When a...Hey girl, thanks for your comment tonight. When all that happened with Tyler in the car, I immediately thought of you and your nephew. It actually took me a good solid day to write it down because it had shaken me up so. I am thankful that it was December and actually CHILLY that day and that he had only been in the car a short time when I found him (happily dumping out my purse and stuffing starbursts in his mouth). Not only are we having to lock my car, but we also now have to hide the keys - he knows how to unlock the door, which is amazing since it is hokey-jokey old car and doesn't have keyless entry.<BR/><BR/>(((HUGS))) Thanks again for stopping by.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858511221598789469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994311.post-15861112806334735782007-11-30T16:47:00.000-08:002007-11-30T16:47:00.000-08:00This is the most beautiful post, girlie.

I was single and with no kids - so, I devoted much of my time to caring for her and her son. When he died, I was so lost and sad and feared I could never be a mom since there was a remote chance I could loose a babe like Donna lost Ben. Now, as a mom, I think of Ben often...especially this time of year...My eldest turns 4 in 2 weeks, a birthday Ben never celebrated here...and in 1 week, my middle child turns 3...Ben passed just after his 3rd birthday...my heart aches for my friend, she struggles every day to go one...and at the same time, I try my best to focus on my blessings...thank you for reminding me to do just that!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122365458052947125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994311.post-10396308433643808592007-11-27T20:41:00.000-08:002007-11-27T20:41:00.000-08:00fyi the story of riley has haunted me since the da...fyi the story of riley has haunted me since the day i read it. i am forever petrified of the window in my sons room and seriously seriously asked my hubs if we could put bars on the windows, then freaked out because i wanted them on all the windows. then i cried a lot and cried more and i think i'm going to cry more because you painted such a vivid picturemisguidedmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512111894191254653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994311.post-87798361424056572142007-11-27T19:16:00.000-08:002007-11-27T19:16:00.000-08:00thanks for the earlier post. and love how much yo...thanks for the earlier post. and love how much you love your son!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896934550465040585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994311.post-30923586584776047242007-11-27T18:32:00.000-08:002007-11-27T18:32:00.000-08:00this is really nice. they change so quickly. it's ...this is really nice. they change so quickly. it's great to get it all down in writing, which i need to do more often. he sounds like a fun kid!JRE Writeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552065603107123402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994311.post-49289915781649371782007-11-27T18:26:00.000-08:002007-11-27T18:26:00.000-08:00My kid's friend mispronouncing "Nora" as "Noona." ...My kid's friend mispronouncing "Nora" as "Noona." <BR/><BR/>Sweet post.Antropólogahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720065905801369495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994311.post-49673892018994376412007-11-27T16:21:00.001-08:002007-11-27T16:21:00.001-08:00fantastic post. thanks for sharing.sometime i reme...fantastic post. thanks for sharing.<BR/>sometime i remember your sad story about your nephew, and i'm still astounded.<BR/><BR/>i'm sure tomorrow will be a lot less hard. because you realize that every day is precious, and you have an extra one to be thankful for.<BR/><BR/>you're an excellent writer, or is it observer??? to know your child that well, AND you're not at home all the time w/ him...<BR/><BR/>here's to many MANY more........mpotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04828627152965729832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994311.post-13058703059444624502007-11-27T16:21:00.000-08:002007-11-27T16:21:00.000-08:00This was such a beautiful post!
