You guys are so wonderful. Yesterday it was such a shock to see Luke's name on his headstone. The only other official places I have seen his name written is on his birth and death certificate. I was warned by other moms who have gone through this that seeing the stone for the first time is hard, and they are right! Yest. afternoon I took the kids out as they were excited to see it. Pete, bless his heart, had to pick dandilions to but on his brothers grave. The kids are wonderful and still have lots of questions about death. I am again fine and back to "normal" (what is that?) today. Jake makes his First Communion tomorrow so I gotta get going and stop feeling sorry for myself.... I just don't have time. Thank you all for being here, I can always count on all of you . I belong to a couple of online groups for grieving parents but you guys keep me grounded! Some of you have mentioned that you don't know the story behind Luke. If you are interested, his story has been posted at 2 different sites that you can view if you like. I have been holding off on adding pictures as I guess I am not ready yet. Sound wierd I know ! Anyway the sites are: www.anencephalie-info.org under Lucas Adam. This was written a couple months after he died. www.benotafraid.net under stories then anencephaly then Regret looks back, Faith looks up This was written this month. Again, thank you all, you guys mean the world to me! Love ya, Sue

Dear Sue, I am so proud to "know" you. Thank you for sharing your stories of your precious Luke with us. The sites you linked us to honoring your darling son and the other precious babies is so beautiful and thought-provoking. I will think twice next time my ds8 gets on my last nerve. Thank you again (((((Hugs to Sue, Doran, Joe, Abby, Jake, Pete, Lucas)))))

I wanted to come back and say this:
There is no hand so small that it can not leave an imprint on the world.
Luke, Sue and family have left an imprint on my heart.

Sue, I read your site in tears. God Bless you and your family. You are such a strong woman. It makes me realize things are not so bad having a child with adhd. I needed this reminder. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Shelli
