hold your babies tight
from ariel gore
light a candle for alli
“I just talked to Alli’s mom and she is helped immensely by the outpouring of love for Allison. She asks us to light Mary candles and incense for her daughter. She will let us know when the funeral plans are set, and those will be posted here and at girlmom.
She says: Alli’s legacy is one hurt person mended at a time. A woman who says to herself “Yes, I can.” Because someone not only said she could, but stood with her like Allison did. Injecting strength and hope and bravery into the sad tired heart.
A beautiful mom holding a beautiful baby..her chin up and the sun shining on her face, smiling and happy. Because she knew she had Alli on her side.
A legacy written on living hearts. That continues when love flows from the mommies she loved to the babies and the babies grow strong. And they love others.
She wanted to change the world.
Safety and enough for all and happiness.
She did her part well.
Please keep me and Cade and Glen and her sister in your best thoughts. And pray.
If people have tributes, pictures, notes, or stories about Alli for the next issue of Hip Mama, I would be honored if you would send them my way. Email: arielgore at earthlink.net or snail-mail P.O. Box 12525, Portland, OR 97212. Unless you instruct me otherwise, I’ll send the originals to Alli’s mom for Cade.
If anyone is planning benefits, you can email me for information on where to send contributions. A trust fund will be set up for Cade.
All love,
Ariel”
