Oh Judy, I am just sobbing as I read about Crickette and Haliee. So much of our lives, and our daily routines revolve around these precious babies. After they are gone, it's so hard getting use to the "new normal". It never dawned on me how much of my day was spent caring for Lucy while she was alive. I cooked for her, hand fed her, changed diapers and kept her clean, did treatments and meds. After she passed, life got quiet, and I didn't know what to do with myself. I hated the "new normal". I still do. Oh, how you wish for the click of those tiny toenails on the floor, the morning kitchen romp, the quiet snuggle times in your lap, and running your fingers through their soft hair. My heart is just broken for you. You understand, in a way that few ever do, that loving these little ones with all your heart and soul is not a character flaw. They are an extension of who you are. You know instinctively what each baby needs and wants. You speak their language, and are able to interpret what they are trying to tell you without using human words. The world was a better place because your babies were there in your kitchen. God loans us these precious ones for such a short time. Is there anything harder in this life than having to give them back to him again? Judy, please know that during these sad days, you are not alone. We will cry tears with you, and smile at your sweet stories of happier days. We send hugs, prayers and lots of love as you struggle to get use to your "new normal". You were blessed to have sweet Crickette and Haliee, and they were blessed to have you. I am so very sorry for your great loss.
