Thinking about Leah and Beth today

[C99]

Today is a day of mixed emotions for me. Not only because it is my DD's birthday, but also because it is the day that Beth (egoldber) lost her precious daughter, Leah. Just wanted to let Beth and her family know that I have been thinking of them.

[deenass]

You are not the only one ...

Beth, you and your family are in my thoughts.

[missym]

My prayers are with Beth and her family, as well.

Thank you for starting this thread, Caroline.

Caroline, Happy Birthday to your DD! I'm sorry this was a day of mixed emotions for you and I know it always will be. Hugs to you!

And Beth--I've been thinking of you and Leah since her birthday and just want you to know you are both in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Hugs to you and your family!

[daniele_ut]

I've been thinking about you and Leah all week, and especially yesterday. I always remember Leah as Kiely's birthday approaches because they are so close together. I hope that your family had a peaceful day remembering sweet Leah and the time you shared.

[trumansmom]

It's so hard to find the right words to say. Beth, please know your grace and strength has been an inspiration to so many people. In Leah's far too short life, she touched more people than most of us can ever aspire to. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of her life and memory.

You are both always in my thoughts.

[ShanaMama]

Caroline, thanks for mentioning this. I don't always notice the dates in the siggies. Happy birthday to your DD, & happy late birthday to your newest. I missed the chance to congratulate you on your darling baby.

Beth, I probably have no idea how hard it is for you to get through this time period. I just want to send you warm thoughts & wishes.

[squimp]

Leah and Beth are in my thoughts too. Many good wishes to your family.

And Caroline, Happy Birthday to your sweet little girl.

[Jenn98]

I often think of Beth and Leah. (((hugs))) to you!!!

[wendmatt]

Thinking of you and your family Beth.

[lmintzer]

Beth and family,
Thinking of you and of Leah and wishing you peace.

[egoldber]

Thank you all. We've been away this week and I just saw this. It means a great deal to me that Leah is remembered, especially since most people I know IRL have not said a word to me in remembrance of Leah this year. :(

[Jenn98]

Well, it's too bad we don't know each other IRL cause I think of Leah a lot! And I often wonder how you and your family are doing. Hugs to you, your DDs and your whole family!!

[mommyoftwo]

I missed this post earlier Beth but I am thinking of you and your family. I'm sorry no one has mentioned Leah IRL but know that we are thinking of her here.

[denna]

That is just awful. ((Hugs)) Beth. I didnt respond to the OP because I didnt want to upset you by mentioning it and I wasnt around when it happened.

I have been thinking about you and Im so sorry that you havent had the support from your RL friends.

((Hugs))

[barbarhow]

Oh Beth-My heart just sinks reading your post. I am so sorry that people haven't acknowledged her death and all that your family has been through. I hope that as each year passes the pain lessens by some degree. Thinking of you and your family.

[o_mom]

I'm sorry your RL friends haven't been supportive. I know that Leah will never be forgotton here.

[brittone2]

Oh Beth, I'm so sorry. I'm sure they remember Leah and just don't know how to talk about it with you.

We all certainly remember your beautiful baby girl and we are here for you.

[ErinMC]

Beth - so sorry your IRL friends haven't acknowledged Leah this year. We're all thinking of you here...

A few more hugs to you. You've been on my mind this week and last.

[Radosti]

Beth, your family is in my thoughts. I know Leah is watching over the rest of your family from above. She is your very own angel.

[CharmedOne]

((HUGS)) to you Beth. Leah will always be remembered here! I'm sure your IRL friends haven't forgotten. They probably don't know how to approach you.

Just wanted to add also - please don't think the ones near you have forgotten your daughter.
I didn't respond to the OP b'cos I was searching for the right words - and I don't even know you. I imagine it must be much harder for people close to you to talk about it.
And like everyone said, we all remember Leah and think of her often.
