Re: New to this
Oh, Barb....it is so hard to know when it's time. I am so sorry. I'm sure he was letting you know how much he loved you. How I wish I had been with my Lena when she was set free. That torments me to this day. I wish with all my heart that I had been holding her in my arms. They are so much a part of our lives, especially when they have an illness that requires constant monitoring and care-giving. Everything we do is for them; every thought is about them; our lives revolve around them. When they leave there is such a hole, so much silence, so many what ifs.
Jake knew how much he was loved and he loved you and Robin. I think that is all that really matters. Like Lena, he had a good life with people who adored him, as we did her. I have to keep reminding myself of that when I begin to wonder and the what ifs begin to torment me.
Many hugs to you and Robin...
Joan, mom to my Angel Lena, Angel Gable, Angel Phoenix, Angel Doree, Cooper, Sibble, and now Raina.
