Re: A poem I wrote for our girls ...

[Guest guest]

Elaine,

What a beautiful little gift to Paige and Amy. I loved your poem!

May you and your family have a blessed holiday. I liked what you

wrote about the grief counsellor too. I haven't experienced a loss

myself, but my husband and stepson have.. my dh is a widower, lost

his wife at age 31 (8yrs ago), leaving little behind at 3.5y/o.

Time does heal, but never takes away completely the memories or the

pain. My prayers are with you...

Cindy PS thanks for the advice on c-section recovery!!
