KLR turns 15 "Lake"

A year ago I posted about a wonderful young man who turned 14 -

WOW what this past year has brought, A LOT to and through our lives. I spoke of the Foundation Lake had become with no ideal of the amazing strength that would shine during the time of the  loss of his brother (his hero). Lake turns 15 tomorrow and looking back at on his "backward crybaby little self" - HE IS A WONDERFUL, GIFTED, POWERFUL, LOVING young man. I'm not sure what I expected (well maybe.. I did - from a teenage boy) but what I got was the most amazing show of LOVE and strength. This past year Lake has poured himself into loving and supporting a lot of different things - the things most young men don't have time for. The support of "Operations Smile" (continued support from Mitch's choice of charity's) helped raise $2000.00 (Life Celebration Bonfire) this year in the loving memory of Mitchell. "ALS" (supporting his Uncle Mike) helped raise $2000.00 (4th of July ALS awareness / Picnic) and so much compassion toward Mike and Sheila's wonderful story of LOVE (and thankful to be apart of their life)!! "Cystic Fibrosis" raised $200.00 in a walk ..... AND recently just fell head over heals for a wonderful little soul in Nashville ~ My precious friend Tammy (who loves so BIG) shared a story of Savannah Hope an 11yr old little girl who is diagnosed with "alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma" Lake had no ideal what to do but wanted to do something - He gathered up a few friends to raise awareness of Childhood Cancer - Pictures sent to Savannah pouring out love and HOPE and a video in production now to raise awareness "these guys put their heart and soul into this video". I am so proud of the "Sweetheart" he is.  Happy 15 wonderful years, LAKE you are amazing to me!!

Until tomorrow ~ Loving you today.. Melissa
