Moving to the front
24Jun2005 Filed under: Uncategorized Author: DawnGot this in my mail box today and wanted to be sure that her message got out past the comments:
This is Allison’s mom. I came here following her name on Google.Thank you for the tone I hear here.
Her cause of death is unknown at this time. This information is straight from the coroner and her mother.
There is no avoidance of any truth…we are waiting for the truth.
I know in my heart it wasn’t suicide.
Accident..perhaps. Suicide, never. Never.
She would never leave Cade. Her son.

And by the way, if you want to leave a message for Cade, you can do so here. If Allison inspired you in any way — whether you knew her personally or not — you can share it with her family.
I’ve been trying to figure out what I could say but I’m planning on leaving something, too.

About Me
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

Lots of us know that Alli would not have committed suicide without leaving some kind of note. We know that she would not have left Cade.

I used to read hip mama — way, way back in the day. I remember reading the posts by Allison and she reminded me of my own mother, who was only 16 when she got pregnant and 17 when I was born.
Alli’s posts on hipmama and girlmom and the other things she wrote gave me a glimpse into my mama’s experience that I may never have had otherwise (my mom doesn’t like to talk about it much). She helped me see the struggles and the joys of being a young mom, even when other people disapprove.
I hope that her family knows what a hero Alli was for so many girlmoms and daughters of girlmoms and mamas in general. I am so sad that she is gone, but I am confident her legacy will live on. Love to Cade, Alli’s mom, her partner Julie and her stepson.
