BUT, she is not gone forever! We will all see her again. Right now she is running and playing at the feet of Jesus and patiently waiting for the rest of us. <BR/><BR/>I know thinking about that doesn't ease the pain much but just remember you're not alone. Gabi touched the hearts of hunreds if not thousands of people and taught us that it's a wonderful thing to love others and to let others love you. She'll be on our minds and in our hearts as long as we're on this earth and she'll be with us all again someday. She's not gone, just waiting for us.<BR/><BR/>And remember, if you want to release a little pressure you can always come out to our place and scream at the turkeys! We love all three (four?) of you!<BR/><BR/>Grandma & Grandpa AckerFred Ackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10266663193573975730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-75023594627996821052007-09-13T14:13:00.000-05:002007-09-13T14:13:00.000-05:00I don't know if you ever heard the song "Held" by ...I don't know if you ever heard the song "Held" by Natalie Grant, but every time I hear it I think of the parents in the PICU who have lost children. The message is incredible and so true. Although I never took care of Gabi, I know she was a very special girl, with a very special family.

Keep singing and talking to your little angel, she's listening. You are her mommy, she will always be with you. I can't even begin to imagine going to sleep at night. I am sure it is very hard. That's one time people have time to reflect. My heart still aches with you. I just could not imagine how hard you two have it right now. Keep sharing your thoughts and hopefully that will help you in many ways. Take care, AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-17044929106029930432007-09-10T22:11:00.000-05:002007-09-10T22:11:00.000-05:00I just found your blog and am so moved by your sto...I just found your blog and am so moved by your story. Your precious angel has now touched yet another life. <BR/><BR/>Many years ago my family suffered the loss of a child. While he was not one of my own the pain was overwhelming. Now that years have passed and I have my own children because of him I remember how important and precious time is with them. Your beautiful angel will live in my heart now each time I hug my own children. Hopefully, you can feel and know that she will live on as she influences us all, even those who didn't know her, to slow down and really love those around us.<BR/><BR/>God bless you, your family, and your little angel. I will keep you all in my prayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-67798427497178717362007-09-10T18:56:00.000-05:002007-09-10T18:56:00.000-05:00I am sorry it was a rough day for you Sunday.
