Today I watched the clock pass that time when one year ago I laid down to nap with Tink, when one year ago I woke up to find her dead in my arms.

It has been a hard weekend.

Tonight feels just awful.

Next month would have been just her 5th birthday.

A lifetime cut in half.

I'm so unhappy right now, I really want my little baby to be alive. I don't want to feel this sad, it is a horrible feeling. I don't even know what to do right now.

Dear Lori Ann

Anniversaries are so very hard to bear, and I am so sorry that you are still suffering so much. I am thinking of you and your dear Angel, Tink, and sending Hugs and prayers.

Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Thinking of you on your baby's one-year Angelversary. I do know how much you miss her sweet physical presence; but I hope that you feel her still with you in your heart. Our love for them never dies -- so in a way, neither do they.

Take care of yourself. Your precious Tink would want you to be happy, and to keep the joyous memories of her alive.

Hi, Lori Ann, as Jan and Cheryl have so eloquently and compassionately shared with you, the angel-versaries are hard because they are a reminder that our beloved companions' physical presence is no longer with us. Just because we have endured the first year of adjustment does not mean that our hearts cease to long to have them still with us - - happy and healthy.

But as Jan and Cheryl have shared with you, so I wish to affirm their encouragement to you: The love bond you share with your precious Tink is eternal, - - it is not limited to the physical laws of time and space. Your precious Tink is forever with you in your heart and your memories, and her sweet Living Spirit is forever with you continuing to share your earthly journey just as she always has and always will. I truly hope and pray that sometime your heart will be filled with the warmth of your precious Tink's love reaching across the Bridge letting you know she is with you - - always with you - - always a heartbeat close to you - - once again bringing joy to your heart and life.

Lori Ann, thank you so much for letting us know how you're doing. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to knowing how you're doing whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,

Lori Ann,

You don't know me but I DO know exactly how you are feeling, especially on the year anniversary. It'll be a year for me, without my sweet girl, Kota, in 3 weeks. Each month anniversary of her passing has been extremely painful. It's interesting, yet not at all surprising, that the 3 replies to you come from Janika, Moonbeam and Cheryl83, all who have been instrumental as friends here and as true understanders and supports for all that I've been through here, and now for you. Here's to your Tink.
