Especially your children. You want to be able to raise them and watch them grow into little people of their own, with their own hopes and dreams for their future. You want to watch them take their first steps, say their first words, learn to use the potty! You want to see them off to their first day of school, clean their boo boos when they fall, kiss them everyday! There is nothing like the loss of a child and I don't need to tell you that. Tim and Ang, you are both inspirations to me. I know I say that all of the time but, anytime I even think about the possibility of losing a child it brings me to tears. Both of you are so strong. <br /><br />Good job planting your seed Tim. I'm sure he'll come around and maybe he'll write a bigger check than you thought. How awesome would that be?? <br /><br />Lots of Love,<br />Amber, Craig, Malorie(2 1/2), and Liam(10mos.)<br />The McLaughlin Family<br />Moreno Valley, CAThe McLaughlinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131393449323517990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-46804282967127935192010-11-24T14:40:35.743-08:002010-11-24T14:40:35.743-08:00Tim and Ang,

The Percy family owned substantial tracts of land in Tottenham and Henry himself had lived there for a time. Killed at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403, he had a great reputation as a fearless and heroic warrior even in his own lifetime and was called "hotspur" because of his dashing willingness to charge into the thickest part of battle. This dashing attacking spirit has come to symbolise the character of the club, reflected in their motto "Audere Est Facere" (To Dare Is To Do).<br /><br />The part that says, ......."because of his dashing willingness to charge into the thickest part of battle.: reminds me of someone!!<br />Lots and lots of Love LollyLolly Adamopouloshttp://theadamops.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-12941536215747954942010-11-24T09:06:32.701-08:002010-11-24T09:06:32.701-08:00You told the porsche guy very well!

I hope he will respond accordingly.<br /><br />It's strange, or may be not so strange that you think of the same "consolations" I did,when I lost my son. I finally convinced myself that it was normal and planned and it had to happen. Then our daughter was born with EB, although the prenatal test said she will be ok. She died too. I am fed with divine plans for now. God never mentioned the public work I did to help the others with EB and to spread information.<br /><br />But believe me, I prefer to be a 21st century mom and watch my children grow,than to be 15th century mom and watch them go just babies as if they are disposable.<br /><br />Think about that children grow and go away from their parents. Bella has grown too fast and now is away at Heaven's University. Is it a consolation for you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-63098930300669735002010-11-24T08:30:43.105-08:002010-11-24T08:30:43.105-08:00Tim!

Little sidenote, this weekend my husband and I went to Rome(our 5th anniversary present to ourselves a couple of months late). We few Easy Jet, if you don´t know it is that famous bright orange low cost airline. Well on Easy jet they sell Starbucks...couldn´t believe it and thought of you right away since you talk about them often. It was a little disappointing to find out it wasn´t actually brewed but dissolvable granules...never seen Starbucks coffee made that way before.<br /><br />Hugs, Jeni (Madrid)Jeni Mullenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216257227456439244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-87015093174621209992010-11-24T00:36:49.991-08:002010-11-24T00:36:49.991-08:00We can't have life without death, and we can&#...We can't have life without death, and we can't have death without life. <br /><br />I find myself pondering on my quick thought..<br /><br />Seems to be more where that came from I just can't access.<br /><br />Missed the photos, but the video....Couldn't have came at a better time.
