On June 21, 2010, I lost one of the most beautiful and amazing people I have ever met.  My mother-in-law, Lois.
She was the best grandmother one could ever have. She was funny, loving and had the ability to brighten up any room just by walking into it. On her way to her aerobics class, Lois was killed in a horrific car accident. Time STOPPED.  My Father-in-law’s wife of 40 years was taken from him, my wife lost her best friend, my kids lost an amazing grandparent. It was an extremely rough thing to go through. 

As a husband, father and son, I needed to be strong and supportive for everyone around me. I tried to keep myself held together by channeling my creative energy and I focused on writing a SILLY story that Lois would have LOVED to laugh with and read to all her grandchildren. (She had 4 at the time, ages 3-5). I shared HOW TO CATCH A COLD with Mike, my father-in-law. He was just as an amazing person as Lois.
