Tax Day aka Diagnosis Day

To most people, April 15th is the day their tax returns are due. To us, April 15th marks the day when our lives changed forever. Two years ago today Max was diagnosed with MPS. We will never forget looking at his smiling face as the doctor told us the news. We will never forget the anguish we felt knowing he'd probably only live 5-10 years. Little did we know that he'd be gone only 7 months later.

It's been very hard this week as this anniversary approached. We miss our son more and more each day, and Grace deeply misses having a brother. It is still all so unbelievable to us, and yet all too real.

Much has been happening since we last wrote, but we will save all of that for another update. Tonight we just want to remember our sweet Max.
