Hi there,

For those who don't know who I am, I am Marie's cousin. I was just
sitting here thinking it is almost a year now that Brianna Marie
drifted in and out of our lives. Although I never got to see her, or
get to know what a beautiful child she could be, I love her with all
my heart. As I watch my youngest Julie Mae play I think of Brianna.
Marie and I have sons close in age,5 weeks to be exact. Our
daughters are as well, Julie just doesn't get to play with her
cousin during the day, just in her dreams.

There is nothing good about loosing a child. I could never imagine
how I could handle what you all go through. I am just looking
through a window at very strong women at their families.

I have learned from loosing Brianna from our family, that we have to
live and love for the moments we are in. And if we are blessed to
become pregnant and bare children to hold on to those precious
moments for as long as we can. (If I knew then what I know now, I
would have not complained as much about being pregnant and just
cherished those moments of my life)

Love to all and hope you all are doing well. We haven't heard from
any one in a while.


Bright Blessings,

Kimberly Flathers
