Stories: Who We Have Lost
All of the Firsts
Who did you lose to Covid 19? Donovan Kittell
Donovan, I know you are watching over all of us who love and miss you. It’s so hard to live without you sometimes (every minute really). This Halloween will be your niece’s first Halloween (and her first Thanksgiving & Christmas). All of these firsts are joyous but so sad to me at the same time. You are an Uncle! Uncle Donovan.
Halloween has always been so special for me- after all you and your sister share birthdays on that day – but it has also become a very hard day for me. You should be here my babyboy. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you. Keep watching over us. Keep watching over your niece on all her “firsts.”
I love you bunches–Mom xoxo
