And Did I Mention Football?????GO STEELERS!!!!! Dakota,We Love You and Miss you so much.Life will NEVER be the same.Love Mommy and Ted....
Ask my mom how she is today
My Mom, she tells a lot of lies she never did before.
From now until she dies, she’ll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mom how she is and because she can’t explain, She will tell a little lie because she can’t describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how is she, She’ll say “I’m alright.”
If that’s the truth, then tell me, why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how is she, she seems to cope so well.
She didn’t have a choice you see nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is, “I’m fine, I’m well, I’m coping.”
For Gods sake Mom, just tell the truth just say your heart is broken.
She’ll love me all her life, I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how is she she’ll lie and say she’s fine.
I am here in Heaven. I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don’t listen, Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again, we’ll smile and I’ll be bold.
I’ll say, “You’re lucky to get in here, Mom with all the lies you told!” -unknown

Hello my dear friends & family~
As most of you know we are now getting ready for our fourth year of our wonderful event "Dakota's SPECTACULAR Day On The Lake". I have always said that this "day" is my new Christmas because to me it is that exciting and the joy is that awesome!! However I will have to say with each year we do it, brings back a flood of emotions that at moments are tough to bear. I think to myself how very proud Dakota would be of ALL of us who make this possible but even more than that I think of why I started this....which makes me think of Dakota's way to short of life because of CANCER....I still to this day & for the rest of my life HATE that word & even more so when it touches children!!! Tonight I have been working on the gift bags for the kids that are coming and with each move I make Dakota is in my EVERY thought. Once again I have cried a river tonight and wonder if people "get it" ....kids are getting sick and dying from something that a child should know NOTHING about. I guess this is one of those moments were my heart is so VERY confussed but yet my faith is so strong. I just feel that way to many think that if this awful thing has not touched a child YOU know, that way to many think it does not exist...well let me tell you that it does EXIST and the journey for these children is a long & brutal road!!! And that is why we do this day, again I want to honor Dakota the best way I know how and that is through love, laughter & making memories. Tonight as I was making the gift bags for the kids, I spoke to God, his loving son Jesus Christ and thanked them both for the many blessings that have come from Dakota's illness & passing. My thankgivings were...if we can help a child not feel like a "cancer" kid for one day, my pryers were answered but I also spoke loudly to my beautiful son Dakota and asked that he please guide me in what would make this day the kind of day he would have like to have. I know that I am rambling & rambling but I just want to help these SPECTACULAR kids...not only for them but for what I think Dakota would expect of me....The FOREVR PROUD momma of Dakota. I know Dakota was with me because while doing the gift bags I heard on the radio all three of Dakota's songs, and as I always do when I hear them...I stopped what I was doing and shared a dance with him...although I can no longer hold him, I hold my heart and feel his presence, love,and gratitude...God is good! If you can help in any way no matter how large or small please know that EVERY bit makes a difference!!! And if you would like to see first hand what a difference it makes then please join us and volunteer to help with this blessed day by making a donation, a side dish, or coming out to help with the kids. The SPECTACULAR day is June 17. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping in making a difference in these kidz lives......until there is a CURE, we will continue to fight with them and bring joy to their lives!!!!!
Love Lannette~The FOREVER PROUD momma to Dakota Michael Gay :)
