Hello all. I just wanted to let everyone know that I thinking of you all and I wonder how everyone is doing in their journey in life in regards to how we are all connected. As of next wednesday, my precious Brianna will have been in Heaven for a year. The shock has not gone away, nor will it ever; I think. I see and hear advertisements for St. Patrick's Day festivities and I think of Brianna, as that is the day she was born. Bittersweet emotions. My family and I will be going to the cemetery on that day and releasing one pink balloon in her honor. I long to hold her one day. ,
Kimberly, thank you for your post. That brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. Sometimes, it is hard to think about how your little Julie and Brianna should be playing together whenever we meet. But when I hold her and she smiles I light up. Seeing Julie makes things better in a way. Bittersweet, ya know?!
How is everyone doing? Please remember that I think of you and your angels daily and I say a little prayer for all of you.
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 cousin to Marie Me-me to Brianna Marie & Matthew Mother to 3 little muchkins( Kathryn,Anthony & Julie Mae )
