We are now approaching eleven months that Mari’s been gone. June 16 will be exactly eleven months. Whether we want it to or not, time just continues to carry on.

I was going through this site a little while ago and realized that I’d not posted anything new since Mother’s day. It’s been hard this last month and I know as the day approaches the one year mark it’ll continue to get harder. Then I was reading the comment that someone wrote anonymously. What the person said was basically that I sound depressed and I need to get help before I drive everyone around me crazy. I couldn’t believe what this person said. Either they don’t understand that I’m obviously going to be sad and I may even be depressed, but was there any reason what so ever for this person to write that comment? All it did was hurt me. Or the only other reason I came comprehend why someone would write that is because this person is unfeeling and just didn’t care that it would hurt me.

The only reason why I write on this site is so that the people around me can understand a little bit of what it’s like to lose a child, especially your one and only child, and how hard life has been for me as the mother. I guess what I’m saying here and what I’m asking of everyone is that if you have something to tell me and want to make a comment, please really think about what you’re saying first before you write it as you never know how hurt someone may be by it. Thank you for your understanding everyone.

As a side note, due to what this person wrote as a comment, I have had to take away the ability to allow people to post comments anonymously. From now on, please become a follower of the site and then you will be able to make a comment on any post I make. I hope everyone understands.

I love you, Baby Girl, and mommy misses you very much.
