saw me coming down the aisle and said said with big smile, "When are you gonna bring that little--! nevermind." she suddenly remembered.
I was happy. Someone remembers Charlotte, and misses her!!!
That is what bothered me a lot in the beginning. I was upset that her presence would be forgotten- all evidence of her existence is disappearing as I loose all the baby fat. Soon there'll be no evidence she was ever here.
I hate that.
But today, a lady who'd seen me every week of my pregnancy, and joined in with the anticipation of the baby- missed her, and said so out loud.
I wanted to say her name, because I don't get to say it EVER. So I was driving along and I shouted "Charlotte!!!!" as loud as I could.
and cried. felt good.

Charlotte isn't forgotten. I have thought of her every day since she was born because I still pray for her mommy daily.

Jeri, when the other ladies are talking about their little ones on here, I think about Charlotte. I think about SLG's little one, too. I know it might sound funny, but I miss hearing you guys talk about them--as in what they would be doing now--and posting pictures.
You guys are in our thoughts as you go through this.

I just saw this, and wanted to tell you, Jeri, what a blessing meeting you has been to me. Whenever I think of my Molly, I think of your Charlotte, and how sweet that they are in heaven together...rejoicing in the fact that now their mommy's know each other, too! How much I still love to hear my sweet girl's name! A friend was pregnant recently and asked me if she had a girl would I be upset if she named her Molly...I told her absolutely not...it's a beautiful name, and others should get to enjoy it, too. I think of you so often, and Charlotte is forever in my memory...much love to you.
