[...] asked Jordan if she needed a hug. I’ve experienced this before… and I have found I should just let her be sad. It just sucks that it’s her pretty doll [...]

Bravo, Jen. I was in grief counseling last winter, and Thomsen’s left hand came up as something I needed to grieve for. As I was reading your post, I could just picture my counselors nodding to your course of action. I’m so glad I have you in my life.

That post was so tender. It really was precious. Your little Jordan has a fabulous mama to help her deal with her the ups and downs of emotions she will feel throughout her growing up.
Caitlyn has come to terms with her “lilly leg” and so it is nice to see she is comfortable with where she is at right now.
What a sweetie you have!!

Thanks so much. I am approaching these days with my little girl. Same spot on the arm.

At nearly-4-years-old she is so bright! She apparently comes by it naturally.

I was so moved by your post. Kendall is not at that point yet, but I find myself wondering how to respond when that time comes. I never thought about the mourning, but you are right, we went through it and it is only right that our daughter’s do as well. I came to your blog to ask a question, but received a blessing instead.
Your daughter is older and I wanted to ask you if she has ever tried jumping rope. Kendall is reaching that point and I want to help her as much as I can. I think we both know that we can’t do everything for them, but we want to help them when we can. Email me sometime because I find myself really needing to talk with someone who understands.

Hi — I just saw the link to No Limits on your blog — it looks awesome! I’m so glad Jordan had the opportunity to go there.

She looks like an amazing kid! Louise

Louise – I’ve found some great ways for Jordan to meet other kids like her. She got to know a 13 year old this summer at the STL Camp No Limits. Jordan talks about her on a regular basis… And I think that’s pretty cool.
