hey hun, just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you, I now know what you have gone through for so many years every christmas. I too will always have thoughts of the lost one I have spent too few time with, and I cried when I read your journal and Kassidy's Lifestory. Im so sorry for your loss, She is watching over you now, and for her, its but a moment until she and you are reunited! I love you always, Tamara

I don't know you and your family but I came across your site through facebook (I'm an old friend of Colleen's) and decided to have a look. I am filled with such sorrow for you and your family to have lost your baby girl. I have two sons of my own (almost 3 years old and 1.5 years old) so I know the love a mother has for her children and that my biggest fear is to lose them. I can only begin to imagine the pain you feel. My heart is squeezing with pain right now just thinking about it, so I can only imagine what it would be like to go through what you have gone through losing a child. My thoughts and prayers go out to you today, that you will have peace, that some of the pain will ease, and that one day you will be reunited with Kassidy in Heaven.
Sincerely,
Sarah

Child Loss Poem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you lose a child, your life doesn't just change,
you're shattered on the inside, blown to pieces, your heart broken.
It takes a long time for those pieces to come back together again.
I'm not looking for your pity, it's better for me to talk,
than to keep everything all inside.
I don't want you to think I'm selfish, but can't you see how much I'm hurting?
Sometimes I take out my baby's things, smell then, caress them, hug and kiss them,
and rock them until the tears stop falling.
Please don't turn a blind eye to me. If you think it's too painful for you,
multiply that by infinity and you might have a vague idea of how much pain I am in.
I did not ask for this to happen, I do ask for your love and support.
If you can't think of anything to say, then just listen to me, let me borrow your shoulder.
Surely you are stronger than I am and you can help me by simply being there.
