And so you explain that you can't imagine not working at Sick Kids because you have the privilege of going to work every day and witnessing the miracle of children. They have so much resilience.Through all the medicines and procedures and yucky stuff, they still get to laugh and sing and play and be kids. It may be unconventional, and most certainly not ideal, but cherub-faced little blonde girls who love ice chips and Jack Johnson lullabies still get to be kids. Sometimes it's not for as long as you'd like, but we take comfort in knowing that the time they do have is there, in part, because we are. What is always most difficult is watching parents make decisions that most people can't even begin to comprehend. But we see it. We see their anguish, their courage, their immeasurable strength. And over and over, parent's make the best decision for their children, no matter how hard, no matter how painful. None of the choices you've had to make have been even close to easy, but they were the right decision for your family with the knowledge you had at the time. You did right by Sasha at every step of the way. She was very lucky to have you as her parents, just as you are lucky to share your lives with such amazing little girls. You are the reason why we get up and go to work in the morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260938.post-1151950758604733562006-07-03T14:19:00.000-04:002006-07-03T14:19:00.000-04:00Our hearts are with you in the emotional turmoil y...Our hearts are with you in the emotional turmoil you are undergoing.

Quite some time passed since the last time I had bumped into you and when I did, it was probably a couple months before Mia was born. It was in Yorkdale at Gymboree and you were buying something and I was with my son. Such smalltalk happens in these random encounters as we spoke about how you had one daughter at home and how this was my first child and and how you were expecting. How little did I know in those few moments the anguish that you were experiencing. I was so saddened to read about Sasha's death only weeks later and then moved by the birth of Mia. My heart aches for you and your husband in having to grieve such an unbelievable loss while at the same time sustain joy for the birth of your new precious daughter. You will find strength in ways that you never knew possible. Some of that strength is so clearly demonstrated in this diary you have kept of your beautiful girl's life. My thoughts are with you and your family.<BR/>RayniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260938.post-1151869134337869222006-07-02T15:38:00.000-04:002006-07-02T15:38:00.000-04:00I think that one day you will wake up and the heav...I think that one day you will wake up and the heaviness will be gone, but it takes time and healing. One day you will wake up and feel lighter, it will just happen. From reading this blog I can see you are a woman who has been blessed with a great resiliency.<BR/><BR/>The pain you feel now is not Sasha's pain; she is at peace and contentment.You gave her all the love and joy a mother could have and brought her to rest with such tenderness.<BR/><BR/>You will heal and one day will wake up feeling lighter and able to remember with happiness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
