Deb - you have been my strength and inspiration and continue to be so. I value so much the positive inflection you place in all of your words and actions. Egbert knows how special and loved he was and still is (please excuse the gender allocation but Egbert never was or will be an *it*). How could he not with the positive affirmations and love you sent to him in the few short weeks of his life. All of your babies (those with us and the angels) know the depth of the love you have for them.

I wish I was there to support you and just hold you. I know the value of just being held and having someone physically share your pain. I pray you will be blessed with the healthy baby you and your family wish for.

You know where I am if you need me
