In Brief

I wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers for my family and a little girl you never met. This morning, a bit before 6am while surrounded by her parents and both sets of grandparents, Gracie passed.

She lived 20 days longer than any doctor though possible, 7 months longer than any conventional medical wisdom could dictate, she won't be forgotten.

Not going to say much else, and I'm going to try to finally get back into the habit of writing – better news, I hope – in the morning. Tonight? I'm going to cuddle my husband and my cats and try to turn my slightly battered brain and heart off for the evening. Toss a thought and a prayer to a pair of grieving parents and a little boy who's had to learn what death is far too soon.

Night all.

Gracie is my firstborn's name. From the father of one Gracie to the family of another, God bless you all. I'm very sorry for your loss.

it's horrible that this had to happen, but at least the little one is at peace finally........

let's hope familial relationships can find some of that peace in the future.
