Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Everyone - It was exactly a year ago today, July 5th, that Joe and lost their precious Janelle. I wrote them today, after debating whether or not to " bring it up. " Then realized that I would be touched if on the anniversary of my mother's death someone who knew her remembered us. Most of you never knew Janelle personally, but many of you know how incredibly supportive has continued to be of all of the parents on the listserve. Janelle battled a lot of medical issues during her short 2 years with us, and had a lot of complications probably unrelated to her RSS. She was the most amazing little girl -- she could get her father's attention across a crowded room with one big squeal... her grin would light up the faces of everyone around her.... everyone who met her fell under her spell. Joe and -- our thoughts and prayers are with you on this day (although the day is almost over), and on each day thereafter, as you continue to make your journey through grief. Tonight when I read Jodi's email about her daughter Jenna's grief over losing her friend, I realized that just writing Joe and might not be enough -- I wanted to post my thoughts here, about this incredible little girl. Jodi is right -- hold our children close, treasure every moment, even when they are misbehaving (my husband came home tonight to find my 7 year old son STANDING on the rooftop of my husband's convertible......)
