In memory.  I am new to your journal but see the tag spina bifidia.  A friend has the gene in her family and two children have been born with it.  She took care of her grandson all during his childhood, and he later began to write the most touching poetry.  His cousin died in her early twenties, but his was not so severe and he is still doing well.  I am sorry for your loss.  Gerry http://journals.aol.com/gehi6/daughters-of-the-shadow-men/

Hi Jackie,
I'll bet that no matter how sad the loss of Charlie was, there was a lot more joy in the life he shared with you. My heart ached for a moment when I saw those pictures, but then I realized that the love that was there is something you'll always have.

Happy Birthday, Charlie. All my love Jackie :)

Happy Birthday, Charlie.  You are a blessing that will live forever in your mother's heart.  My niece would have been turning 25 in May if she was still alive.  She had spina bifida too.  Many hugs to you - Julie

Dropped in via Jeanie,  What a great lad Charlie surely was. I am so glad that you can remember him with such love. As a fellow Spina Bifida reader who has been so fortuante to live a fairly long and happy life I know how very important parents were in my life and I am sure Charlie was as well.  Sybil x

I love this verse:
"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13:2

I believe that God blesses some families with special children that are his angels on earth.  God bless you.

I'm another one sent over her by Mary.  You are a wonderful writer.  I've been blessed to be a recent first-time father, and you remind me to cherish every moment.  Thank you for that!  These are great pictures of Charlie.
