No Thanksgiving Day in Australia , due to our history, but I do wish you all the best on your special day. Funny how special holidays often have attachment , like your memory of your son's death. Mine is St Patricks Day which was also my late beloved Dad's birthday.

Bonnie, there sure is a lot to be thankful for and we'd be more cheerful if we sat down more often to remember our blessings.

Sue.

Bonnie:

I m so glad you are able to create good memories for thanksgiving, I can shiver thinking of loosing child to illness, though I hav lost too but just a day old, and I m guilty of praying to God to take her away, I don't want kid with any disability, I still feel guilty about doing so, and feel my stroke was my punishment to my bad deed. I just wanted to hug you to tell you I know the pain, and just believe in God that our kids r now at betterplace than we could ever provide them

lots of love

Asha

Asha do not feel guilty, it was the right thing to do. I also wnet to the chapel that day and asked God to take Aaron, he had gone through so much and he was on morphine. Felt I only wanted him to staay for selfish reasons and it was time for him to be at peace. You want what is best for your child. Your stroke was not a punishment, it is something that happened from the pregnency, beyond your control.

We'll think of Aaron carrying baby girl around

Hugs to you also my friend

Bonnie

you are a great host and inspiration to others here. glad your day and time worked out to your advantage. happy turkey day, and the turkey salad, sandwiches, and nix nacks days ahead.

Bonnie and Asha, My heart breaks for both of you, They say that the loss of a child is the worst loss and I believe it.

I loved what you said about Aaron carrying a baby girl (meaning Asha's daughter) I have strange beliefs but I do feel as though there is a place where people "go". I do believe we are re-united also.. My only problem is, if they grow older as we have, what then? Or, do they remain as they were. Oh, and they have been restored to perfect health.

Asha, have you ever read about The rainbow bridge? Sure you have, Bonnie. Look it up on the computer, it is a beautiful story. Kind of makes me want to cry (if I could)

Thank you Fred & Phyllis. I feel I have made wonderful friendships here. I can talk freelly and others undrestand, we are all here for firendship and support and it is such a warm feeling.

Bonnie
