sorry !! man did I go off topic there -

This is so true. I feel the same way.

No , you didn't upset no ones with your thread . You have a very kind heart to care about those little ones . I get very emotional when I read sad stories .

Hi Nicole...I just emailed back and forth to your mom and asked why I hadn't seen you here for a little while. She told me it was some sad things you have read. They are sad, but I find when I say a prayer for these babies, it can make all the difference. I don't search out those threads, but do not avoid them either. I know, heaven forbid, that if I was in one of those positions, I would want everyone to read and help me and my babies with lots of prayer.

Hi Janet...I hope you are doing well? From the stories my Mom tells me, Izzie and Harley seem to be actly just like Big and Lil' Sisters... I can't wait to see them again!

...I just hate feeling so helpless, there are so many babies and momma and daddys out there in pain right now. It just sucks. Ever since I got TJ and Roxy, boy do I see the world in such a different light. I no longer just live in my world with my family, I have stepped out of the box and my eyes are wide open. I really do hope we have peace someday

Thanks Lou - I almost deleted what I said because it seemed so corny.....

but I bumped this thread today because there's some people in the RIP section that can REALLY use some kind words...we've lost 2 yorkies in 24 hours here....

Rest in Peace little Ella & Asti

It breaks my heart to read those threads, and I cry and think about how I would feel if I were in that person's shoes. At those times, all I can offer is prayer and I feel lucky to be able to do so.

I also feel that if my time comes, I will be able to come here and talk with people who love their babies as much as I do, who can understand my feelings and sympathize with whatever I'm going thru with Lucy and Rebel. That's what makes this such a wonderful forum - the loving people.

I'll always be grateful that I found this place.
