Memorial for Zoe and Lennox Established
AMS has set up a memorial fund with Cook Children’s Hospital on behalf of Lennox and Zoë. All donations made in their names will go towards neonatal research. You can see details on how to donate HERE.
I remain very angry and heartsick that Zoe and Lennox died. No one should suffer what AMS has suffered in the past two months. This is not supposed to happen to my friends. My friends are allowed to have lousy boyfriends and jobs they hate. They are allowed to lose elderly family members. I will permit them to have long, miserable layovers in foreign airports and numerous unpleasant injections. But the universe is not supposed to hurt my friends this way. We were supposed to plan vacations where our kids would swim while we drank and let our husbands argue about the relative merits of Unix and Windows. I should be buying her babies stuffed animals and cute outfits not making donations in their names to further research. I wish time could be rolled up and played out again with different results. I wish there were things I could say or do to make even a drop of her pain evaporate. I wish. I wish. I wish.
Stumble it!
Donate to the Zoë and Lennox Simpson Memorial Fund
and the 529 college savings accounts get a kickback.

I feel the exact same way, and I have never even met AMS. Her loss and pain are on my mind often. The universe is just not kind or fair.

I too agree. I have never met AMS, however I find myself thinking about her pain and loss as I lay in bed at night. I will never understand why bad things happen to good people.

I feel their pain and wish what you wish. Sadly, our words cannot take the pain away but the memorial fund is a practical way to address the issues so other parents might be spared this grief.
I haven’t stopped thinking about Zoe & Lennox and AMS& her DH.
