I'm so touched by this thread, thank you so much. This year has been a more difficult one; I'm not sure why, but who can tell with grief. It helps so much to know that Kristen lives in the hearts of so many and that she touches lives in a very positive way.
I know this may sound strange, but thank you for saying her name too. It's really hard when people are afraid to say my daughter's name for fear I guess that it will bring sadness. It's not unlike when a loved one is in active addiction and well meaning friends don't want to say anything. But we understand because we have been there.
I love this community and I love you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and those who are dear to you and especially for those addicts and families still suffering.
mjpaao, I believe you are right...Kristen is helping you through this. Is this the picture you were remembering?
