Isabelle age 7 years

Some things can't ever be understood by anyone but the persons going through it. This I think is true for my niece Courtney and her husband Nick as they had to say goodbye too their eldest daughter Isabelle. We can all say our hearts break for them and they certainly do but they must go home every night and not put that child to bed, kiss a hurt leg or be so frustrated with bad behaviou,r but glad they have that time to be frustrated as that is love. I always thought that my children were the most beautiful or angelic while they were sleeping but I never meant the forever sleep.
Although this was a tragic death, Courtney has requested that everyone remember Isabelle and to live, love and laugh also to have fun as this is what Isabelle would want. And please don't blame anyone else for her death as no pointing fingers will ever bring her back.
We have all shed many tears and will most likely shed many more as we grieve not only for the loss of Isabelle but for the torture her parents and little sister Alyssa are suffering.
She will always be in their hearts but should be in their arms.

One step at a time

New day
My beautiful second daughter is facing a separation with her partner. Her and their two boys are coming home for a bit until she can get on her feet and face the world. I know she can make it but now I must try to get it into her head that she can do it. Within two day she has had several job interview offers. Her biggest problem is realizing that she needs to stop feeling guilty that her boys won't be seeing their daddy every day, but to understand that 1 hour travel time is nothing when it comes to seeing your children.
You never stop worrying about your children and trying to put their needs first, but at this stag of her life she is putting her children first as it should be.

lost little sole

Well it has been a sad time for my youngest daughter and her husband, A very much wanted baby was lost to them. Mickey had just found out that they were expecting and within days baby was lost, and yes they do say that means something is wrong with baby, but it was a very sad time regardless. They will be able to try again right away but you will always think of the lost sole. My heart goes out to the both of them and too me also as this was my grandchild.
