The same thing goes through my mind each and every time I read your words. I have shared with you on many occassions on how much you have inspired me spiritually, as a wife, and as a mother. <BR/>May God bless you and your family and we will continue to think about all of you. I will tell you this, we have been spending more time in our backyard before we move to our new home and I see butterflies all the time. I just stop and smile and think about you and your precious Annabelle!<BR/><BR/>In Christ love,<BR/>KCKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544212397451493376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015698960813304832.post-40008647736291822112008-07-28T14:14:00.000-04:002008-07-28T14:14:00.000-04:00Just wanted you to know that I am still keeping up...Just wanted you to know that I am still keeping up with your blog, and am always touched by your posts.Every time I pass a major mile stone in my life (Andrew just got married) I miss your mom and desire to share my thoughts with her.

What you and Scott are going through is one of life's greatest hurts - loosing a child. I can not imagine it and pray that I will not. But, God has laid such blessing in front of you with Annabelle's life. I enjoyed picking up the teddy bears and bows and bringing them to you for the baskets. <BR/>I have learned through your experience to hold my kids more, love them more, and listen to them. Not to get too frustrated. Although they are 7 and 2, I still listen to them breathe and make sure they are ok. I am also thankful to God for bringing Jason and I to Riverland Hills almost 3 years ago to be blessed at this time in our life by Miss Annabelle and your family's faith through out this journey. <BR/>I am so glad that God is using that precious heart of hers to help the Doctor's and researchers for HLHS. May God bless you all each day, even through the toughest days.The Gandy Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589295067115895183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015698960813304832.post-80565480014651952462008-07-27T23:31:00.000-04:002008-07-27T23:31:00.000-04:00We have been thinking and praying for your family ...We have been thinking and praying for your family on this day.

They are so inspiring and bring tears to my eyes. My heart hurts for you and your family. I have 2 children of my own and can not even begin to imagine everything you have gone through. You are so strong and it is so great that you are making Annabelle baskets to make a difference in other families lives. You truly are an inspiration to so many families out there. Thanks for sharing and I will be praying for you and your family.<BR/>God Bless you always.....<BR/>Dawn Groves (Suzie/Lindsay Dean's friend)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015698960813304832.post-12005918618897229182008-07-26T18:04:00.000-04:002008-07-26T18:04:00.000-04:00Thank you for the beautiful post, Rebecca.

I love that you shared her heart with the Dr.'s. I would also find peace in not knowing what caused her to return to heaven, only that she was called home. <BR/><BR/>All of these heart babies are here for a purpose and I have learned more in Owen's six months than I ever did in 8 years with Kamryn. <BR/><BR/>Every month I celebrate Owen's birthday, I can't help but think of Annabelle and how she was born on that very same day, with the very same condition. I think of her reaching ALL the same milestones as Owen only in another place. <BR/><BR/>That sweet little angel has touched many lives!!! What a little miracle that you were chosen to be her family!<BR/><BR/>AndreaThe Simmons Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206401418544523378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015698960813304832.post-32444172338132745682008-07-26T12:48:00.000-04:002008-07-26T12:48:00.000-04:00Thanks for your honest thoughts and sharing of you...Thanks for your honest thoughts and sharing of your tears. I was just feeling sorry for myself because my life with my "heart baby" hadn't been "normal" and am convicted of my selfishness. I still have her and she is doing good. Thank you for re-arranging my thoughts on God's Plan as it is so easy to always think about our own.<BR/>This is my first time to your site. Saw you gave a basket to Maddie and wanted to see what it was all about. God bless you for turning your grief into blessings for others!<BR/>Angie HandThe Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657411604073874201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015698960813304832.post-69689949853601069772008-07-26T11:03:00.001-04:002008-07-26T11:03:00.001-04:00Oh Rebecca!I didn't get the honor of getting to ho...Oh Rebecca!<BR/>I didn't get the honor of getting to hold, touch, smell, or kiss your precious baby, but I too miss her!!! You are absolutely unbelievable and an even better pen pal. Because of you, I find strength to soak up every minute of every day that I have with Lindsay and cherish them as if they were my last. I awoke last night about every 15 minutes to make sure she was breathing and then gave her a kiss. A parent can never be too exhausted to do that! May you find peace in your findings from Annabelle's autopsy and may the doctors learn even more about our precious heart babies because of you and your brave daughter. You are in our hearts always!<BR/>Love, SuzieLindsay Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421144775356076598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015698960813304832.post-1709367180296552072008-07-26T11:03:00.000-04:002008-07-26T11:03:00.000-04:00Rebecca,Thank you for sharing your heart.

You are inspiring and I know that your Annabelle Baskets are making such a difference in heart babies' lives. Thank you for sharing your feelings--it makes e know that I am not alone in mine. Like you said on Luke's site, I am sure our angels are playing together and praying for us up in heaven.
