When Evan was born, it was instant love. He was such a good boy, such a joy to be with. At times, when I felt sad or frustrated or just plain blah...I would go get my "Evan Fix".
Evan's first Carnival was at the Italian Center Fair. His first ride was the Merry-Go-Round. He was a bit scared, but wanted to go and again and again when it was done. That same day he said one of his first words with me. He went to pick up someone's eaten food and I said "No, no Ev, that's Dirty." Well EVERYTHING was then dirty for the rest of day. He said "it's dirty, it's dirty, it's dirty" over and over again...
Definitely my favorite memory of Evan is Easter. I went over Lani and Brian's house to help make Easter Eggs. We boiled the eggs, put the colors in their cups, everything was perfect. We started to color them and all of a sudden, Evan's egg falls. As the egg is falling his little voice (he was about 5) said "Goddddddddd.....I said "don't say it Evan!" and before I could stop him or the egg, the egg hit the ground and out it came he said it..."Dammit". I said "oh no!" Lani threatened soap in the mouth of course, but he was just too cute to punish.
There are so many memories and so many things that I could write, but what I thank Evan for the most is

that if it
were not for
the love I
had for him,
I would
never have
had my own
child,
Amanda. I
thought, if
I could love
this little
boy this
much and he
is not my
own, not my
blood....what
kind of
feeling
would I have
for my own
child? Evan
gave me that
love, the
courage and
the will to
become a
mother
myself.
That is what
I am most
thankful
for.
I miss you
Evan. I love
you and no
matter the
distance,
you were and
always will
be in my
heart. I
love you.
