Oh Denise, I have been following your thread from the begining and my heart just aches for you and your family.. As a mother of 5 I know first hand how difficult it is to tell our children that a beloved one/pet has passed on..The truth is better than trying to shield them...I have been sitting here with tears just knowing how hard it was for you to tell Lauryn..
That word again,
TIME yes, your hearts will heal, and a little one will help the process not a replacement for Maddie...Please know that you and your family are still in my prayers and I think of you all often....
...God Bless you..
...Dottie
