gratitude

I cannot begin to convey to you how blessed I feel today after all of the wonderful support and compassion you all showed me yesterday. 

 You are  what friendship is about.

and though I may not know you in person, I know you through this wonderful world of blogging. I hope you know that you are very close to my heart and I am filled with gratitude for your wonderful friendship.

 I am taking baby steps. I had her phone cut off yesterday and I plan to go there after Thanksgiving. No, I will not go alone to her house.

 I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw on my computer was this.

Tessa is 4 1/2 months old. How can I be sad, when I have that face to look at. I will be going to Atlanta at the same time I travel to North Carolina. Can't wait to hold that chubby, happy, giggling baby in my arms.

 Taking the rest of today off to decorate for Christmas. 

 With Love,
Laura

    What a cutie! Can't help but smile when you see that picture. Do they call her Tess? Just wondering because I have a granddaughter, Tess.
    Have a wonderful day.

    Such a lovely Tessa - yes, you're blessed!!
    Glad that you will face her, or attempt to face her with police or someone in uniform so that it's documented and you're safe.

    What a cute adorable sweetie. Can you just see her as a toddler? Oh she's going to be a heartbreaker.

    I know that everyone here wants only the best for you, and the best outcome, thankfully you are not going alone.

    Your baby is so darling. I hope she cheers you up. Mine is coming today for a short time. Enjoy your decorating. I think I am also doing mine early this year on Wednesday.
