Hannah, My little girl, my best friend EVER Options

[Steph]

I too, have been thinking of your sweetheart today Marcia. I always think that Hannah was there helping my Luba out when she arrived on "the other side". It is a comfort.

[BabyHannahsMom]

Thank you so much Jim -- Lynn, Ann and Steph. Ten months and time just keeps going on without my girl. I miss her so.

Miss Hannah July 22, 1988 - April 19, 2004

My dear beautiful little girl dog. I love you and I miss you with all my heart. Oh, how I wish you were here with me, but as always I pray you are in Heaven waiting for me and that you are happy and free, playing with all your many, many dear friends with the sunshine sparkling down all around you.

Always know you were and are my very, very best girl ever. I love you sweet, precious bright-eyed girl.
Mommy

My Hannah -- she was a tiny, long-legged girl, seven pounds of love with a heart of gold, and how she loved me! I miss that love. I miss that girl. I planted a beautiful Calla Lily and some yellow daffodils on her grave yesterday.

I Only Wanted You
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Oh Marcia, Hannah just gets more precious to me with each pictured you add. I wish we could stop time and send it back to the days when our babies were healthy and well. When we could surround them in our love and arms. There is nothing we can do except wait to be with them throughout eternity.
Love, Ann

Hi Marcia:

I'm sorry that I'm late for Hannah's 10 month Anniversary at "Rainbow's Bridge.....

That picture of her is just sooooooooo precious, I don't think I've seen that one before...

I have no doubt, my friend, that Hannah is up in Heaven, running around with all her buddies,
and they're all watching us down here,....."making sure that we're all doing alright"....

I can just tell that you and Hannah.......You two were meant for one another...

Love, Denise xo

[BabyHannahsMom]

Thank you Denise and Ann. You are both so very sweet!
Love,
Marcia

Dear Macia,

As always, what a beautiful poem for baby Hannah...and what an adorable picture of her. I know I'm a couple weeks late for Hannah's 10 month anniversary, but please know, I think of you and Hannah frequently.
Love,
Kathleen

Hi Marcia,

I just wanted you to know I'll be thinking of you and Hannah on this eleven month anniversary. I know how much you miss her and I know how difficult it is to know another month has passed since you last held your sweet little Hannah.

You always post such beautiful tributes to her and I just know she is so proud of the way her mom always manages to find another poem or song to post in rememberance of her.

I do hope things are becoming a little easier for you, Marcia. The passage of time does seem to have a way of helping us to learn to cope with the reality of our losses. I do think of you and Miss Hannah quite often. The two of you had such a special relationship. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to seeing what poem or song you post for Miss Hannah today.

Take care,
__Jim

Hi Marcia,

I too, am thinking of Hannah today. 11 months. It seems so unreal that so much time can elapse without a beloved friend.

You know, there is a little dog that looks a lot like Hannah that lives near the place where I work. I see him/her all the time, and I always think "There's the little Hannah dog".

I think that Hannah was one of the first to welcome my Luba on the other side. There is no doubt in my mind that they are together.

Take care - Steph

Dear Marcia, I too was thinking about little Hannah today. It is so wonderful that we think of our lost babies on this site. It proves that we will never forget each others' babies and that we have a strong bond together.
Love, Ann

[BabyHannahsMom]

Yes, Eleven Months! Eleven Months . . . ELEVEN MONTHS . . . so hard to believe I have not seen my little girl in such a very long, long time. Oh Steph, I do so wish I could see that little dog -- I would so much like to see a little dog that looks at least somewhat like my girl!

I wanted to make a special, special post to Hannah today, but alas! I have had computer problems all day long, I don't feel well, and I'm so tired today. Excuses, excuses . . . I don't know what is wrong with me.

I miss her so much. This morning I just cried and cried and cried and I felt as though everything that happened that last day all came back to me, even though I didn't let myself think about it all too much. There just aren't any words to express the way we really feel, are there? It's just a good thing that we do all understand. My heart has been filled with sadness today -- just weighted down.

I miss you my precious little Hannah. I want to put my arms around you and hold you up just so tightly to my neck and feel your little neck press up against mine just one more time. I want to see that little bitty beautiful head and face of yours and those little tiny teeth, that little bitty tongue that used to give me such good, good kisses rright on my face. That last night, you reached up so gently and kissed me right on tthe mouth. I'll never forget that and the look on your face and the sorrow I felt in my heart knowing . . . I remember every inch of your little tiny body, the scraggy hairs, the little Alfalfa hairs on top of your head, the silky hair, the little bumps that used to worry me so until I had the vet check them. Those tiny little feet of yours, those precious little ears that used to stand up straight sometimes -- that smile, that excited little wiggle of yours. Oh, and your little shiny black button nose -- that nose! Your nose! My nose, Hannah's little nose. I miss you my love, my heart.
I miss your little padding about, the little click of your nails, I miss you waiting for me, I miss knowing you were with me -- I am always aware that you aren't here in this house with me. Your presence, that feeling. My child, my child, my child, my beautiful little silver girl.

Once again, I am lost without you. I always knew I would be. Mommy's trying to do some good things with the rest of her life, and I'll keep trying baby girl. Sometimes it's all just so hard being here without you. Your picture's right above my head and sometimes I take it down and put it on the pillow beside me. But I want to HOLD YOU, YOU, my little tiny little dog, my friend. I love you with all my heart -- the best girl EVER, mommy's girl, always mommy's best, best girl. Always.
Mommy

This song is for you, and I know all the mommies and daddies of your little friends in heaven/Rainbow Bridge feel the same. Lord, please hold our babies tight until we're able to be with them once again. We love our babies so much -- you know, and you know how much we miss them.

YOU'RE THE REASON I'M LIVING
Bobby Darin

You're the reason I'm living
You're the breath that I take
You're the stars in my heaven
You're the sun when I wake
You're the reason I'm living
Oh you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
I'd be lost without you

A long long time ago
When I was down
Wo-o-o you picked me up
And showed me true love
Still could be found

You're the reason I do things
You're the things that I do
You're the reason I'm livin
I'd be lost without you

Come and tell me again
You're the reason I'm living
Oh you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
I'd be lost without you

Dear Marcia, I am sorry you are not feeling very well. Maybe you are just so sad over beautiful Hannah being gone for 11 months. I know how you feel about wanting to hold her and all the other things you used to do. We just have to hold on until the day we can be with our sweet babies again. Hugs.
Love, Ann

[Rusty's Mom]

Dear Marcia,

I hope you feel better soon.

Sometimes I think I'll never truly be able to deal with the passing of my beautiful friend. I loved that rabbit so much. Even with our dog (75 lbs.) in the house, there's this horrible emptiness (and I love her as much as I loved Rusty). Good thing she's only 3 so I'll hopefully have quite a few years before I have to go through this again.

Ever since we buried Rusty, it's bothered me that he's out in the yard. I thought that feeling would go away but it hasn't. I asked my husband if he'd take him out of the ground so we can have him cremated. I think that will allow me to have some closure. I hope so. I do feel for you and wish you also could have some peace. There will always be animals in my life - dogs for sure but never another rabbit. I knew I'd be devastated when Rusty died, but never imagined it would be this horrible.

Please know that I'm thinking of you and your precious little girl. I don't know what we can do to make this any easier...........Just try to remember the happiness that Hannah had living with you.

Hang in there,

Love,
Lynn

Hi Marcia,

I wonder if things will ever get to the point of going through a day without thinking of them and feeling sad. I know I haven't had one. Even when I was away on a trip I did not have one day where I did not think of her. Can you imagine it ever happening?

I'm thinking of you and of your Hannah.

Steph

Dear Marcia,

I went back through some of your threads for Hannah...there all so touching with beautiful poems. I picked this thread because it had Jim's poem that he wrote for Little Man. I love that poem and thought it so fitting for Hannah's 15 month anniversary.

I know you miss Little Baby Hannah so much...she was such a sweetie. In going back through some of your threads I found a picture of her that Ann posted...Hannah was sitting in a chair with your 2 ##atiels perched above her. What a gentle spirit.

You're both in my thoughts on her 15 month anniversary.
Love,
Kathleen

[BabyHannahsMom]

Thank you Kathleen for thinking of Hannah and me on the 15th month anniversary. The poem Jim wrote is one of my very favorite poems ever.
Love,
Marcia
