Ok...I am officially a blogger, Mom, bereaved parent, and hopefully new Mom of an adopted child (soon).  This is one of my first posts.  I hope to create a page that tells our story as Abbie's Peeps...all of us...all of those who got the Abbie spirit.  I am not sure exactly how to do this but I figure I will learn along the way.  Abbie...my daughter, died two days after her 9th birthday...it was so hard for her when she learned one day before she died that she probably would die soon.  I still remember her scream "I don't want to DIE!!!!!"  Then the tears....oh the tears would just break your heart right open.  She loved living and being with her friends and her friends loved her.  She died on April 22, 2012...Good Friday, two days after her birthday and on her Pampa's birthday.  Oh...I miss her...so I have to stop writing right now as the tears are coming on strong.  Goodbye for now.
