Last Friday was the 6 month anniversary and since high school footballs games were played on Thursday, kids were able to come to the fundraiser, held monthly at the Buffalo Wings Factory. We took over the restaurant as so many people came. It is evident that our Josh is still loved and remembered. Our hearts were so encouraged.
We received some very special gifts that night. Tim is staying involved by filming the Langley games. The boys gave him a photo with their signatures. I received a plaque with the Lord's Prayer that will be placed by the dogwood tree we have planted in our front yard - in memory of our son.
I don't yet have the total amount raised, but when I do, I'll post it on the blog.
To end, here is a slide show of pictures taken at the restaurant.

I really don't know how I happened onto your blog. The story and pictures drew me in. I have four grown children, 3 boys and a girl. One of my son's birthday is March 18--he has struggled with similar issues as your son Josh. Although he is 29, he still struggles. I have read things he has written that remind me of what Josh wrote about trying to do the right thing and not disappointing his parents. My heart goes out to you-I can't imagine your loss or pain. Just know that another mother is praying for you.
