After 4 years the legal case is finally wrapping up.  I am very glad to put that part of that part of this whole ordeal behind me. This winter was very difficult for me. Talking to the lawyers and such. Describing what happened was so very, very hard. Our lawyer decided to settle the case and not take it to trial. I will not have to again describe in detail to lawyers and such what happened. I was not looking forward to that part.. I was though hoping to meet the lady that hit out van and to be able to share with her what a great person Cody was and what he meant to me. I hope she slows down, drives much more careful and never puts another family what we have been through.

Cody's Mom,

If you to have lost a teenage child and are coping OK and have some advice I would appreciate hearing from you. It has now been 4 years and of course some days are easier than others. But as the days grow colder and with Christmas fast approaching...I find myself feeling sad as I think of Cody and his fate more and more. Maybe it is because he would have turned 21 this month. Maybe it is because I had to answer interrogatories a few weeks ago. Or because I had to meet with lawyers a few days ago for my deposition. In the deposition I had to talk about what happened in the accident. It is still so very, very hard to talk about it. I try not to think about it as I always get upset. I wish I did not remember every terrible detail of that day. All I know is right now today....
I really, really, really miss my Cody boy. 


Carrick and I walked away from the car accident .I am thankful to be here on earth and able to spend another year with him and both of us are in good health. Carrick turned 18 this year, graduated from high school  and has turned out to be a really great guy. He is such a blessing to  me.  So funny and smart. Please keep us in your prayers this year and I do hope that you and your family have a happy and memorable holiday season.
