On the flip side, June 20th, 2005 marks a tragic date for our family. My cousin, Adam Clever was killed in a car accident. Every year since his death, his mom travels back to Ohio to visit his grave site. This year her daughter, Sarah, traveled back to Ohio to be with her mom. Even though it was for sad reasons, it did allow for our family to be together this weekend. It also let both my aunt and my cousin meet Keegan. And, Keegan will be the first person to tell you that he fell in love with Sarah. Sarah would sing songs to Keegan and tickle him all over. He could not stop smiling and laughing at Sarah.
We had a great time being with Sarah and Cheryl on Saturday. On my drive home from my parents house I had a chance to reflect on my cousin Adam. I have always felt terrible for the pain that Cheryl and Sarah have gone through because of Adam's death. I have always felt that my Aunt Cheryl has been an extremely strong person. But, it has not been until Keegan's birth that I realize what a truly strong woman my Aunt Cheryl is. I hope to never understand the pain that she goes through due to the loss of her child. I hope you know Aunt Cheryl that you are a wonderful, beautiful, and courageous woman! Our family loves you and only prays for wonderful days ahead for you. Please know that we continue to think of Adam and I know that he is looking down from Heaven watching over our families...
