What Can I Do?

More than 600 people visited our blog yesterday, and we are assuming most of you are looking for ways you can help Nora and her family at this time.  Below is an exerpt from an email Nora sent out.  Please consider sending her a card, donating online or anything else you feel in your heart that may help at this time.

I have had many people asking me what they can do to help so I have thought of ten ways.  I am sure there are more so please don’t feel limited, this is a starting place. 

• Write February 16th, Ayrie’s birthday on your calendar and call us every year.  Stay connected.  Be in our lives.  Help us remember him with joy.
• Make a donation to our family through my sister’s paypal link on Ayrie and Shiya’s website, MurphyBoys.org. 
• Send us frequent flier miles or plane tickets so we can come visit you.
• Send cards or emails to me & Shiya at random times throughout the year.  We will still be grieving and needing your love and support in a week, in a month, in a year…
• Send ideas about how to honor and remember Ayrie through our thoughts, words and actions.
• Bring or send food so we don’t eat cheese sticks and apple sauce for dinner every night.
• Invited us to a place in nature or in the world that we’ve never seen before.
• Send photos and memories by mail or email that we can put in Ayrie’s memory book.
• Host a scrap booking party to help me build Ayrie’s memory book  (never done this before!)
• Help us cherish the old memories while building new ones.

With much love,

Nora
