a rough year. I was pregnant and
at four months my granny left this
world. my husbands grandfather
past in April that yr.
and my dad in May.
We were buying a house.
It was stressful.
Now back to Sean.
At one point he told his mom
that he did not want to go live
with Jesus.
She thought for a second and
told him that Jesus and God
only wanted the best with
them and they picked him.
He thought for a minute and then
said, " Do you think he will
let me operate the rain button "?
When Sean past there in
Vandy Hospital, at that
moment if came a downpour...
just a few minutes and then stopped.
I got my kids through his
passing by telling them that
Sean was operating the rain
button and every time it
rained they would smile and
tell me Sean was doing it again.
In 2003 Country songwriter
and singer cut a song the
song, " Help Pour Out the Rain"...
Oh my gosh, I could not listen to
that song for a long time.
I met Buddy Jewel a few yrs ago
and was able to tell him about
Sean and wanting to work
the rain button.
Here is Buddy's song.
Sorry, I have no clue how to load
a video other then this way.
thanks for stopping in,

There are a couple ways to embed videos. One: if you click on that clapboard-looking thingy (between the picture and the emoji), it gives you a way to load the link to use.
The way I usually do it, though, is to go on YouTube and click on "embed". It gives a few choices. I pick the Blogger icon. Then I copy the HTML code from the pop up window that appears and paste it to the HTML tab in the post I'm writing.
The first way is way easier, I suspect.
