Unfortunately, as much as I love connecting with others online it can consume our lives if we permit it. Though maybe it isn't such a bad thing on some days.
Yes... sometimes it seems these faceless (well some I have had the privilege of meeting) friends are the ones who communicate more.
I received so many messages on Facebook yesterday and it truly meant more to me than I can say. Simple, beyond measure, words of compassion for my hurting heart. Three family members sent messages too.
I found this ...status shuffle on 'Facebook'
Good friends are those who care without hesitation, who remember without limitation and who love even without communicationI know I do a lot of communicating and connecting online, through email , blog reading and commenting, and lately more Twitter'ing and less of Facebook'ing. I do have real life friends but it seems we are all so busy.
The real life touch is slipping away as we reach for the hand of friendship via a keyboard. My Dh doesn't understand the lure of the laptop and daily web surfing to see what is happening with my dear friends.
I just wanted to say I treasure each comment made and consider it a thoughtful act of friendship -you are all beautiful ;). Your genuine kindness has been much appreciated. Thank you especially for the gentle strength you shared with me.
Charlotte was a precious gift ...some people only dream of Angels we cradled one and carry one in our hearts always.
May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have.
These boys are my happy place and their laughter is music to a mother's broken heart.♥
Never miss a post

I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it must be very difficult, my most lost 2 boys, I am "lucky" I'm the youngest one and i didn't get to know them, but I can tell my mom's sadness on her face every time when she reminds of them..God bless you!<><
Charlotte...what a beautiful name.
I'm sorry for your sorrow.
I'm happy for your joy.
Dear Trish,
I am so sorry Charlotte isn't here with you.......you should be chasing her around,with tons of giggles.
thinking of you my friend and Charlotte.
((hugs)) Trish. Thank you for sharing to help others. xx
Thinking of you always, forgetting the precious angel, who brought us together, never.
Hugs my friend.
Gentle hugs Trish
Must be so hard - I don't even want to think how hard - and I don't know what to say. Great to read about how you're focusing on the 'here and now' and the joy your little boys have brought to your life.
((hugs))
You helped me in my time of need so I thank you. Even though I wish you didn't have to.
((hugs)) So sorry for your loss xoxo
So beautifully written Trish. I am glad you spent the day treasuring your boys and I am sorry you could not have Charlotte with you too. x
You have a healthy perspective, a part of you always on the past to learn to appreciate the joy in your present. You have been through a lot of grief, but you are a very lucky lady too.
I've been thinking of you these past few days Trish (bad net so couldn't comment till now).... I'm so glad you were able to spend a day with people you love, remembering someone you love....
That photo of you and boys is just gorgeous!
That was so beautifully expressed, Trish. The photo of you with the twins is perfect. I am glad you were able to have a quiet, happy day to celebrate Charlotte's life. I found the 5th to be a particularly difficult anniversary...I hope it was not too much so for you. xo
I am glad you shared. Glad to know that these anniversaries will always be difficult but can be shaded with love and joy in time.
Thinking of you. I know how you feel, but I still don't know what to say except to hope you know I care.
"May we never let the things we can't have, or don't have, or shouldn't have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have."
I think that I will use this quote. Hope you are making it through okay.
Charlotte's birthday.
I hope next year you have a cake ...
I'm so blessed to know of this day now too.
Happy birthday Angel Charlotte.
