Seven years ago life was great! I was an aspiring musician working on my second release to radio. A single mom with an amazing supportive 13 year old son Kyle that loved music as much and I do. Kyle was your typical 13 yr old. His first passion was hockey then music then snowboarding. He wanted so badly to play for the Leafs or possibly be able to compete snowboarding at the Olympics. He had big dreams and ambitions and a drive like nothing I had ever seen before. He was my best friend in the best and worst of times. Everything was starting to turn around in our lives and I was determined to make a good life for Kyle. Nothing could have ever prepared me for what would happen next. I thought I was sitting on top of the world. But as with everything in life, one minute everything can be amazing and the next thing you know your life can flip upside down and come to a crashing halt!

 
On Feb 22nd 2007 it was a very snowy day, almost blizzard like. Kyle got off the school bus about 3pm. Like any other day he came in, threw his coat and bag on the floor and grabbed a snack. We sat on the couch and played video games for a bit but then Kyle wanted to go across the street to the hill where all the kids tobogganed. He wanted to teach his friend how to snowboard. He quickly bundled up grabbed his board gave me a hug and kiss goodbye. I am ever so thankful for that last hug and kiss. It wasn’t long after when his friend came running to the door and said that there was something wrong. I quickly ran into the field where Kyle laying. I yelled to him but he didn’t get up. I ran as fast as I could to him and called 911. I started CPR and just as the EMS arrived I felt Kyle squeeze my hand. I had hoped it was a sign he was ok, but as his mom I knew in my heart, in that moment, that was just my son’s way of saying Goodbye. It was like the entire earth stool still for a minute, not a sound just silence. The EMS crew tried so hard to save him and most of them new Kyle because we lived in a small town. It wasn’t easy for them I am sure. When we got to the hospital there had to be a hundred people there to support us and we so needed it. I’ll never forget the moment the Doctor came out of the room and said that Kyle didn’t make it. I was numb and didn’t know whether to scream or cry. My son, my best friend, he was gone. No parent should have to bury their child. Aren’t we are suppose to go first?

 Kyle died of what was later determined to be a Brain Aneurism. He was an organ donor and able to give two people sight and save lives. Because of this we celebrate Kyle’s Life with music, laughter and a great cause. We invite you to join us this year.

 
This year marks the seven year Angel Day for Kyle. Seven was his favourite number and to honour Kyle on this special day Maxwell Entertainment in conjunction with Global Angel Charitable Organization presents; A Day For Angels. 

We will celebrate the way Kyle would have loved with an evening of live music, draws and all kinds of fun stuff. It’s a COUNTRY meets ROCK night featuring  country recording artist KAITLIN KOZELL and Durham’s new up and coming rock band CATCHING GRACE.

 
We look forward to seeing you all there!
