Dear Sweet Girlies,
I have been having some pretty vivid dreams of you the past few days; some good, some not so good. The strange thing is, somebody else is taking care of you while I am watching. It reminds me of how I felt having our in-home nurses here. When they were here there was a part of me that felt like I wasn’t doing my job as a mom because I should have been able to take care of you on my own. I know that your needs were beyond what your daddy and I could do on our own, but there are some days when I wish it had just been the four of us at home enjoying our last moments together.
Last night I was laying in bed thinking about you and what you did for us. Wilco was playing in the background and I thought about how you made me want to be a better person. You were and will continue to be a light inside of me. Thank you for making me better. Thank you for putting everything into perspective for me. Thank you for letting me be your mommy.
Love,
Mommy
i love you…
and we are all better people for knowing and loving the girls…
i know my life will never be the same, and for that i’m so grateful to the girlies…
Your girls have made everyone that they came in to contact with a better person… the world is a better place because of them.
Just wanted to say I think of you and the girls daily. The other commenters are right, I feel those who have followed your story, even here in cyber-world and the nest, are changed for the better. Thanks to you and the girls.
By the way, guess what is playing in my itunes right now? Wilco’s “When You Wake Up Feeling Old”.
