I truly appreciate it. And yes, it's definitely a date I'll never forget. I'll never forget my sisters, my dads, my grandpas or my grandmas, either. Those dates are etched within my soul. But I shared this for exactly that reason - because it does hurt so much. And I know in times like these, we often feel so alone even with loved ones close by. If I can reach out and touch just one person, it's worth my while to speak up. ;-) I may share more later. We'll see. ~ Annie Hi Barbara,

Thank you for your kind words and sympathies. I truly appreciate it.

Loss of loved ones is never easy, and having had my share, like you said we always remember those dates. I totally agree, we do need to stop hurting others. That is certainly not why we were put on this earth. You have my sympathies.

It means the world to me and so do you. It is very hard to realize it's been that long, isn't it? Not a day goes by that I don't think of her but this year - this week - it's been incredibly hard for some reason. You stopping by and leaving a comment has just made it much more bearable. Thank you! Love you always, ~ Annie Hey Bud! ;-)

She gave me a whole new respect for kids at that time. I had no idea the strength that one person can have. I will always remember what she said to me so many years ago...."Hey, what are you looking at! I am sick and not contagious. I won't rub off on you. So don't be afraid and don't treat me any different than any other kid....I won't break." I loved her for that. It made me realize that even if you don't say anything the way you look at and treat people show more than words can ever say. To her I say thank you! For teaching me that lesson so many years ago. Funny that I picked tonight to turn on the computer and take a look to see what I needed to know. Looks like I needed a reminder there are bigger things in life that mean so much more. We need to look at the big picture. God Bless Sherri, She still is watching over us all. Love Kari It pains me to realize that it has been 25 years since Sheri passed away.
