Bearflag, I’m so sorry. You have my prayers, for all of you. I know it’s been said here, but do remember, babies only know ‘now’. The little owl doesn’t have worries, won’t have regrets, and won’t be afraid. She only knows that you love her and take good care of her.
Hold tight, all three of you. Keep each other close, and share all the joy you can find.
And when you really need to scream, or vent, or rant, or cry, or just talk it out, we’re here.
On a practical note, I have a couple of things that might be appropriate for a silent auction, if that ever comes up. In the meantime, I’ll be watching for other news.
My 17 week old can’t sit up straight or unsupported yet, although he really wants to. If you let him go, he just slides to one side. He’s also not that great at rolling over yet.
I just had a look at the pictures, and your daughter is absolutely beautiful. Her eyes are so striking, and her smile just melts your heart. But you knew that already
I couldn’t bear to read the whole thread, but my thoughts are with you and your family bearflag70. I looked at the pictures - gorgeous, gorgeous little girl.
Oh my gosh, that picture where your daughter is looking into your wife’s face is just the cutest, sweetest picture ever. The expression on her little face is just so angelic. It made me tear up, and I’m at work.
I hope we can help you out with your financial troubles at least.
I would think your regular ol’ account would be fine unless you’re uncomfortable sharing personal information like that with us – then another account would be the way to go.
In the past I have served as a conduit for people who for one reason or another did not feel comfortable being listed or for Dopers who wished to remain anonymous – donations sent to me will be forwarded. If you donate through me please tell me if you wish Bearflag to know who you are, otherwise your name will not be disclosed.
My understanding is that whether they take a percentage or not is dictated by how the funds are labeled when they are sent. I’m sure someone a little more knowledgeable can explain this further.
I’m so sorry that your family is going through this. Add me to the chorus of posters who wish we had something less trite and more comforting to say to you.
