[tri-wings] Re: Poem

Linda,
Thank you for posting that again. It is a beautiful poem. I totally
understand what you go through with the in-laws. My ex in-law's were the
same way. My ex MIL is the one who told me to "get rid of it" referring to
Leslie when we got her T-9 diagnosis. It's hard for me to understand how
people can be so heartless.
Stacey, Mom to Leslie Serina T-9, 11-20-96 ^i^
Wife to Thom, My Hero
Mommy to Sandy, 2 year old Lab who thinks she' s a kid.

before, but since Julie's angel day is fast approaching, I thought I'd post
it again for anyone who may not have read it before....

> I thought this was a great poem. It really sums up how I feel. I would
love to send copies to my husbands family, but I know it would be totally
lost on them. I'm sure that Julie's angel day will go totally unnoticed by
my in laws again this year. You would think that after 4 years I would be
used to them ignoring it, but I'm not. It only makes me dislike them more!!!
Oh well, enough complaining...I'll go back into lurkmode again...
