On May 17th 2012, Mayor Jim Phaup of Sunnyvale, declared May 20-27th Atticus Hansen Week. It's with deep heartache and pride for my brave son that we enter another week dedicated to him.
Attcius--I love you honey. I miss you so much it makes me sick to my stomach.

Zoo Adventure
He LOVED holding the snake.
Jenny the Elephant painted this picture for him. He later asked me if a Lion could paint him a picture, telling me that, "he wouldn't need a paintbrush. He could just use his tail!!" I told him that if I ever run across a friendly Lion, I'll see what I can do.

We knew Atticus wasn't doing well, and were advised to "get things in order." None of us knew it would be as fast as it was. It was one of those days where I was so ticked off and angry thinking, people are posting that their getting their nails done or some crap like that, I just picked out my living sons burial spot.

I look at this picture and can't believe all that we had been through and all that we were about to go through. I had called hospice that morning, Saturday, because he was throwing up. They came right out and everything checked out fine. Heart rate- fine. Breathing- fine. His spirits- fine. A short 24 hours later, the "shiz hit the fan."

We love that sweet boy. We put our sign up yesterday...we miss him, but I know our missing him is nothing compared to yours. He is a spectacular boy.
I found your blog while Atticus was still fighting his brave battle and checked in frequently praying and hoping each time to see a miracle. Thank you for sharing your journey.Your sweet boy has stayed in my heart and I still love to read your blog. My heart goes out to you. Sending love filled prayers and hugs from this Mom in Oregon.

My heart still hurts for you. I've followed you since right after the diagnosis. May you continue to find peace and comfort through every day.
