I went to PetSmart today and visited the kitties, which I do almost every time I go.  I stayed in there a little longer than usual today talking to, petting, scratching and loving those cats.  I thought of you, Bug, and gave them some extra love for you.

What you've said is so very true.

Thank you Kes for giving the world a chance to know you and thank you Mr & Mrs Beanie for making that wonderful little girl possible.

Each life is precious as is each moment.  I keep thinking about helpful things Beanie commented on in the asperger thread and the connection to my own little grandson.  Each child has something very special that only they have to give.

Yeah, at first we thought we might sell any accidental offspring to modeling agencies, or Benneton, but I guess we'll keep 'em now.

Yeah. I was thinking that this morning.

  Just like a John Hiatt song or something.

for showing us that love doesn't stop when the form is gone, and that a person's legacy continues, even from beyond.

Hi S - welcome! 

Hope today wasn't overhwelming.

A thousand times yes.

For teaching me that motherhood is something I want to experience.

 

for giving me back my community.

Great!

The silly sniping and infighting in some of these pages are really put into perspective when something like this happens to someone you care for.

Life is too damn short to spend any part of it bickering on the interwebs.

Here's to beautiful little girl and a life well lived.  

My shoulders still shudder,
Sobs seem to come and go.
Is it the loss of a child, always too soon -
Or the gaping hole in the heart of a friend
That my love, our love, could never fill?

Love from across the pond, from the Porter family. 

Thank you, Bug, for the way you touched people's lives in your all too brief time here.

Thank you Bug for brightening the world with your light.  You made a difference to many people during your brief time here.

My heart and prayers go out to you all. 

Words fail me.

Thinking of you all this morning.

My heart goes out to the Sumps this morning....
