Pooh's Words of Wisdom
My oldest daughter just announced her first pregnancy and I'm thrilled beyond words to anticipate my first grandchild. Of course, we both cried with delight at this momentous occassion, and cried with sadness that her brother Seth would not be here to participate in this next life's event. She plans to sprinkle in Seth's name into her new child's name somehow, someway, as if to bless this new life with Seth's most treasured attributes. In any case, I was traversing some fun Winnie-the-Pooh sayings to add to the new nursery, and found this one - that screamed of Seth to me, our trauma at losing our babies and thought I'd pass this along; it made me cry and smile, good ol' Pooh:
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
We were all sooooo blessed with our babies, and soooo blessed with the sadness of good-bye.
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
We were all sooooo blessed with our babies, and soooo blessed with the sadness of good-bye.

Congratulations on being a soon-to-be-Grandma!!! I know Seth will be all around the new baby!!! He will make his presence known. I love the Pooh Bear quotes too!
Just the other day, I posted on Vinny\'s caring bridge journal, which strikes another chord for us. It said:
\"If ever there is tomorrow when we\'re not together.. There is
something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger
than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is,
even if we\'re apart, I\'ll always be with you~ Winnie the Pooh
CONGRATULATIONS my friend....how very exciting and wonderful!!!!!
Oh, that pooh.... (that is Kala\'s nickname :) ....he says the sweetest things!
Enjoy this time of anticipation and planning!

I can imagine you will feel Seth around you alot as you experience this new life coming... and wow to look at your new grandchild\'s little baby face, and see a glimpse again of your beautiful Seth in the newborn\'s expressions too... what a good life xxxx With Love xxx
This is wonderful news!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations on the pregnancy and the upcoming fresh and delicious grandchild! The circle of life!
I love Pooh\'s looking at the sorrow in that way...that we had someone so valuable that physically losing them (for awhile) is difficult to handle...I love Winnie..Years ago when my Michael was born, I decorated his nursery with a Pooh theme...was very relaxing I thought! :-) Have a great week! Love to you and Seth, Donna
Congratulations, Patti. Pooh\'s words are very wise and profound. Love, Linda
