We've all felt that way Reatha.  I remember dragging my feet in
joining this group.  I think it was especailly hard because of being a
member of TriFamily.  That's where we all think we are suppose to
stay, even though we know that someday we will be here.  Crossing over
is just another one of those things that finalizes the death (so to
speak).  It is very helpful to be here though.  There are things that
you just can't say on TriFamily - not meaning that in a negative way
at all, but they don't want to hear (or shouldn't have to hear)about
our feeling of loss and dealing with a society that just doesn't get
it.  That's why we come here.

I would like to ask you a question though, if you don't mind.  How do
you feel when you are around disabled kids now?  For me it fulfills me
because it shows me what Jessica would be.  It shows me a whole
different life from what I knew, and what I would have had.  It brings
me closer to her.  I did have a really tough moment when I held a 4
year old at conference this year - it's not affected me that way
before, but this one was right on with Jessica's age.  I had a real
hard time giving her back to her mom.  I was just really curious how
those of you who got to raise your angels for a while here on earth
feel about this.  Is it harder to be around or does it give you a
sense of closeness to heaven?  Personally, I would think it might be
harder.


Anyway, Reatha, I just wanted to tell you that I loved seeing your
name and I've thought about you so much over the past year and half.
I'm so glad that I got to meet you, Duane and Jacob in San Antonio.
It's always an incredible experience meeting angels on earth.  Love
ya,
