...since Christie was in the hospital the first time?
I've always loved the fall - the leaves falling and crackling underfoot, the crisp smell and feel of the air, that certain way the light falls this time of year... but this year is hard for me.…
Have you lost an adult child? What are some of your stories? Here is a place to celebrate and grieve for them.
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am an artist, writer, web designer/developer, entrepreneur, and aspiring philanthropist who loves music, clean air, debate, politics, Photoshop, cats, butterflies, the ocean, thunderstorms... I'm a wife and mother of three children - Jeremy (23) and Ryan (17), and Christie, who, on May 7th, 2009, left this world at age 19. There was a time before she passed that I could have told you all about who I am in no uncertain terms. Now... my life has changed and I have changed; nothing is clear anymore with my light gone. I have yet to discover who I am now, or what path the rest of my days will take.
- Tell a little about the person lost...
- Christiana Noelle Reese was a beautiful, intelligent, loving, accepting girl who saw beauty in almost everyone she met. She gave a lot to the world... she taught people how to be strong, how to accept themselves for who they are, how to smile in the face of adversity, how to believe in themselves regardless of what others might say. She loved music, animals, shoes, politics, her family, and driving. She had a keen, silly, dark sense of humor, a warm, engaging grin, and a quick, bright mind. She meant so much to so many... and she meant everything to me.
Christie was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on October 28, 2008 and passed to the other side on May 7th, 2009, whether from physician error or the lymphoma we aren't yet 100% sure... but we - along with several others, including an attorney - do not believe she died from lymphoma, regardless of the hospitalist saying Christie had end-stage lymphoma. Just one week prior to her death, her oncology team had pronounced her 99.8% cancer-free... and we trust them more than the crappy hospitalist that treated her for the last time. We're still awaiting closure on that, but the hospital is making it near impossible to get Christie's records for review.
Her passing left a huge void in the lives of so many... from her brothers to her dad and I, from her best friends and classmates to the doctors and nurses who had become so attached to her during her treatment. She loved so many people, and was loved by so many in return.
We love you more than we can say, Pookins, and can't wait to see you again. Wait for me, my baby girl...
- How did you find My Loving Tribute?
- Found out about the site from Rod Reinhardt, who lost his wonderful son Chris to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and has a page here.
