    Thank you for loving Jamie and celebrating the goodness in him. He loved a wicked joke, a good game & a strong gimlet. We will celebrate his life, but are taking time to figure out the best way. How do you say goodbye to a man who made everyone feel like a friend? Love, Christy

    Was at my son’s baseball game this am ☀️ Watched all the baseball dads cheer for their boys & wished my kids could have just one more day, one more hug. Loved this pic, Jamie was always so present for the games, recitals & moments. For those missing Dads today, much love ❤️

    I used to bake a lot. But cancer, then grief made it just too hard. Even the precision in baking didn’t bring the order back that I craved. Tonight I baked. Cakey choc chip. There still isn’t order.. life still is v hard. But my kitchen smells wonderful. Happy Friday ❤️

    Two years-Like yesterday & a lifetime. Grief isn’t linear, it’s messy. Losing your past and your future and the person who knew you best I’m strength I didn’t know I had - while the neediest I’ve ever been. What's your grief story? Share here 👇really need them today 💙

    This weekend we remembered Jamie, by sending light to the sky. I know he was with us. I miss him. I know you do too. So get a colonoscopy, hug your kids, drink a gimlet. Talk soon - love Christy (3)

    Solo parenting victory: taught my son how to drive. Spent 50+ hrs behind the wheel with him. Sat in the back seat today while he took his road test (put my head in lap, w/ earbuds & a meditation app streaming 😵‍💫, such torture) He passed. ☀️

    We all need to work to fight early onset colon cancer. While my mind says mobilize and advocate, my broken heart says take time to grieve. I will be stepping away from social media for awhile. But when I come back-I will need your help to take on #ColonCancer in Jamie's name.(2)
