My little girl just turned six, and it made me feel uneasy. Before Katie, I had three little girls, and the last one lived to just shy of seventeen. I really struggled when Ashley turned ten, but by the time she turned fifteen, her birthday became a cause for celebration because she was still mostly healthy. When we lost Ashley it was almost two years before we welcomed Katie into our home and hearts. She was three years old, and she instantly stole our hearts. like her sisters before her, We know the pain when we lose them, but it would be a far greater loss not to have had their love in the first place. When we talk about our Rainbow Bridge babies, our hearts soften, and the overwhelming feeling is that of love and happiness, even though it still hurts to have lost them. Katie just lights up our world, and I don't want to imagine our life without her.
Welcome to Yorkietalk. I found this site when Ashley was sixteen, and I stayed the two years after I lost her and before Katie came into our lives. There are so many compassionate members who are here to support each other. I hope you decide to stay. |
