Raining as usual
Finally a break from the heat... It is raining and kind of cool kind of what I feel inside..vacation is coming up Aug 10, havent felt too excited or motivated about it... really not sure I want to go but... anyway Theresa will soon be 17 August 8 Ashley should have been turning 23 this Sunday.. Sucks... I miss her so much and wish I could have seen her grow, I try to think of what she would have become and where she would be in her life .... oh well .... as usual trying to keep everyone else up and going Im getting more exhausted day by day not sure if Theresa has or is any better sometimes she seems ok and than others more depressed again... Lauren hard to read guess she copes pretty well and Kaitlyn has gotten better wish she would maybe mature a little more I think she tries but wasnt ready for the changes when Ashley died... oh well nobody was ready... well Happy Birthday Ashley !! Wish you were here celebrating your 23 rd with us !!

So very sorry for your pain and suffering. I\'m very sad for you in this moment. HUGS HUGS HUGS
We are never ready for what happened,,,I do hope the girls find their way without their sister,,,
tis hard...the rain has cooled it down so much,,,I need a sweater!!!
It\'s hard to know how the siblings are really doing if they won\'t open up. I know my surviving three children are all so different with the loss of their brother. Like you, I just try to keep them up and going on their own paths and still try to make sure they don\'t forget their brother. It\'s certainly a challenge. Continued support and much love. Robin
My boys refuse to open up to me. In my house grief is something that only I do. I worry about them so much. Hopefully yours will yalk to you more than mine. Love & hugs Colleen
Thinking of you as Ashley\'s birthday approaches. These are tender days indeed. It is a fragile dance with the surviving siblings and as parents we have our own grief and try to keep a careful and loving eye out for the others. You are not alone in these thoughts and concerns.
Understanding hugs, Joanie
I hope that in the midst of this pain...that Sunday allows you to remember the miraculous day of Ashley\'s birth. Those siblings have a journey themselves...and they are often hard to read. Love to you...Karen
Hi Kim! Sorry I missed this and I\'m SO sorry I missed Ashley\'s birthday. Happy birthday beautiful!
Theresa, turning 17..... so many emotions must be surrounding this birthday for you, for her, for everyone. Love and positive energy to Theresa, Lauren, and Kaitlyn.
I\'m glad you have a vacation coming up and I truly hope you\'ll allow yourself to fully enjoy the time. Do something for YOU! You give so much to everyone else, it\'s high time you pampered yourself in a special way. I hope you will.
It\'s always so good to hear from you....even if it\'s only once or twice a year. I feel a special connection to you and know that Kala and Ashley are tossing around a softball somewhere in Heaven and laughing and having a grand ole time.
I love you my friend!
