April 5th Day + 57 Shears of Hope Cut-A-Thon

Ryan,

Today mommy and Ally were invited to join Cindy, Shannon, Jody and the staff of Village Hair Studio in there efforts in raising money for Sick Kids Hospital. We set off early and Ally got her hair cut by Jody and put in her donation in the box for sick kids. Your sister Kayla was also there to support you, she gave her donation as well, but did not get her hair cut as she has dance competitions coming up soon and it needs to be long enough to tie up.

Ryan you should have seen it, the staff were dressed in your favorite color, yellow. You are so right, it is a bright and happy color. There were yellow flowers, and your pictures were also up.

Mommy really can not thank Village Hair Studio enough for doing this in your honor. I am sure that they are going to have a very successful day. It is amazing how many kind and generous people there are out there willing to help.

Ryan, once you are able, I will take you there so you can meet all the wonderful people at the salon and we will have Jody cut your hair. It is such a wonderful place, great atmosphere, friendly and personable staff and always with out a dought a great cut, color and style.

Mommy thanks them from the bottom of her heart for what they have done.

Heather, Kathryn's mom was also there with one of her friends. She is truly an amazing person and mommy has become very fond of her. She understands what we are going through as a family as their family is going through the same thing. Mommy thanks her so much for coming.

Your Auntie Nicole, Ethan and Aidan came aswell, Ethan said he was shaving his head again, so you were not along in this. He really misses you and wants you to get well, as do we all.
Auntie Tina and Stevie, Deannie, Cindy and Kayla, Tanya and Lia, Carol Ann and Mike, Crystal, James, Savannah, and James Jr. were also there . I am sure if we had stayed longer we would have seen more people but Ally really needed to get home for her nap.

Mommy wants to extend her thanks to everybody who went to the salon today to support Village Hair Studio's event.

Thanks to all

Mommy loves you Ryan and you are loved by so many wonderful people

Mommy

  1. Hey Suzie,
    I REALLY wanted to come out Sunday, but I have the absolute worst cold/flu right now and I thought the last thing you need is to get sick around Ryan, so I've made a donation directly to Sick Kids' in ryan's name.
    I follow your blog all the time and I know the road has been bumpy thus far, but you guys are all troopers. Keep your heads up and hopes high. You will make it through this - I promise!

  2. Dear Sue,
    So sorry that I didn't get out to support Sick Kids on Sunday. I will make a donation in Ryan's name for Easter.

    You and your family are always on my mind and I will look forward to GOOD NEWS on Wednesday.

    Keep your chin up and stay strong.
