Still alive

So I just wanted to take a few moments to talk about something.  After Colette passed away,  Dusty's Aunts and Uncles bought us a basket of plants and had it delivered to the hospital.  To have a living plant at the time was actually very comforting,  and instead of bringing home our sweet Colette we brought home our basket of plants.  We found a new home for it in our room and it has brought great peace for the last year.  Surprisingly it's still alive!

Over a year later these plants are still brining us peace and adding a touch of green to our room.

Bridgett loved to climb up into bed with me and snuggle against my t...

However it was NOT a good meeting tonight.  I'm totally baffled how someone can sit in a room full of people who have ALL lost a child in one way or another and say that no one knows what they are going through and that what they went through is far worse than what everyone else has gone through... Yea for me personally a miscarriage would be far easier than what we did go through for Colette, but I would never say to anyone that had a miscarriage that what I went through was far worse than what they went through.  I would never dream of it!  Yet I had to sit through ...
