“A quotation is a handy thing to have about...” - A.A. Milne

Today is 12 weeks since Erin passed away and I honestly can't believe it - 12 weeks since I last held her in my arms and cuddled her. My husband and I took a walk down to the beach and wrote her name in the sand - I hope she was able to see it.



Today has been difficult and so I am going to detract a little from the theme of the blog and take some time to think about little Erin and all she gave me. To do this I would like to share with you some quotes I have found over the last 12 weeks which have brought me comfort. Sometimes these quotes seem to sum up exactly how I am feeling, but put my thoughts much more elequently than I could ever express myself.




“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”
A.A. Milne

whispered as she closed the book "too beautiful for earth."

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”
A.A. Milne

"A Thousand Words Can't Bring You Back, I Know Because I Tried
And Neither Can a Million Tears, I Know Because I Cried."

“If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.”
