She has been gone a month
(((MIR))) - I have thought of you often, and I truly believe your daughter is watching over you and beaming with pride.
You are honoring her life and your own in a way that inspires me and many others. Please know you and your daughter are always in my prayers.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Funny story
When she was 2 she would actively try to escape me. If you did not watch her every second she would take off as fast as her little legs would carry her. Her greatest jail break was making it two yards away before she was apprehended. I was painting trim on our house and she was helping but as usual her primary goal was escape. She wanted to go to the back of my house where there were woods. After chasing he down for the 10th time and getting no painting done frustration got the better of me. I told her that there were monsters in woods.
It worked like a charm. She stayed in the front of the house and I could make sure she was safe. One day about two weeks later. A very pissed off wife wanted to know if I had told my daughter that there were monsters in the woods.
MAJORLY BUSTED

I'm so sorry for your loss! It doesn't seem like it could be month. Time is such a paradox; each day without our loved one seems like a year but the weeks and months seem to pile up.
At least the ones we love never completely leave us but live on in our hearts. So long as we live something of them remains in us.

Thank you for your little story MIR. Very cute...although maybe not so much at the time!
I stare at the screen and know yet again there are no words nor way for me to understand the pain you are in.
No parent should have to say goodbye the way you have.

MIR, I've only just learned of your daughter's death and read back over the posts over the months since you first learned of her cancer: you are an incredible inspiration to all of us in your steadfast sobriety during the worst of all possible tragedies - losing one's child.
You and yours are certainly in my prayers,
Metta, Vic

dear Lord;
You have promised that you are near to the broken-hearted. We ask that MI and his family might sense your peaceful presence with them in these days and weeks ahead.
May they find comfort as they remember the happy memories they shared with this child. May they find comfort and glimmers of hope even as they look to the future.
May they sense your arms of love holding them.
Amen
