I wanted to share this link with family and friends. It’s a resource for family and friends affected by anencephaly. I know that a lot of times no one knows what to say or do and David and I don’t have the strength to help others while we go through this ourselves. So maybe this will be of some help to our family and friends as we all go through this.
I don’t think anything makes me happier than bragging on and talking about Brielle. I love her so much. My friend Emily, shared this link with me today and I think it rings true for me. I haven’t lost Brielle yet, but I do think of the days that will come when my little girl will be forgotten by others. That pain is deep and it terrorizes me. All I want for my baby is to be remembered, loved, I want her story to be shared. I don’t want her to be forgotten. I may break down and cry when I speak about her, or laugh as I remember how she would do things, I wont always know how I’ll react when people ask about her, but I want to be asked. I don’t want anyone to walk away and mumble an, “I’m sorry.” I’m sorry she’s gone, but I’m not sorry that I am her Mommy. I’ll never be sorry for the time I’ve had with her. I don’t want anyone else to be sorry either.
