Ann Marie's 5th

I left out a close-quotemark on the Cuz BD link in my previous comment.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned on here about Cuz BD & wife's late child, Ann Marie.

They knew she was in bad shape early-on in the womb; when she was born with her insides out, it was worse than they thought. The best doctors and nurses struggled mightily for weeks to save her, and a circle of prayer radiated world wide, but Nature would not cooperate. That beautiful baby girl was tied up with tubes and tape from the beginning; her mother only got to hold her close, free of all that, at the very end.

I mention this because her birthday anniversary was earlier this month, and if you don't mind having your heart wrenched by some deeply personal words, I thought some might appreciate Ann Marie's mother's letter to her little girl on her fifth birthday.
