Hanging on...

The holidays are difficult--but we are doing our best to get through it all. It's been a really long and tough 9 months without Elizabeth. I just haven't felt like posting here because, really, what's the point? The whole reason we even started the blog was to keep friends and family updated about Elizabeth... and well... you know how that's going by now.

I do want to say thank you again to everyone who contributed to Elizabeth's memorial fund. We have not spent any of the money yet since I am still working on a project in Elizabeth's name, and I think there is even a batch of checks we never deposited--just more stuff that reminds us Elizabeth is dead and it is just so frustrating and sad. I have been in contact with the hospice service that took care of us, and we plan to use the money on some project with them.

Anyone who needs an end-of-year tax write off should look at donating to some of our favorite groups that really do help the cancer kids:

• Children's Hospital Los Angeles
• Michael Hoefflin Foundation
• Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times
• Trinity Kids Care Hospice Los Angeles
