Goodbye darling Angel. You touched all of our lives in ways you will never know... We send you and your family all of our love and all our deepest comfort and support today.

The Cord

We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.

This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.

I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.

The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.

I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

Most Awful News

We are so deeply saddened to learn of a horrible tragedy that took our friend, Violette, away from her family way too soon. Violette was born on May 10th and had a horrible fall which her tiny little heart just could not withstand. Apparently she bounced out of her chair and onto the kitchen floor. I am so shaken by this because I frequently have had Sophie on the kitchen counter in her pampassan vibrating seat and though I never left her alone, these horrible things can and do happen. I will never ever do this again. And, please to all you parents out there, do not put your babies on high counters or unattended anywhere - it is too scary to think of what could happen.

Violette has been taken from her family way too soon. No mom or dad should ever have to endure this. It is with so much sadness in our hearts and so much grief that we send our deepest sympathies to Monty Q, MomBean Tracey, and the entire family. We can only say that Heaven is a sweeter place now for having dear Sprout there so early. We might not stop hugging or holding Sophie for a long, long time. Please stop by and send Monty and MomBean and the whole family your love. They will need it this week and beyond...
