~*Kathy (Mom) Harder*~
I am completely overwhelmed by this website
that Tania has made in memory of our darling Hayley.
I have just finished watching Survivor, which was always something
that Hayley and I did together. We were fanatics, having not missed
barely an episode since it first began when she was in Mrs. Hobb's
Grade 7 class. Ever since then it has been a Thursday night ritual
for us to get dinner and dishes out of the way, get washed up and
jammies on and meet on the couch for our weekly fill of survivor
cast-aways, namely Colby. She thought he was a real 'hottie'. In
fact, she had even told Pat [her high school sweetie] NOT to phone
on Thursday nights, cuz "that's the night Mom and me watch Survivor".
I am still loyal to the show, but somehow it really has lost a
lot of its 'specialness' cuz I don't have my little buddy snuggling
up with me on the couch to watch it any more. I miss her so much,
I can't even begin to describe the hole that has been left in my
soul. I still weep every day, but am hopeful that having this site
to visit and people's stories to warm my heart, the pain will lessen
in time. Please take the time to share a memory. Love, Kathy
