I am just getting caught up after some rough days with our daughter's health. I am sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful daughter. It is something we have faced many times this last year, and will face again soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I am heading now to make a donation to the Batten foundation.
You will always have a daughter, right? I hope they are up in heaven...Celia throwing that ball, laughing and Colby (right?) chasing after it, tail wagging.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Aching heart for you, for priceless Celia, for your dear dog.
Animals are every bit as much a part of the family as the other members. They make grief easier to bear. I so wish they both were back in your arms, by your side.
There are so many times I start posting a comment and just delete it. I know there is nothing really anyone can say. I struggled when people asked how many children I have after Emma passed. It's more comfortable now to say, "Four." Sometimes I give a very brief explanation, and sometimes I don't. I'm sorry about your dog. I remember losing a dog. It was hard...really hard. Hugs
Precious picture! Missing Celia and Colby with you. So hard. Life has forever changed and you are forever changed. Celia and Colby are alive in Heaven and Celia will always be you firstborn daughter who lives in Heaven and Colby is there with her and you will see them again. May God comfort your heart and give you strength and hope for each day. Love and hugs and prayers, Debi
(((hugs))) to you

I wish I knew the "right" thing to say, but I know there isn't one. Hang in there-we are always thinking of you and praying for you.
