I am a "dog mommy" and at the moment, my furry kid is terminally ill. It makes me consider not having children for fear of something simliar happening to that child. I get strange looks (or laughs) and a lot of the same comments when people find out we've taken her to a university vet hospital just to see if there was a treatment they could offer that our regular vet couldn't. We'd do absolutely anything for her if she could be cured. While I know the way we care for her would make us pretty good parents, it scares me to think of being in that situation. It's sad that people can't show a little consideration for anyone grieving. Even though I can’t relate to losing a child… I am a “dog mommy” and at the moment, my furry kid is terminally ill.

You and I have many parallels in our lives. You even have an older daughter nearly the same age as mine. Like you, I learned who my real friends were through Camille. "Trouble is a sieve through which we sift our acquaintenances. Those too big to pass through are our friends." I went to your website and read all about your daughter.

I remember one of the biggest "hurts" of losing my daughter was losing the friends at the same time. It hurt so much when close friends chose to distance themselves, mainly because they "did not know what to say." say something. say anything. say my daughter's name, above all else! she DID exist! let me know that you remember her. all I have left is my memories of her. share your memories with me! please!
