Still Here

We are still here for everyone wondering. We have been trying to find our new life now without Ben. Shaun is doing well, and Erin and I are both back hard at work all of the time. Going through what we went through puts a new prospective on our lives now, so things are some what different. Erin has been very active through different Internet groups for DIPG families. I prefer to stay in the background most of the time.

Erin has accepted a new job. She will be teaching math and science to 6th grade students at St. Andrew the Apostle School near our house. Ben went to St. Andrew's as much as he could for kindergarten. I know it was difficult for the other kids and parents when they learned about Ben's condition, but they were a wonderful community to join. Mrs. Williams will always hold a special place in our hearts for the warmth she showed, us knowing she was welcoming a dieing child and his family.

Erin's dad had Aortic Valve replacement surgery the other day and is doing very well, so we are grateful for that.

Thanks for checking on us.

Much love
The Sarrat Family
