I was fine right up until the moment i got to the counter to pay and then the realisation that there was no excited child to take it from me hit home. <br /><br />At Reuben's christening this year the room was filled with blue balloons with the exception of one pink one. Those that knew didn't ask, those that didn't know did ask. Either way Abigail was remembered.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021954672487735136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-7216081028509137442011-09-07T01:29:11.205+01:002011-09-07T01:29:11.205+01:00I couldn't think of any words that sounded app...I couldn't think of any words that sounded appropriate, so just wanted you to know that people are thinking of you, and your beautiful son. xxxJacqui Paterson https://www.blogger.com/profile/17315907330389903524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-18429494921193904882011-09-06T22:59:58.030+01:002011-09-06T22:59:58.030+01:00GRR - I just lost this comment.
