Oh yes... And Suz, the pink cashmere was definitely cathartic. I got home, and both John and Ethan hugged me at the same time with their faces against my chest (John was sitting down and Ethan is just short) and Ethan said "Is this cashmere?!" And then both faces buried deeper amidst murmurs of "ohhhhh cashmere..." Cracked me up!!

Here's to you and to Ellie living on in your heart and life. Both of you beautiful (and the pupper too). Wearing the jewelry she made is a beautiful way to help celebrate. ((hugs))

And again I say, great shoes!

I wish I could give you a hug! This is such a lovely way to remember your daughter. Sending virtual hugs.

Sarah: you look beautiful here. You have really touched my heart today. What a gorgeous girl! I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you had a canine companion today. xoL

I teared up a little just reading this and looking at the pictures of adorable Ellie. Am glad you had so many comforts around you today.

You are gorgeous, Sarah. And so is Ellie. What a beautiful observance of the love that will forever connect you and your daughter. I'm glad you had a sweet dog and your work, and your DH and DS on a difficult day.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful memories, Sarah. Ellie will always be with you.
Bruno came in the perfect moment.
The necklace and bracelet are beautiful and your outfit is fab.

Beautiful tribute. Enjoy the love of your wonderful family.

Sarah, I didn't know! I'm glad you felt comfortable to share here. You have a good way of celebrating Ellie's life and a healthy way of talking about it and grieving with your family. What a beautiful example of a loving mother you are.
Thanks for the tip on the Pixie pants, they're really cute. Cashmere always wins in my book, and I love the jewel neckline for your sentimental pretties. I was hoping you'd say that Bruno was yours, but at least he was yours for the day. Big hugs.

Your post brought tears to my eyes. You are a beautiful mother and Ellie was lucky to be your daughter

Happy Sweet 16 Sweet Ellie. You made your mama a pretty present she can cherish forever. You were taking after her in the style and creativity department that is for sure.

I hope you have a happy day Sarah and family, full of loving, sweet memories of your precious daughter.

Sarah thank you for sharing this with us. The memories of your daughter are perilous and this was truly a way to honor her.
