It's two weeks today that Brandon Passed away, and I'm still thinking it's a very bad dream. I'm numb and still cannot accept it. It's very difficult. Eric is back to work this week. We go to Brandon's grave everyday and bring flowers, then we talk to him..
Last week we returned all Brandon's books and met his Guidance Counselor , principal and teachers. There's some tears that was shed again. We also went to Falls Road at Home and Hospital center and returned all his books. We met all his educators there and they are planning to place a plaque with Brandon's name in their Memorial garden. It's so beautiful there with lots of flowers and they said we could stop-by any time we want. We don't know yet when is the plaque will be ready, they will contact us during the dedication.
Franklin High School is planning a Basketball Game on April 24 in Memory of Brandon's and one of their teachers that passed away with cancer. All proceeds will go to Jimmy V. Foundation for Cancer Research. They already made a short writing about Brandon and they will read it during the halftime of the game. They also ask for Brandon's pictures. They said the will save a section of Brandon's friends and family. Here's their add:
