I’m going to try to make this blog post short…although in my life Trevor’s short life has a long story! I know this may sound funny to some but to me it is very real! Trevor speaks to me on a regular basis, much like other people in my life that I have lost speak to me….Trevor’s message is also loud and clear in our community as it was very apparent to me today.
As I woke up this morning and started thinking about my day, I was relieved to feel like I could breath….. Although, I feel very blessed to be running my own business and I feel very blessed to be busy, the deadline of the holidays is sometimes overwhelming. Today, when I awoke I felt like we were moving along with our production and holiday cards and things are being delivered and it is all going to be ok. I started thinking about gift giving and about the upcoming holiday celebrations and heard Trevor tell me that his mom and dad would be very happy if I put “the links” up on his website. That would be a perfect gift for them was what I heard him say. To explain “the links”, I have taken many photographs of Trevor and his family over the past years, SO MANY in fact that when I go to weed them down to a reasonable amout for others to view, I get overwhelmed and can’t seem to decide which ones would be best. I have been unable to complete and finish the project…therefore there are no photographs on TREVORS lovely new website….TREVORKOTT.COM. This has made me very sad and has weighed very heavy on my heart! Angela has asked me several times if I could do it and I keep saying yes and then I get a mental block! Today, was going to be the day to tackle the task and be able to give the gift to Angela, Bob and the girls, the gift of sharing the wonderful photographs of Trevor on their website for all to see. I was excited and focused. I grabbed my coffee, dropped off one of my children at her babysitting and then went to drop off some Holiday Cards to a client/friend. As I set her cards gently on her porch I noticed that she had not gotten her newspaper (The Sacramento Bee) off the porch yet and was relieved thinking she would be excited to open the door to her paper and her cards! As I looked down at the paper I noticed Trevor’s photograph (the one I took of him as the bone marrow drives started, to try and find a match for him). This photograph became the photograph used to spread awareness EVERYWHERE! Bob and Angela had been interviewed recently about how Trevor’s legacy has lived on and how much they are contributing in spreading the word about the importance of bone marrow donations and getting swabbed. I feel like I am rambling and I’m not making sense, but that is OK…today I heard Trevor loud and clear, take time to smell the roses, take a deep breath and remember to live! I LOVE HIS MESSAGES and I miss him, he will always be a little angel in my life forever! Here are some of the photographs I came across as I am getting those “LINKS” together for my gift!
