Dear Logan,
It's that time of the year again. It's time to get ready for the March for Babies Walk in April. This is such a bittersweet event. Last year when I walked, it was a week after your passing. I debated whether to do it, or just donate all the money that we received. When I decided to walk, I never in a million years expected you not to be around anymore. But God has other plans. Instead of walking in Honor of you, I walked in Memory of you.
This year, I am walking In Memory of you again. The event, once again happens almost a week after your anniversary. I really can't think of a more time-appropriate and meaningful way to remember you, than to do this walk. A little different this year is that I am walking as Team The Arc of San Francisco, instead of Team Logan The Lobster. Last year, my friends at work organized a walk themselves because of you. This year, I think I am going to organize it to get my clients involved in such a meaningful cause again. I don't know what the turnout would be, since I don't work in the SF office and is kind of difficult to get my co-workers and clients to get all excited about this event. But either way, even if there's only one other client walking, I will be doing it.
Since we moved down to Sunnyvale, we will have to get up really early this year to get to the event by 9 a.m. I am still not sure if I will be bringing your brother or Daddy with me. I am pretty sure I will since we're doing this for you. I have set my monetary goal a little smaller this year. Last year, unexpectedly, we received overwhelming support from our friends and families. I think it was because of your passing, and people really were moved and touched by all that we have gone through. This year, it might be a little different, though I have already received generous donations from my friends already. I am pretty sure I will reach my goal, as both Daddy and Mommy will donate to the cause ourselves, and should pretty much be able to reach our $500 goal.
Will you be walking with us in spirit? I bet you will!
Miss you,
Mommy
