I lost 2 friends, on separate occasions, and my dear grandmother had a major stroke, all when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was so hard to deal with mentally and I think I shoved a lot of it down because I had to get through it for my daughter. In the last year, the "why's" creep in. Reading this is so helpful to know I'm not alone. Thank you so much!MissLadyMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055858677305026391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220480669687650088.post-32961914589411741822011-08-17T17:30:34.132-07:002011-08-17T17:30:34.132-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Devin Maier (brother)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14124635230248269354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220480669687650088.post-91298914257048263352011-08-17T17:29:55.800-07:002011-08-17T17:29:55.800-07:00Just found this.

Elyse, I was home the day your photo journal arrived and I opened it with my parents. It was such a kind thing for you to do, and it really showed us what we knew already: that Christine was very special and had touched many people with her unique charm beyond our family circle. Reading your blog post (even years later) reinforces this. Thank you, and I hope you still keep her in your thoughts.Gloria Maier (Christine's other big sister)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220480669687650088.post-24105783170324960902010-04-10T12:37:12.494-07:002010-04-10T12:37:12.494-07:00I saw Beth on Say Yes to The Dress and then found ...I saw Beth on Say Yes to The Dress and then found this.

After reading...Hi, lovey.<BR/><BR/>This is beautiful, Elyse! After reading about Christina, a girl I have never known an inkling about, she is in now very much in my heart now. You put her there. <BR/><BR/>I truly believe that, though Christina may not be here in the "physical" form, she is still here. Maybe she was called on a spiritual mission that required her to leave this human form. Or, think of this, maybe she will manifest into someone's spiritual guide, able to channel all the her passion, dreams and verve still. <BR/><BR/>She's still here, Elyse. Believe in her Be, whatever form, and you will sense her vividly and alive.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your heart and consience with the world, Elyse.<BR/><BR/>I Love You, Mamah!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916709671499900333noreply@blogger.com
