Subject: [cherubs2] Re: Whats happening? Also need some advice Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 12:51:05 -0000 From: "doyle_propst" Reply-To: cherubs2@yahoogroups.com To: cherubs2@yahoogroups.com Michelle, Some here have mailed out special cards to friends and relatives reminding them of one of the most important individuals that touched our lives. I prefer not to remind, just because for those that really cared - I think they would remember. You know what I mean? My mother to always sends a card on Cecilia's B-day and on her Heaven Date. (She is the only one of friends and family other than CHERUBS friends.) I never did the cake thing - but think if you have young children they would LOVE this! I love the balloon release and you can do that anywhere. After all, Callum is EVERYWHERE! Another thing I find so helpful to us is we donate in her name to CHERUBS (and others but we are promoting CHERUBS here because the organization needs money!) Thinking of you on this special day approaching! With Love, Hope & Prayers, Elizabeth, Mom of Cecilia, 11/2/99-12/10/99 - If I am considered "wise" - it comes from her! --- In cherubs2@y..., "Shellie Weber" wrote: > I wasn't going to get involved with what is going on with the list but the more I thought about it the more upset I got. > > The reason I joined was to have support from other parents going through what we have knowing how I was feeling etc.These last couple of weeks no one seems to be supporting any one.Sorry if I'm speaking out of turn. > > We are all here for the same reason we've all lost children to something no one knows why happens There is no point getting upset at each other.

We have his ashes at home so we don't have any where special to go other than the hospital he was at and we are already going there 2 weeks before for a charity event. I read on the website about letting balloons go and my other 2 love the idea (they want to write a note & send some cake) > > The other thing is should I remind people it's Callum's day? My dh says no if they want to they will remember on their own but I think I should.
