A Song for Daniel, Stillborn by Jean Felice Eilbert (his mother)
When I held you in my arms that day Born so still, born anyway How was I to know to say goodbye? No one knew just what to do Except tell me I'd get over you As if forgetting makes it all untrue -- a lie
But I remember to remember I can't forget just to forget Your memories are a part of me Connecting me to what comes next.
And even after all this while I think of you, sometimes I smile Memories of my unknown child, fade slow. I've held you in my heart each day Life so short, life anyway Memories are meant to say hello.

Friday Funny: Adopt A Dog (with a serious aside)
Today is Gotcha Day! 3 years ago today we adopted Emma (look how tiny!)
It was the best decision I've ever made in my life.
I love dogs!! We are having so much fun with the dog kennel, when there are dogs in it :) Some have such attitudes (usually the ones that are only 6 inches tall).
Making my way through life with an angel on my shoulder and another one by my side. Follow me (and my dog) as I stumble through my new normal after the deaths of my daughter and husband.

Hehe Love the cartoon. Oh and little Emma is so cute! :)
Oh ... look how cute she is!! And I would love to adopt a dog but I have to convince the other members of the family to join in.
