I see you in him...
Forgot to mention something. Kim and I were out today, Brandon stayed home with Daddy for bit, but she had her twins. I commented on how much Austin looks like her oldest son, Danny. She agreed, then got quiet for a minute. She said, "I've never said this to anyone, but I have thought about what if we lost Danny that day in the pool...and then we were to have Austin with him looking just like him...how ironic, or maybe that's not the right word." I said, "First, thankfully that's not something you need to dwell on. Secondly, everytime I look at Brandon sleeping, I see Marissa. She had the same big blue eyes...same little lips...big hands...they could have been twins, too." She said, "Yes...she was a beautiful girl." It was all I could do not to cry. I'm crying now just writing it. Gone, but never forgotten, babygirl. We love you more then words can say.

I can see Marissa in Brandon, too. She is a beautiful little girl. I never met her, but I miss her, too.
Sometimes the smallest things mean the most, I will forever see Carlos and Austyn and I to see Marissa in Brandon, keep ur head up honey, Marissa knos we all think about her <3
Its the little things that are bittersweet but get us thru. Marissa is a beautiful angel and you must remember if it weren't for her you may not know Brandon as you do now. You are doing a great job. I can't imagine being where you have been, though I had a close call: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=NadiaRose&nextdate=10%2f9%2f2006+23%3a59%3a59.999
this scares me everytime I read it!
So sorry to hear about that.
I lost a daughter,too... Bethany.
And though I've gotten used to the pain, I realize its a part of me now and forever.
Brandon IS beautiful!
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your new little guy and your pretty little daughter, too.
