One Interesting Journey: One Year Ago

One Year Ago

I searched and searched my files on this laptop, this is the only photo I have on it of our sweet little Breanna Arielle. Then I remembered, this laptop arrived last year on my doorstep on the day of her funeral.
Tuesday was the one-year anniversary of the day she went Home.
Roberta commented---
"I have to say that this week's been sort of sad for me, thinking about the anniversary of Bre's passing on Tuesday. I think about her and all of you so much, I wish she could have been here to feel all the new life and excitement in the house. "
I agree, Roberta, I wish she could have hung around a little longer. I think she and Mattea would have gotten along super. And she did love the birthdays...Hers is in 3 weeks. I will have to go digging through my CDs for some more pics to post before then.

Many hugs to you, my friend... I wish all the little ones that go Home early could stick around and share their joy longer... But I'm so glad that you had one another for the time you did. I'm sure Bri and Mattea would have been great playmates as well.

I would love to see more pictures of your special angel when you find them...

I know what day that picture was. It always brings tears to my eyes. It's the picture I keep on my computer always, too. Breanna gave me faith to leap in God's name for her comfort and I'll always be grateful to her for that opportunity and what I learned from the experience.
Love you guys.

Lou,
I really cannot imagine the passing of a child. I so admire your courage to continue with life and add more little sweeties to your home. Your girlie looks great with extra pounds (much better than I do with extra pounds :) :) And the birthday pictures and boot pictures . . . too cute! Joy

Praying for a pain free day with lots of happy memories of your angel. I know you are missing her.

There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own. If finances aren't a way you can help, please look across their photos and say a prayer that each one will find their forever family soon. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry which also advocates for orphans with other disabilites across the globe. Please "grab this button" and post it with a message to your own readers as well. It starts with ONE, but then grows exponentially. You never know, your own post may be one that finds a family for one of these precious children."
