A small request... please

I have a small request and it won't take up much of your time.

Now that Emmah's spirit has left her physical body behind and has completed it's journey "home" I would very much like if you could all take a moment and reflect on Emmah... whether you knew her personally or not. Let us know how she touched/affected or made a difference in your life.

I especially would like to hear from those of you who know/knew her, what your fondest memory or memories of her are. Funny stories and what you remember her likes and dislikes to be (no matter what they are) and what word/words you would use to describe her.

In order to keep all of those thoughts in one place, please, please use this link only for this purpose only.

Thank-you

Another month... another birthday

Happy Birthday ANA... hard to believe that she's 4.

The first family member she met (outside of her mom and dad) was Emmah. Emmah was in getting chemo and we brought Ana to meet her big sister and for Emmah to meet her newest littlest sister. She's come a long way from the days that we didn't think that she would ever walk on her own.  She spent so much time in a car seat/carrier (from traveling around for Emmah's treatments) that she never really stretched out her legs and every time that you would pick her up she would tuck her legs up underneath or if you put her on the floor on her back, she would pull her knees up to her body.  Of course, she's everywhere and climbing and falling off of things now.

I'd also like to add Ana's birthday gift wish list... hope you have a second... or a minute or three
  • Natural Cheetos
  • BBQ chips
  • Fritos
  • Trader Joe Joe O's (TJ's version of spaghetti-o's)
  • Pretzels
  • Crackers
  • Brownies
  • M&M's
  • A blanket
  • A soccer ball
  • A Spiderman suit
  • Shoes
  • A notebook (to draw with)
  • A new booster seat
  • Something to listen to music to with earmuffs
  • Legos
  • Harry Potter & Star Wars DVDs
  • Play-doh
  • A camp sunshine shirt
  • Gummy penguins
  • and lastly Gummy bears
To be clear, she's not hurting for food, she's not walking around barefoot nor naked for lack of shoes and shirt.  She's not shivering for a lack of a blanket, there's PLENTY of paper here for her to draw on, we have the DVDs she's requesting and if we get any more play-doh, they will be calling us to buy it back when their stock pile runs low.

Interesting requests for sure...
