A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. Thanks Sheila :)
A week full of emotion & memories; happy and sad. Thanks to all my bloggy friends for your comments on my post about Taleah's 21st remembrance, your hugs and thoughtfulness really means a lot. A very special thank you to my best friend Alaine; it's such a comfort to spend time with someone that you don't have to explain anything to because they just understand, and of course to Callum and Mike for being sweet and caring and there for me.
Bare with me while I share some photos; these memories are beyond special, the ones we create after a baby dies no matter how many years pass, are all we have to share.
