Thank you so much for thinking enough of us...Holly,<br />Thank you so much for thinking enough of us to share these precious photos. Everytime I think of Carleigh I cry. Sometimes it's tears of joy because I look at her and know how she touched me... even from so many miles away. Sometimes it's tears of sadness because as a mother and friend, my heart aches for you and your family. The one thing that makes me smile again is knowing where baby Carleigh is now and how lucky we are to all have known her... even if it has been through journals, blogs, links, and photos.Emily Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142944844041536061.post-8667923312334521632009-06-11T08:25:59.056-04:002009-06-11T08:25:59.056-04:00Holly,

I feel more whole after talking with you...or at least more sane anyway! <br />In fact, we haven't talked in a while. I know we were supposed to talk this weekend but I never heard from you. Of course, I could have picked up the phone too but I was not in a good place this weekend....something we can discuss on the phone if you want as it is....well, it was big in my mind anyway.
