Seems hard to believe... Today marked the one-year anniversary of Little Girl's passing from her earthly body.

She sent me signs to comfort me when she knew I needed them the most this past year. She sent me gifts in the form of my 3 new children: Dolly, Cubby, and Sunny.

I have lit a pumpkin-scented candle tonight in her honor (pumpkin... for the nicknames her Daddy lovingly called her: Punkin', Punkinhead, Punkinstein).

I don't think I would have survived without this wonderful site. This group is a Godsend.

Thanks to all who have been helping me make it through.

Love to everyone here,

Kathy

The time just keeps moving on doesn't it? Sometimes it seems to speed up! I have really been thinking about getting another baby, but until I get settled again it wouldn't be a good idea. It would be to hard to find a rental to live in. This site has helped me too, I also dont know what I would have done had I not found it. Pamela

Dear Kathy, I am thinking of you and precious Little Girl. One year without your darling girl that must be so hard. That is wonderful she sent you 3 other babies to love and watch over you. I know that you must still miss Little Girl so very much. I too am so thankful for the wonderful people here. I don't think I could have made it without everyone.
Love, Ann

Hi Kathy:

Yes my friend, it does seem hard to believe that it has been one year today since Little Girl left this Earth......
You and I "joined LS" just about 7 weeks apart......
And, I will be ever soooooooo grateful that, even when you were going through your most difficult times, that
you were able to find it in your heart to comfort me !

It was a blessed Gift from God that we were able to be available to one another.....

I feel badly that I'm not able to answer all of the many brand new posters here, who are going through that
horrific pain that I will never forget..............
But.....
it really is such a beautiful thing (of course, and, (at the same time), sad over the new babies that have passed on and crossed over to Rainbow's Bridge).... to come here and read the postings.......

And see how "life goes on"..........seeing all of the people who have found Lightning-Strike, and have come here
for comfort, understanding and love ..............
For them to all find exactly what they need, and at the same time............Opening up their newly broken hearts to others who have "joined"...........
And, are looking for exactly the same things......

It's just amazing, I feel, to be going through such pain over the loss of their precious babies...........but, digging deep,
and finding just enough in their hearts to help those that are more 'freshly/newly in need' of comfort ---- even if it's only a day or two...........sometimes, just a few hours......

(I know I've said a mouthful.........but, I surely hope that you understand what I was trying to convey.....)

I am sooooooooo very, very happy about Dolly, Cubby and Sunny ...........and, please, you must e-mail me photos of your new babies.......
Ms. Lucy and Mr. Yoster (and I), would love to see them....

Take good care my special friend, and I have no doubt that we'll speak soon.

Love, Denise xo

Isn't it something how the time passes. When they first pass it seems inconcievable that one will make it to one week without them, let alone a year.

Thinking of you and your girl.

Dear Kathy,

I just passed Shiloh's 6 month anniversary, and I can echo what you said about it being hard to believe. I know for me, sometimes I feel like I just saw Shiloh yesterday, and other days it seems like an eternity.

Thinking of you on Little Girl's one year anniversary.
Kathleen
