The doctors call you a special child to them that a classilfication, Lisa Rose you were our love bug, you taught us how to love and t o be fair. When mymom and my sister bought your brother an icecream cone' and came to stand in front of you eating them you asked," W heres mine? Wheres Lisa's ice qehn?"She could not quite pronounce cream but you get the message, My hubby was f urious:He told my mom "Either you buy cones for both our children or none . do no tever do that again." in your short 8 years you gave us so much and we loved you so much but God must have wanted you for something special.So yesterday I cried a little for the 55 year old d aughter I never wo uld see have p but Im so glad we had you for that time. Rest I n Pe ace Mu Baby/.by.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it probably doesn't get any easier on you. I will never understand why grandparents treat children differently. My mother always taught all of us to be fair with each other and share accordingly.

I don't mind telling as the doctor refused to do a casearn on me beca use he did not think blue shield would cover it so she was born as a black baby meaning she was not breathing it took them a half hour to bring her back to breathing in that time she suffered some brain damage. but in] lot of ways she see med q uite normal,But things l ike potty training seemed beyond her yet she learned to talk early and she sensed when people were not being fair my mom and younger sister treated her l ike she was retarded but she was not hers was altogether different. Thanks I ]only wish she had lived to grow up; she would be 55 now a year yo nger than my son.

@Hatley ...It will be there always. I think we can either enjoy having memories and realize what a miracle they truly are or hurt because that person is gone. I am happy to have the memories to remind of times in the past that were so good.

I am no mother and cannot be one. But I can relate to what pains you have gone through... back in your years. I am sure she is watching you from somewhere and happy about it that she had a mother who loved her beyond her, and all through her life. And I am quite sure that the great times you spent together have kept you going. I know the pains will not go and there is not much comfort that I or anyone can get you but here is a warm from me....

@Hatley You know dear MsHatley, I have seen and met such "unusual" kids and even grownups. Somewhere, I feel, these souls are more purer - they might not understand the world as we do, but they are pure in their thoughts, their expressions and their love. They do not have any ego, or any evil thoughts, just plain pure love and these traits are now such a rarity in today's world.
