On Broken Wings to Soaring High
I may be a stranger to some of you, or some of you may have wondered where I have been? My name is Jenelle, I am Cristian’s Mommy. I never left, I have always been in “my space” mourning the loss of my son and continuing his legacy in the way I deemed best.
Today Cristian has blessed me once again. A dream that I’ve had for a long time has come to fruition. It’s been a long time coming and when it finally launches, I will use this venture as an instrument to help our cause of curing DIPG for good.
Monday, July 25 marked two and a half years since Cristian earned his wings and left this world for Heaven. He has been an amazing presence in my life, more so in the last few months than ever before.
