Wings

I have just received news of the passing of an 8-year-old Trisomy 18 girl. Her name is Annette. According to her mother, she died peacefully in her sleep.

Much as we enjoy each day with Vera almost as normal now, such news always serves to bring her diagnosis to the fore, and remind us to treasure each moment with her even more.

I'm going to play with her now.

Sorry to hear about Annette. You are right. we just don't know when and learn to treasure each moment as much as possible.

So sorry to hear about Annette, but so thankful for peacefulness in passing. Does she have a site we can read about her? I will go now and give Annabel extra hugs this morning.

What sad news. Thank you for posting it because it reminds me to that even though today is good I still need to treasure it. I think I'll go and give extra hugs and play too.
