Subject: Just wanted to wish Heather S. peaceful thoughts on Noah's due date tomorrow

I knew I wouldn't be able to get on in the morning and didn't want you to think I'd forgotten.

I remember that due date day so well. I was due March 23, 1996 along with my next door neighbor. Little Jon was sb on 1/28/96, but Kim was still pregnant. I couldn't even look at her and stayed out of the way all the time. Jon and I were preparing for a LasVegas/CA trip and were leaving on the 25. So we spent the day out of the house keeping busy with shopping, etc... I cried but not as bad as I thought I would.When we got back we found out that Kim had had her baby son Chance, on the 25th.

I know you are hurting Heather and I'm so sorry. One thing that I will promise you is that the anticipation of due dates and then birthdays is usually MUCH worse than the actual day itself. January is awful for me, but I know that if I can survive to the actual day then it becomes much easier. You will survive as well but don't feel bad about hurting and cry all you want too. Repressed grief does so much more damage!

Love you sweetie!

The anticipation of these kind of dates is much harder than the actual days, or at least that is the way it was for me. The day wasn't easy, but it was nothing like how I expected it to be. My prayers are that you felt a lot of peace and will continue to do so throughout the day and those to come.

I know our children know of each other and often speak of each other. I know, Heather, that they must take great comfort knowing that we are here, together, supporting each other...good days and bad days...and I know that they must miss us as much as we miss them.

Sending you many hugs - know that you are in my prayers.

Jo

I did make it through the day, but it was hard I just wanted to cry all day. It just seemed nothing go go right yest. Everything from the cold shower to the dumb cable man that we waited for 6 hours to get here then installed the wrong thing. I am glad the day is over. Now to get through the rest of life with out Noah. I don't even want to think about it.
I got a package in the mail on the 13th from a friend in Florida, it had Christmas orniments in it for all three of my kids, Kennedy, Jordan and Noah. And a sweet letter. I was so glad that this family had included my sweet Noah and hadn't forgotten him, as it seems so many people have.
Thanks ladies for being here for me and eachother!
Thanks for all of the help and support.
Love,
Heather
