Best Friends Forever


Hi all

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be blessed with a visit from someone very special to our Immie. Imogen’s best friend Dakota and her mum Sharyn came to visit us. Dakota is the sweetest girl, she recently celebrated her 6th birthday (finally) and as Imogen could not be there she got her mum to print a big picture of Imogen and placed a doll she has named Imogen, near to her party so everyone could see her best friend Imogen and so Imogen could be at her party. Imogen and Dakota were destined to be best friends, and I have no doubt they will continue to be in future lives. It is uncanny that these two little girls end up being together through schooling the last three years and they both have brothers named Kody/Cody.
I was even lucky enough to get a big bear hug from Dakota, which reminded me of my Imogen’s hugs.

Thank you for visiting me Dakota and Sharyn; you definitely were my best bit of my day yesterday.

Love Fiona

P.S. I decided to listen to my own philosophies’ (thanks to the people who reminded me of them) and celebrated a fabulous birthday with my boys.
Even though Imogen was muchly missed, it was one of the first birthdays I have had in over three years when I have not been worrying about anything serious. We all had a great day, Breakfast, Immie visit, Just Dance (birthday present) on the WII (very funny), Shrek 3 at the movies; more Just Dance and Jason prepared my favourites for dinner with all my family. It was truly a day when I counted my blessings. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Fee some friends are so very very special and I am sure Dakota and Immie will play again and remember the fun that they always had.

We had a great morning with you both. It was so good to catch up, and look forward to seeing you again soon. Dakota loved seeing the picture on the screen, and also loved the broccoli!!! Take care
Smiles, hugs, tears and love

My heart ached when I read of Dakota and her Imogen doll. How sweet of her to think of that; and also how tragic and hard it would have been for you and every adult there, when we all just want the real Imogen back.

This is not as encouraging as I'd hoped, but I wanted to write something so you know we are all still thinking of you & your family and precious little Immie is still in our hearts.

I also wanted to say, don't think that because there are only a few comments, people have forgotten. I check often to see if you have any thoughts that day. Most times I read without commenting, but still think of you guys.

Much love & care
