Happy Birthday, Baby! (Picture)

Here's my baby girl, 8 months old today....sigh. Mamas (and Papas) do you know how I miss her???!!!!! Do you know the ache I'm speaking of???!!!!!!!

We're coming up on 6 months in PGN -- Some days are harder than others (today's been a rough one). No matter what, though, I find love, support and laughs here with you all on this forum. You're the only folks who understand the highs and lows of this crazy process and I am so grateful to you for it!!!!!!!!

She is beautiful! Our daughters share a birthday 8/12/04. I have not posted any pictures on the forum, I guess for fears of the unknown. I guess I may when she is definately home for good. Come on PGN, let the older cases out first!!
