First Blog

So I tried writing about my little girl in a journal but I just dont find the time where I can concentrate on it, and I find typing so much easier than writing - so maybe blogging is the better way for me to go.
I need a place where I can just write and get out with the thoughts.  I have a little book that I keep where I can write about her, and the little girl that she was and will always be remembered as being.  I am going to use my blog for my thoughts about the whole situation. 
Losing a child is the worst nightmare for any parent.  I think back to May 2009, when a mother of a child from my daughter's daycare lost her one of her children, a 6 week old girl.  I remember feeling sad and heartbroken when I was given a note asking us parents to try to attend the funeral for the little girl.  Her mother was only 19 years old and already living every parent's worst nightmare.  I attended the funeral and sitting there in that atmosphere, I was thankful that my two children were at home alive and healthy; I could not and did not want to imagine what that mother was going through.
Fast forward to the end of October 2009.  My own precious daughter on life-support fighting for her life in a pediatric ICU where she was airlifted to from our local hospital.  She remained on life-support for three weeks before her little body gave up and let go; she was granted her wings and began her journey to heaven on November 16, 2009.  Now it is I, day after day, trying to smile through the storm - trying to make sense of it all - trying to carry on, while bringing with me the special memories of my precious child.
