This page is to thank all my dear friends, {both old and new} for being my friend's through all I have been through this past year. I want to thank each and everyone of you on my site so the whole world knows just how much you mean to me...

First and foremost I want to thank my Mom. Her only dream for the longest time was to be a Grandma, and she waited so long and so patiently for me to have a baby. When I told her the news she was so happy and excited that finally that day was coming when she could have her first grandchild. I will never forget the day Mom that I called you from the hospital after my appointment to tell you that the baby would die. It broke my heart so much to know how much you hurt too. You stayed with me and supported all my decisions I made, and respected what I believed to be right. You were with me as I made it through my diabetes and all my health ailments. You were with me as I wept tears of happiness and joy in carrying my little one. You stayed with me as I delivered my Angel and together we watched her baptised and then die in my arms. I watched you wash her, and then dress her in her little outfit and then rock her for the longest time. I cannot thank you enough mom for not only being my mom but also being my friend. And mom... I promise that I won't give up till I give you a sweet grandchild to hold and to love, because Mom I need it too!

Thank you to my dear husband Sabry for being by my side and letting me make my own decisions about Gabriela. I know how hard it was for you to watch me grow with our child and know that she would not stay with us. I know how hard it was for you to deal with this, but you still respected what I felt was right. I know how little you said, but I felt how much you felt. I only know that without you I would have fell to pieces and am glad our marriage has only become stronger through all this. Thank you honey bunny for being my husband and being by my side always.

Thank you to my Dad and my brother Matthew for being just who you are. You did not need to say to much when you heard the sad news but I knew that you were as hurt as I was. I know how much Dad you dreamed of a little granddaughter to watch her grow. Just thank you for being there for me, for your eyes revealed all you had in your heart without saying a word.

Thank you to my wonderful Doctor I had. Dr. John Smith you were amazing. I know hard it is for you to tell a woman that her child will not survive. I could see it in your eyes. I thank you for your wonderful care of me and respecting whatever my decisions were. I can only Thank God that I was blessed with such a wonderful and caring Doctor. I am so happy that you will be there for me the next time around. May we find a happier ending this time.

Thank you to Chaplain Victoria O'Connor for being there to baptise my sweet Angel. You did more then anyone could have done by being there in my delivery room and making sure that my sweet baby was baptised in time. You sat with me while I was in labour and waited for so long till little Gabriela decided to come. I feel honoured that our paths have crossed and feel so blessed that we are friends.


Now lets try some shorter thanks or you will be here all day!!!

Ryanne, for reaching out to me as I found out about Gabriela. You understood as only another Potter's mother could understand. Thank you for your poem you sent me it brought tears to my eyes, yet happiness to my soul.

Lori, your sweet Angel Chloe died of Potter's just a few months before Gabriela and you reached out to help me get through the end of my pregnancy. You did what no other person could do, help me prepare some memories. The footprint kit has left me with the sweetest footprint for me to hold onto forever.

My wonderful neighbours. I live in the best neighbourhood in the world I think. I have such wonderful neighbours and all were so kind to me during my pregnancy and afterwards. Thank you Chuck and Tara, Julie & Eric, Pete, and a ton others that would fill a page. I especially want to thank Chuck as we share a common bond of having his lovely wife die just a short time before Gabriela. I feel blessed that his sweet wife Sandi is now Gabriela's babysitter, and boy is Gabriela lucky!



And now thanks to my current friends who I met shortly after Gabriela's left to Heaven.


Delores, for being an Angel and starting up the Potter's Syndrome Forum for us all. (It is too bad we had to meet through our Potter's losses. I am very lucky to have you as a friend. But please Delores your pregnancy vibes your sending me are bound to give me twins or triplets. (Delores has a sheep farm and her sheep are all having multiple babies, and Delores has twin girls) God has blessed me with a friend like you.

Dee, I met you when you found my email in the internet during the midst of carrying your sweet son Jamie. My heart broke knowing you were going through what I had gone through so few months before. I feel blessed to have met you Dee and hope that despite our distance (Dee is in Ireland) that our friendship will last forever. I want the chance to watch you carry a healthy baby to be.

Cheryl, we don't know each other that long, but you have been my ICQ pal for a while now. We share pretty close timing on the loss of our Potter's babies. I am glad to have met you and to call you my friend.

Tamara, you lost your baby to a different reason then mine, but our bond of friendship comes out of our losses. I feel very blessed to have you as a friend, as your greeting cards and emails cheer me up each time. You have two blessed children Austin and Leila that are absolutely Earth Angels and although I have not met them I love them so much!!! I know that our friendship will endure forever. I look forward to giving you good news one day soon.

Jennifer, we both lost babies for different reasons, but our losses have made us friends. Thank you for being my friend.

Theresa, you have lost a sweet child and are now carrying one again. I am glad you are my friend and pray that you will only find much happiness and well being in this sweet baby coming.

My goodness I think I covered everyone, but I bet you I didn't. So forgive me if I missed your name as I am sure I will need to update this again. I tried to do this from my head all in one try so please if I forgot one of you, you will be added. Hugs to all my dear friends, and God Bless you all!
