Forgot something...

Forgot to mention about the pendant.  I emailed all the gals involved about the pendant sent yesterday, and one IM's me asking if I, indeed, got a cross.  I said yes, very pretty.  She says they ordered the silver heart sliding pendant/chain that I had picked out when I was talking to Niki few days ago.  Gals are pissed.  I feel kinda bad, I really loved the cross-and more then the cross, I loved the feeling of having people who cared that I didn't know cared so much.  Anywho, Jenn emails the owner of the company, he emails her back saying they will send etch the heart early today (Thursday) and overnight so it will be here tomorrow morning.  Also said to keep the cross (which Jenn had asked he do, and I kinda figured he would, considering the delicacy of his business and to have a screw-up..well, that's just not too good).  So, the cross will be filled, and if Alex chooses to wear it (up to him), that's what the gal's hope will happen.  I'll have the cute little heart pendant with her name/year on it.  I still can't believe this group of gals did this-there's 1 of them I don't even know and she pitched in!  How amazing to have friends like that-I only hope to be able to be to them what they've been to me someday.  Jenn called last night on the cell phone to tell me that the guy was replacing it (and yes, that's fine, Jenn..we never sleep anyway...LOL), and she said "Marissa had a different plan for the pendants, I guess."  I thought how wonderful that people recognize our daughter as a being..an entity, if you will.  I'll end this little addendum with something Gretchen said to me last night in IM (I told ya I'd make ya famous, Gretchen..LOL).  This totally made me just start crying...what a wonderful thing to say...thank you, Gretchen:

"Gretchen" [9:33 PM]:  I believe that Marissa is up there right now, picking out the perfect child for you.  She will bond with that child, and then send them down to your womb.....along with a piece of her.
