When we came home from Ellie's Light Up the Lanes event a couple of months ago, there was an overhead light burned out. Starting the day after she died, our lights have have been burning out at an unusual rate! Sometimes it's pretty ridiculous! Lights in cars, hallways, the kitchen, lamps- you name it, she's burned it out! Yes it's annoying for us to constantly change light bulbs, but I really just have to laugh! Every time a light burns out, I just picture Ellie up there laughing and growling at us- just so pleased with herself! She has definitely done this for us! I could write about many things that Ellie does to let us know she is still here, but one of my favorites is her burning out lights! When we were saying our goodbyes to Ellie, I told her to let us know that she was still with us after she became an angel.
BROKEN ROADS 2012 UPDATE
I've been meaning to do a little update on Ellie's Light and this has provided the perfect opportunity- so here we go. I know, without a doubt, that it makes Ellie very happy to see how her joy and love has continued on. And I am so completely grateful for everyone that has in some way, big or little, helped us keep Ellie's memory alive. Ellie's Light has played a huge part in my survival during the last two years. It allows me to speak freely of our beautiful girl and share her picture with anyone I can. I refused to let Ellie just fade into the background as the world moved on.Įllie's Light has given me something positive to focus on, especially during hard times like birthdays, anniversaries and during holidays. I knew that Ellie's life was meant to be something special and I knew there had to be more than just those amazing nine months and ten days we had with her. I didn't want October 29th, 2010- the day of her burial to be the end of her story. I guess I wanted a way to keep talking about Ellie, adding pictures to her photo album, adding to her story. I'm not sure why I felt the need to start Ellie's Light.
