This has been the most difficult week of our lives, our daughter was our heart and soul, the sense of loneliness is incredible. Everyone’s kind words, posts and support has helped to comfort us. I can’t describe the feeling I had the morning after our daughters passing when I opened up Facebook to see Lauren had taken over my entire newsfeed. So many had shared stories and pictures about our princess – our hearts were warmed. On Lauren’s page there are still countless messages waiting for us – I can’t help but feel blessed and overwhelmingly touched by the impact our baby girl has had on others and their lives.
Buddy hasn’t been quite the same since Lauren is gone, he is constantly searching the house for his best friend and sister. I used to cry when Lauren was alive at moments when her disease overwhelmed me, Buddy had always seemed used to and indifferent of those moments, now when I cry I find him jumping into my lap trying to kiss me to ease the pain. It’s truly remarkable.
