Rose John: I'm so sorry you have to go through this; I can't even imagine how difficult this must be. Remember always that Addison is with you in a very real sense. Although you are unable to hold her now, she is there comforting you and she knows the pain her parents are going through as well as the joy you have had with her. She is seeing firsthand the immense strength and love of the parents who will raise her in the afterlife.
