Hockey, A Birthday, and Sad News

We had some sadness this month.  Oliver's good buddy Krystian passed away this month.  It has been so sad and so hard.  I am so proud of Oliver and his friends for coming together and helping each other through this super tragic and sad time. Krystian was a sweet boy and we will miss him very much.

Oliver had a hockey tournament right after his friend passed and I was so impressed by his hockey buddies and how they all come together to help him get through this. His coach was also amazing and it reminded me that this is what hockey is all about.  All the early morning practices and games, all the frustrated losses and fun wins, all the traveling, and all the waiting in the car.  It is all about being a part of something that when you need it the most it is there for you.  Hockey has been such a huge part of helping Oliver through this difficult time and I am so grateful that he has this amazing team and coach.   



Our alternate jerseys...
Such a great group of goofballs.  It was so great to see Oliver laugh with these clowns. 
We came in second place!
We saw this rainbow after Krystian's wake!
Then we got to celebrate Nana's birthday!
And Claire even let Oliver hug her!
