Todd, I, thankfully have never experienced a loss of a child. The way you speak of both your wife and your beautiful little girl Elise is so loving.

I don' t think that there is anything I can add that the other girls and Dave hasn't already said.

I wish you and Liz all the best. Take strength in knowing your baby girl knows how very much you both love her.

I found this poem this morning and thought that I would share it with you.


Dear Daddy

Don't cry for me Daddy
I am right here
Although you can't see me
I can see your tears.

I visit you often
Go to work with you each day
And when it's time to close your eyes
On your pillows where I lay

I hold your hand and stroke your hair
And whisper in your ear
If you're sad today Daddy
Remember I am here

God took me home
This we know is true
But you will always be my Daddy
Even though I'm not with you

I am Daddy's little girl
We will never be apart
For every time you think of me
Please know I'm in your heart.

I Love you Daddy!
You're Baby Girl
