I was doing some stuff in my control panel for my website when I came across an old page redirect to the geocities site I had years ago. I had forgotten that I gave Hayden my Geocities account so he could make his own website.
http://www.geocities.com/1reptile/

Looking at it makes my heart hurt so bad and I can't stop crying. He was so smart and witty, only 9 years old when he made that website. I bet he had forgotten about it too, I wish he was here so I could show it to him and we could make fun of it and laugh.

Well I'm off in about an hour to a funeral, my cousin committed suicide on Wednesday. He was 49 years old and left behind his very frail and elderly and sweet parents, my great aunt and uncle that I love very much. Today is going to be a very tough day.

Awwww, Kelli. What a cool website Hayden built! I especially like the link to HISS's website where it says, "My mom's website about geckos and snakes. Got there if you want to buy some". LOL!!! I'm glad you found it, and sorry if made you feel so sad.

I'm sorry too, about your cousin and his family he left behind. I'm sure the funeral will dredge up a lot of pain for you as well.

I love you girlfriend.

Wow. Thanks for sharing the website Hayden made, Kelli. That's too cool. I want to say I can't believe that a nine year old made that, but then considering everything I've heard about Hayden, I'm not surprised how good of a job he did. Seriously, my first website wasn't anywhere near that cool. "Welcome to my site of Insanezz. Don't go crazy! You'll end up in the mental hospital!!!" No kidding! He gave good advice. ;)

I'm so sorry about your cousin, Kelli. I really wish there was something I could do to console or help you. If you want to talk, or just hang out, give me a ring. I feel a gazillion times better today, and I'm sorry I missed your call last night. Please don't be afraid to ask a friend for anything.

That website is amazing, I can barely figure out how to use our website builder and he was only 9. What a talented guy! We'll be thinking about you and Steve today and we love you both. Feel free to call if you need anything, I wish I could give you a hug.

Kelli, it took me almost a week to reply to this, because I could not even talk to you about it either, it just broke my heart, Hayden, a wonderful child, an he did that site, when he did that site I could barely do sites like that and I am not much better now. He was just a very special boy and always will be. I just wish I could have met him.

The trip to Tx to see you and everyone else was so great and I needed it so so much but Hayden was missing and I just kept looking around knowing everything would be different if he was there, me and Marcia could have picked on him about girls, just everything.

I hope that he knows how much he is missed even by those who never met him.
