I just found your blog today and have...Hi Caitsmom<br /><br />I just found your blog today and have been reading it. I am so sad to hear that Caitlin died. Going on her photographs, she was a pretty young lady. Obviously deeply loved.<br /><br />You mention, in the above post, the tragic events at Sandy Hook. What an absolutely hideous tragedy. With regard to the second plea - I can only say that I will try and teach my ten-year-old son that violence is not the answer. It worries me that he plays with toy guns (albeit the cartoonish ones children have nowadays) and I worry about him being exposed to violence on the internet etc.<br /><br />I am lucky not to have lost a child. My sister, who had a condition similar to DS, was ill all her life and died aged 32. It happened nine years ago and I still can't believe she is gone. I am lucky to have had her for so long. She was luckier than Caitlin. She would have loved Caitlin - she adored babies.<br /><br />I read what you wrote about someone saying they understood your grief because their dog had died - people do say that oddest things. <br /><br />I did miscarry four times and one of the babies had a chromosome problem. I remember someone telling me that it was 'for the best' that my baby died - I was speechless and just had to walk away. Best for whom, exactly? <br /><br />When Alice, my sister, died one or two people baldly told me that my parents and I would be 'relieved' in a short period of time. That was one of the worst things anyone could have said.<br /><br />Best wishes - thinking of you. I am in the UK. Hannah Patterson<br /><br />PS I have a website if you fancy peek. It's mainly just photographs - I did a trek along The Great Wall of China and the website helped me raise funds.<br /><br />www.hannahphotography.co.uk<br />Hannah Pattersonhttp://www.hannahphotography.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
