About Me
- Desire` Aguirre
- I live in Idaho with four cats, two dogs, and two horses. A free-lance journalist, I write for The River Journal, The Reader, The Sentinel, Sandpoint Magazine and Idaho Magazine. When my son, Niko, died May 8, 2008, I became a member of the worst day club. I returned to complete my senior year at LCSC and studied parental grief for my communications research project. It is my hope that by sharing my experience, strength, and hope with other bereaved parents, I will make sense of my son's death, learn how to live without his smile, and help other's trudge through the grieving process. My son's life gave me the courage to actively pursue my passions, and I learned how to play banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bodhran, bones, mountain and hammer dulcimer, and now write songs and am a member of the old time string band, "Ruff Shodd." For fun, I also write the blog "Harold the Ghost."

Hi Desire,
Thank you so much for your comment about Mary's video for Catherine. She made that over 2 years ago.
I wish I could give you a big hug just to let you know that I think of you often, and wish I could make it better for you - but I can't make it better. My heart breaks all over again, for you and your loss.
Your lovely son left this world sadly, on my own son Liam's 18th
birthday.
Nik's anniversary is one I won't forget.
Thanks again. You can email me any time, if you'd like to.
Take good care of yourself. I can see by your photo that you're a "smiley" type of person. Your smile will return someday when you least expect it.
Bye for now,
Catherine's mum.
