Grandpa and I were sitting in a restaurant on Hwy 52 when we got a text asking what we would be doing on October 10th. We thought about it for a minute… it was so far away and then responded “nothing”.

Then Josh told us that’s the day you’re expecting a grandchild!! We were sooo excited to hear this and could hardly wait!! Would it be a boy or girl? My mind could only imagine what the baby would look like…Then on October 10th we got a phone call from Josh that Cassie was in labor. I have never heard of a baby being born right on their due date before and yet this one was determined to be. I thought maybe the baby would be born at 10:10 that morning but had another chance that night lol but that was not to be. There we were at the hospital waiting for Liam to be born. We were so excited. We could hear him crying and could only imagine what he looked like. I couldn’t wait to hold him…look at him and see what he inherited from our side of the family.

Then it was time to meet my precious 10/10/10 baby…the one that already had my heart and forever would have it. As I held him and looked at his perfect little face with the perfect little nose and perfect little lips and perfect little fingers I couldn’t wait until he opened his eyes. I wanted to hold him forever. I didn’t want to give him back. But there was others that wanted to hold him as much as I did. He was perfect. And 10/10/10 fit him perfectly.

I L❤️VE and miss you sooo VERY MUCH, Liam….

we did not really know each other but when we would talk he would always make me smile 

Me and Liam were Science partners and I wanted to find out if my closet was attached to the crawl space in my house. Liam helped me search online for the floorplan but we could not find one, Me and him used the back of my planner and made a model of my house. We would erase and draw different ideas for what could be behind this little grate in my closet. I was kinda scared of it so I would push heavy drawers against it to keep it closed. That night I opened the grate, it was just an old heating system but I had been wondering about it for years, and without Liam, I probably wouldn't have opened it. I'm glad I got to know Liam even if it was just for a year, he was like a brother to me, and I'm so glad I got to share parts of my life with him.

July, 2023. streets of southglenn movie theater. Me, my friends, josie,charlie, and Liam went to see the barbie movies together in july. This was a core memory for me because i had a lot of fun with those friends over summer and it hurts to think I can't do anything with the same group with everyone there. (Me josie and charlie are still good friends, we wish liam was with us.)
