Letter: ‘For This, We Are Forever Grateful’

When we moved to New Canaan, I knew three facts: we would be near my brother and his family, we would finally have more than 1500 square feet of living space, and our children would get a top-notch education. My biggest fears, expressed to many closest to me were: Would I make friends and how would I fill my family’s fridge and bellies with food when we lived 12 minutes from the closest food store and I worked full time? On December 10th, my son died at our home after being accidentally struck by a vehicle and suffering severe head trauma upon impact with our driveway. He was 21 days shy of his 2nd birthday. We experienced the unimaginable.
