Hi there everyone
I have been a little puzzled as to how to go on with Eli's blog...and im sure it will come to me in time. I would be happy to take advice/comments/suggestions. I was thinking it might be a wonderful tool to keep Eli's memory alive, particularly for fundraising events or any major things that happen for the Simpson family. The only reason i am wondering is that it is clear that we are still getting hits on the blog which means there is still some interest around.
I am hoping to update the blog soon to have a chat about eli's celebration which was held on the 21st November in bairnsdale. We are hoping to put on a picture file as well as petes and my speech we made.
Without going into too much detail, it was an awesome day and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our son's life. While it was clearly sad at times, it was also full of smiles and some laughter which is exactly what we wanted.
Pete and i are still very very lost without our son. We miss him terribly but are determined to take tiny steps forward. We decorated our house with our christmas lights today...something we have done each year we have been together. While a teeny bit sad, we are looking forward to sharing the experience with all the little kids around the town who love looking at christmas lights, just like we did with eli. We would invite any of you to pop around and have a sticky beak any time...
Eli is home with us now and we feel a great sense of relief. All together again.
Best go and get some grub...and we will try and write about eli's celebration early next week.
Have a lovely weekend and keep the rain coming eli!
love and hugs
the simpsons

Hey Pete and Jodes,
I had a thought after speaking to you on Friday Jodes... This year I ran in the "run for the kids" fun run in Melb and I beleive a few other of your friends and family did too. We all ran/walked thinking of Eli after he had just been diagnosed. I'm very keen to enter again for next years run as I'm sure are other people. This year I noticed teams of family and friends running in support of other little tackers that were fighting for their life or had lost their battle. Maybe we could run a Team Eli next year??? The run is the 5th April 2009 and raises money for the RCH. Web site is www.runforthekids.com.au. Just another thought to keep him in our hearts and minds and of the other families going through the same war while at the same time raising money for the hospital. Theres a while to think about it but just wanted to run it by you... lots love Steph A.
