New Pics



This is our last family portrait taken by Arlene just days before Will passed away.




Dr. Bove (Will's heart surgeon) and one of Will's roommates, Jeremiah Pearson. We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to get to know him and his parents, Arlene and Judd.

Arlene sent me these pictures in the mail and I thought I would share them with you. Seeing the picture of the three of us brought a lot of memories back of Will's final days. This picture to me really captures how sick Will was... poor little guy. He was so miserable. Seeing this picture comforts me in that letting Will go was the right thing to do, no matter how painful. It wasn't fair to him. He deserved better.

Josh and I are doing ok. I just got offered a position with a property management company for an apartment community in the West End area of Nashville. I will be a leasing associate. I'm looking forward to getting back in the workforce. We're also going to be moving in with Josh's parents next month because our rent is getting ridiculously high and we are looking to build a house... probably in the Hendersonville area. So, that's very excited to us. Our first home!

Will's Home Video



This video was taken on February 8th, the day before Will's final open heart surgery, the Rastelli Procedure. It's the only home video we have of him. I'm excited that I have finally found a way to share it with everyone. It was taken on our digital camera. Enjoy!!

You need Macromedia Flashplayer 8 to see the video. If you don't have it, you can download it for free at this website: www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

Hearts United Video



I found this very touching movie on a carepage for the Husted family. I hope you enjoy it.
