I am so very sorry for your loss..and the pain you are in.
I lost my 'Woody' earlier this month. He would have been 13 this month. Me nor my daughter could go to work or school that day. It was horrible...just horrible.
I think when I got Thomas I had Woody in the back of my mind. His age..etc..knowing he didn't have many years left..
Thomas has not taken the place of Woody..he never will. But I do think he has helped a lot with the healing.
I hope your heart starts to heal soon..and you find a special baby to give all of that love to.
