I have carried this with me for a long time and I ask Zach for forgiveness everyday. You see, I love Zach so so much and I am ashamed of myself for not meeting Zach during his life. Technically, I am his Great-Aunt but in reality, I am nothing of the kind. Zach only knew me as a person in his family that his momma told him about - possibly his Grampa Steve's sister that lived in Colorado... Nevertheless, I should have made an attempt to introduce myself to Zach as a real person in his family that cared for him and loved him. Now, I talk to Zach everyday and ask him to forgive me and assure him that I may not be able to see Ashlan and Sydney as often as I would like but I will be a Great-Aunt to them both. A real Great-Aunt, not just the title of one. Tia, I hope you too can find in your heart to forgive me and allow me to have relationships with my beautiful nieces. I want to be a bigger part of my families lives and I do hope that I will be met with open arms. Busy lives are not worth losing these wonderful relationships that God has given to us to enjoy. I love you Zach. You, sweet boy, have given me so much. You have fed my heart and soul with precious knowledge. You are my Angel and my Great-Nephew. Thank You. Kathy Cherry-Hix
If you knew Zach then you knew how wonderful he was. He loved life and loved his family and friends. He was so lovable. He said some of the most hilarious things and I want to remember those times. Please share memories of Zach. It could be something he did special, something funny he said, or any memory that you would like to share. My hope is to eventually make a memory book of all these wonderful moments of his life.
