I know that when I married Russ - I did say the words "for better or for worse"
It is tough enough being a stepmother but this??
Loosing a stepchild - wasn't part of what I signed up for at all!
As a new mother - right now the most difficult thing for me to accept (and this may be selfish) is that my daughter, London will not remember her wonderful older brother, Konley. How unfair is that to a child? She will learn about Konley, who he was and all the things he enjoyed and how much he really loved her in the first 15 months of her life. Konley was soooo excited to be a big brother. He has always been the baby - never thought that he would have a chance to be an older sibling. I am thankful that London joined our family when she did - she gave this opportunity to Konley that no one else could of done. Even though it was a very short period - he loved her and she loved him to the fullest and I thank Konley for loving her as he did and teaching her the little things that he could.
Konley being a big brother
kisses
she watched him play soccer - this was after his last game
he loved putting her in the bag of his walker and taking her around the block for a walk
another crazy ride
introduced her to the Memphis Redbirds
reading stories at St. Jude
He was so excited when London came to St. Jude with him. He had to take her all around the first night and the next day to show her everything he loved about St. Jude.
towards the end he just wanted to hold, touch and kiss her
Thank you Konley for loving her.
