Thank You Everyone

[dajeti2]

When I first found this group ,I was so touched.Here is a group of people that truly love and support each other andtheir babies. I was estatic when you all welcomed me and me babies withopen arms and hearts. I'm always afraid of over posting so I don't postalot. But I read every post. My heart breaks for the sick babies andtheir families. I rejoice over every piece of good news. I laugh at theantics of everyones' babies.

So it seems only natural that when I had nowhere else to turn and Ididn't know how to handle all the pain, I turned to you. You allrallied around me with love and compassion. And like any other family,my pain saddened you all. I feel bad that so many of you shed tearsover my dear Athena. It was sooo touching to know that we weren't theonly ones who loved her and will miss her. I continue to cry for her,but at least today I was able to think of her and not start sobbing.

I know I have to be strong for my son and Apollo. My son said somethingthat brought it all home to me. He said" it's not fair that she diedand she was only a baby but mom she wouldn't want us to cry. She alwaysdid stuff to make us laugh." From the mouth of babes.

I have decided that I am going to create an album for her. I want tocelebrate her life. It may not have been as long as I wanted it to be,but she brought us joy every second she was here. I am going toinclude all of your wonderful posts at the end of her album.

So please know that to me and my family you are all like our extended family. We are so grateful we have all of you.

love,

Tina

You're an angel on earth, dajeti2. Don'tfeel like you post too much. We all want to hear what youhave to say.

The one good thing that came from Athena's passing was that you nowknow how much we all care for and about you, Apollo, and yourfamily. I find great comfort in knowing that Athena was lovedso much and had such a good life for the short time she washere. Hard to accept when God needs them more than wedo. She had fulfilled her journey here sooner than the restof us.

Thank you for this thoughtful note. It means a lot.

Continued prayers and thoughts go to you and yours.

Better to have loved, and lost, than to never haveloved. Had it been otherwise, we all would never have had theopportunity to "know" Athena Bunny in life. Your experienceand Athena's sacrifice brings home, ever so clearly, how we should allappreciate and value our furry little friends' presence while we havethem here with us. That is a valuable lesson and,therefore, Athena's untimely departure is not all in vain.

For one who professes to post very little, you sure have had a greatdeal of impact on most of us in such a short while. Thank youfor counting yourself amongst us.
