What a beautiful story of the love you have for your daughter.:cry8: You have touched my heart with your words and emotions like never before. You are an inspiration to many with your story of unconditional love for your beautiful daughter.

I somehow missed whatever drama has been going on with poor baby Emma. :rolleyes: All I can say is Dena is doing a wonderful job with little Emma.

It is a very sad world that we live in when people feel the need to be hateful and cruel to the ones that are trying to make a small place in their world a better place.

Thank you for sharing your heart touching story. :hug:

Thank you. She is the only child I have had so she has my heart, that's for sure. And those grand kids of mine, too. Thank you for your kindness to me.

It's a good thing to have missed all of that drama on Emma's thread. I was the first one to post to the original and so was there from the beginning. It was rather like being on a roller coaster :( and I hate roller coasters!

Emma is a little doll. I am so glad she was rescued. It takes someone of fortitude to take on such a large task. Poor Dena is so exhausted! I believe there is a reason why she is the one that has that baby. I admire her for her strength and courage and the heart that she has for that wee one. Baby Emma is in the best of hands.

Blessings to you!

Well I am speechless.. first off admiration is all I can say about you... making such a personal thread to help a puppy... your daughter is really blessed..

I saw this thread and read your post.. I could not figure out the why's, I was not only sitting here with a huge beating heart for you, but felt you like I knew you for a long time. As I am reading all the posts.. I am slowly figuring out what was going on.. and I am sorry but I must go and find this thread if it is still around.. I cannot imagine anyone putting dena down for trying to save a puppy.. although I know that to many.. there is no person at the ends of there posts.. they are just going to cyberspace somewhere.. and for this I have to say is really sad...sad that people do not think of themselves as human, caring, or still vulnerable in their lives to maybe yet go through such trials and tribulations as you have gone through.. or dena for trying to save a puppy called emma..

I am so glad I found this thread.. have seen people be so human as everyone is being that have posted.. and that there has been no negative here.. It saddens me..

I have gracie and although gracie did not have huge issues.. she was born tiny and was not strong enough to suckle.. so at midnight I was given a refresher on how to tube feed.. I was so nervous and so scared for her.. I did it.. should I say we did it. my hubby and I tube fed her together for two weeks.. yes it as only two weeks but we were about exhausted.. from lack of sleep or stress of losing her.. maybe both.. but she survived.. and I can still hear my husband when he was first to the bedroom she was in.. he was so happy for she was suckling on her own..Dena will become attached as we did with Gracie and no one would have been good enough to have this baby.. she is now two and has to be cuddled in our arms like a baby when she is tired.. she has a whine that only comes out of her mouth at this time of need..
I need to find more of what has been happening on emma..
I have been away a lot this summer.. we have been doing major work.. so I was lost on this..

again thanks.. your special..... anne

Just seeing her picture - tell that beautiful girl I WANT HER HAIR !:D

Sammiz, I knew just from your posts that you were one of a kind. You were very brave posting and baring your heart and soul. I trully commend you on not just what you went thru with your daughter and what you are doing for Emma but for the compassionate person you are. I think all of us should always be careful what we say and how we act to others, because we dont know what their hearts have endured. Theres alot of good in this world and alot of love. When I was a young girl I babysat a little boy with a cleft lip and palate, I know what heartache the family went thru and how strong it made that lil guy. Hats off to you and tell your daughter she is one beautiful young lady.

Eeeeekkk! I can't tell her anything about this. She would kill me!! Ssshhhhhhhh.

That girl does have some nice hair, though. Thanks!!

ok now i am at work crying my eyes out and ppl are looking at me!!
Thank you so much for sharing!

My dear friend Sammi... I'm sooo sorry I didn't see this heart wrenching story back in August... I can't talk right now. :cry: I'll get myself together and PM you. Bless your heart. Denise
