Thank you for the update op. I am so sorry for your loss but hope you and your family have a peaceful Christmas.

Thank you so much for the update OP. Like many I often think of you and come back to this thread, and will certainly have your family in my heart this holiday season. May there be peace for you and yours.

*second, not first

Hello everyone

I am the OP, back after all these months. First let me thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I checked back in with this thread for a short time after starting it, but then I just couldn't keep up any more.

Our daughter lost her battle and I wasn't able to deal with coming back to post about it here. Everything was too raw and heavy.

Then, it took me forever to find this thread when I finally did want to return to it so I wouldn't leave it all hanging. I felt like my daughter would have wanted me to.

Imagine my joy to find that people continued to check in long after my last post. I can't tell you how much that moved me. To think that many of you reached out and continued to do so long after I couldn't is a beautiful thing. Some of you even "bumped" this thread just stop in to say good morning, good evening, thinking of you, etc. That was so kind.

It has been very difficult but often when I think I just can't make it, something comes along to give me a little extra strength. This time, I was struggling with facing our first Christmas without her, and I searched and searched the archives to revive my original post. And now, reading through all of your posts has brought me some peace.

To those of you who have gone through similar heartaches, I hope you find some peace as well.

I think of OP often, but especially when I read that thread. My thoughts and prayers are still with you OP..

Excuse the last 2 question marks ^^

I just found this thread a while ago, and I wish I could give OP. a hug. My little niece died from cancer at age 2, in 1990.
Even if she doesn't report back, God knows what has happened, and I pray she and her daughter will feel a great outpouring of peace, love, and comfort ??

I think about her too, all the time.

Oh, everytime this thread comes up I think of you OP.

I think of you all the time, OP. Hope you are hanging in there.

Thinking of you OP. I have a 10 month old and just took her out of her crib and held her close. You're in our thoughts tonight.
