So grateful for what I have, and even more for what I haven't had to experience (child abduction being #1 on the list).Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988590894638135312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-58822115837341956512012-09-07T17:26:35.124-07:002012-09-07T17:26:35.124-07:00I'm so sorry for your loss.

She had been so, so very weak, I feel woozy when I think of it now. But that is where our paths part - I've had multiple peaceful summers since whereas you have been knocked off your feet again & again. Yet you keep standing up & you & Zoey keep finding a way forward. That is real strength. <br /><br />It's funny but "it could be worse" is my primary operating system. Perhaps not the most cheerful one, but its effective. And I think you found the one thing that would drive me literally, clinically insane. krlrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392064691347464660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-60083483963336433902012-09-05T20:08:57.263-07:002012-09-05T20:08:57.263-07:00That's my girl Jess!!!
