As you said, you've traded one set of issues for another (hopefully less severe and limiting) set. But that new set is remarkable in its own right.<br /><br />Good luck to you and to Gabriella!Corrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13310899304411952614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488485855161131750.post-57293327277612881592010-06-08T18:41:42.640-07:002010-06-08T18:41:42.640-07:00I'm sorry you had to deal with that insensitiv...I'm sorry you had to deal with that insensitivity...

Not everyone walks around thinking of children with heart conditions or even about becoming a donor until it is staring them straight in the face. <br />Additional to that....it's just another way to share Gabriella's story and touch peoples' lives.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980962677435972539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488485855161131750.post-39844112411768559232010-06-08T06:47:06.032-07:002010-06-08T06:47:06.032-07:00It is totally someone's choice to wear or not ...It is totally someone's choice to wear or not wear a band, but for someone to suggest taking it off is just plain wrong. My significant other had an issue with his niece. Of course we wore the bands. At eon point I felt the time was right to not wear it anymore. It was acutally kind of odd as I had become used to wearing it. I took it off because I was convinced that she was on the mend and the dire circumstance had passed. To me it was positive to take it off. For my other half, he felt the need to continue wearing it longer. I never sugggested he take it off and he never suggested I put it back on. It is a choice and what the band signifies to each person. I continue to keep your beautiful daughter in my prayers.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232902335504603436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488485855161131750.post-23116502267395540362010-06-08T02:15:45.377-07:002010-06-08T02:15:45.377-07:00Kristi, can I just say that I love coming on hear ...Kristi, can I just say that I love coming on hear to read about how Gabriella is doing and how honest you are with your emotions! When I was healed everyone stopped wearing my shirts and just acted like nothing ever happened. I was the exact opposite and I was healed! I still wear my shirt or my braclets or necklesses. I still go back and read my blog or read personal journal's. It is a reminder of what God has done in your life for you and your family and those strangers you will never know of. It is a way to share and a way to remember. Yes I still do wear my livestrong bracelet sometimes! I tell new people about Gabriella everyday! It brings a smile to my face to think of such a beautiful baby in God's hands! :) And I will share her and my and any other story I can until the day I die! :)Angies Support Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938831908046788115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488485855161131750.post-30750505056437544252010-06-07T16:50:10.963-07:002010-06-07T16:50:10.963-07:00And, you are always a "heart momma" and ...And, you are always a "heart momma" and Gabriella always a "heart kid."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679832505983089584noreply@blogger.com
