Stores are some of the worst places for me, as I was so excited to have a girl to dress! I also think of everything in terms of before Koralyn and after her.

I have tears in my eyes after reading this post. I had tears in my eyes (cried, actually) when I learned of the Newtown tragedy. It hit me the night that President Obama named the victims. My husband and I were watching TV and both of us had a lump in our throats when he said Ana's name. Our daughter's name is Anna. It could have easily have been us feeling the excrutiating pain of losing a child. A reminder that life is so fleeting and fragile. You and your family are in my thoughts. I'm also your newest follower.<br />Dianeokcamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139763201219947629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-54690725206967378442013-01-03T06:35:45.355-08:002013-01-03T06:35:45.355-08:00OH!

If only she'd stay sitting the entire time instead of inching her way off the seat even as she's still peeing, perhaps she wouldn't be terrified when the toilet no longer senses her and decides to flush, causing her to leap (still mid-pee) off said toilet. /sigh Gotta love 'em!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-72927993423822576992013-01-02T06:24:37.002-08:002013-01-02T06:24:37.002-08:00Thank you for sharing this, Anna.

I thought of you a lot this year, as my son has finally fallen in love with Legos. I have told him about Jack and how he would save up for expensive sets hoping to inspire him. I also could not stop thinking of the CT families, of the gifts under their trees that would remain unopened.

I think you show up for so many, Anna. More than you can possibly know.
