Denise --
I'm so sorry you had to go through this AGAIN. But I think telling your daughter was definitely the right thing to do, especially at her age. I think that in spite of all the sadness, she can learn a lot of good and valuable things from the experience.
*No matter how good a person you are, horrible things can, and will, happen in your life.
*When these things happen, that is when we need our family and friends the most.
*All God's creatures are special gifts, and only "on loan" to us -- so treat them accordingly.
*You will ALWAYS love Maddie -- that will never go away. She will always live in your heart.
*While you can never REPLACE Maddie, there is always a baby that would welcome your love. A baby that would help to fill the hole in your heart.
I told my mom about this last night and we both cried for you and your family. Thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. |
