32 years ago today, I gave birth to my second daughter, Kathleen Alynne. She weighed 8 pounds and 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. She came into this world with red curls and green eyes and left us six and a half years later, with the same bright red curls and flashing green eyes.
I miss her more each year. I still cannot believe that she is gone from us. She was a sweet, kind, gentle little girl, who never had the chance to grow up.
So bear with me today, as I remember and shed a few tears, for the sweet daughter, I lost, far too early in her life.

Happy Birthday, my dear, Katie and rest in peace.
Extra big hug today.
Your little girl was so beautiful.
OMG, Maribeth, I just recognized that your little girl was born on the same day like my Mom. It’s her Birthday today too. She was born on the 08th of November 1944.
I am thinking about you today and send you a big hug!
This is the third year I have been reading your blog and each year I am reminded about how strong you are and what a lovely person you are!!
Much love to you on this very difficult day.

I think no parent can ever get over the loss of a child. My heart goes out to you, my friend. I still remember the first time I read your post about Katie. I cried a bucket of tears.
Our sky here (in Dubai) is unusually dark, heavy with rain clouds. They must be thinking of you and Katie too.

I just can’t imagine,,,,,,,,,,,Peace!
Awe, I will be with you in my thoughts and prayers! I know you must miss her soooo much! ((HUGS)))
For me too it is the third year that I participate in your grief. I think it is the worst thing to loose a child.
It seems to me that each year you show us other pictures of Katie !
I wish you get over this special day with not too much sorrow.
HUGS. My heart goes out to you.
Welcome to Singapore! I will be glad to meet up with you. Please contact me.
Dearest Maribeth,

Many many hugs to you,
Uschi
Hugs and love coming your way today!
Oh my dear Maribeth…
Lovely tribute to your little Katie… As has been mentioned, not many people know just how hard it is to loose a child, it is hard, sad, quiet… I feel your pain, and sending you the warmest Aussie hugs. Not only today, but always…
Take care of yourself, and remember her her always with love…
