I could not look at you, your kids, or that cake without the tears flowing. On the way to the party I wondered if you all would be there.....thought that it would be too hard...but also thought you would be there because that is what you do. When I was shown the cake my heart sank a little because all I could think of was me having my kids but more me having a baby about the same age as Cate when she had her surgery. Then I saw Dude first, I was happy to see both children laughing and playing but when you all came around I just couldnt talk to you...again I am sorry! When they were rounding up the kids to do the cake I found myself a corner and just sat there hiding my tears as best as I could. Please except my apologies for being unsociable but know that you were in my thoughts every single moment that I was there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345543617741989942.post-62423667080626564182008-11-01T06:09:00.000-07:002008-11-01T06:09:00.000-07:00this really touched my heart, alot.
