Week 22

"I think we should give those flowers to all the Grammies and Grandpa's, because Mommy would like that"

Those are the words of Paige Hagan;

Everyones positive stories, of her importance in their lives. Will become memories that can be shared forever. Following an exceptional service, May 5th, 2010, at St. Paul's Church in Burlington. Where many joined together, radiating all that Meredith brought to our lives. It was impossible to imagine life without her. In the waves of mere disbelief, head in hands. There seemed to be a positive relief, a reason to hold your head up high. Paige! was/is the strength of us all! With her positive attitude, optimistic view on life and desire to make everyone around her feel their best. At 6 years old, she is a true advocate, reflecting all that Meredith represents.

Always excited to put her own creativity in anything she does. Paige was more then excited to make the vases of flowers. Hand picking, from the generously donated flowers, waiting at the Altar of the Church in her Mother's memory. Size, shape, colour and placement of every flower, was very important to her. Despite the rain, we made fun of it and headed to Park Avenue Manor.

Flowers in hand, we arrived to a room filled with aged women. Quickly enlightened with Paige's gift of thoughtfulness, brightful presence and youth. One women asked, "Where did these come from?" I hazily replied and the nurse quickly interrupted with disbelief. Confidently she informed me that not too long ago, Paige's Great Grandma used to reside at Park Avenue. Wouldn't that just be the case!
