As I put my ornaments on the tree, yeah, I know I'm a late, I was thinking of all of our little angels. I have a ton of angels on my tree and seeing all of them makes me think of all of our little ones.

I just wanted to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. It is only moms like us that realize how bittersweet the holiday season is.

Sending Big Hugs to everyone!

Thank you Karen! I meant to post something here all day too. Now I feel really stupid for spending a month wondering what ornament I could get to remember Alex by. Duh, an angel.

Happy Holidays and hugs to everyone!

Karen,

Just saw your post in response to Amanda about Patrick's diagnosis. I'm sorry, to find out on Christmas. Was it out of the blue, or did you suspect it all along? We're pretty sure Julia has it. . .no official diagnosis, but you can just tell; she doesn't move her arms quite right. But what Erica said is true, from all I've read; it's as bad as it's ever going to be, and the more you guys work with him the better he'll learn to adapt. And I really believe that having their sibling to watch will push them to achieve all they can even fast.

He will be the best Patrick that he can be. That's what we say about Julia.

Hang in there!

Thank you. Merry Christmas to you all as well and may I be the first to say, thank goodness the holidays are over. I wanted to get an angel for our tree for our Alexbut couldn't find one.

I've been thinking of you all too. Its been tough. Eliana's first Christmas (bitter sweet) I love her so... but miss my babies. While everyone goes on and seems to have forgotten my little ones. I don't forget. My husband and I are having so many problems. I don't know what will happen with us and all I can think of is I wish my house was full of my children. I don't deserve this life sentence of pain, but I gain comfort from knowing you are all with me and understand. Merry Christmas to all. Love..
