You are a beautiful mother and Ellie was lucky to be your daughter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ellies-16th-birthday/page/2#post-1365940 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 03:12:43 +0000 Anonymous 1365940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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.&nbsp;<br />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. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ellies-16th-birthday/page/2#post-1365905 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 02:28:19 +0000 Jaime 1365905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful tribute.

Both of you beautiful (and the pupper too). Wearing the jewelry she made is a beautiful way to help celebrate. ((hugs))</p> <p>And again I say, great shoes!</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ellies-16th-birthday/page/2#post-1365614 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 21:24:38 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1365614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ellies-16th-birthday#post-1365613 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 21:21:24 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1365613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all are just so incredibly kind! I was a little worried about bringing more to the table than just fashion, as I have a tendency to do... I never want to make anyone feel sad or uncomfortable. But you have all made this day even that much sweeter with your words and hugs that span the miles. I appreciate it more than I can say. Even though I was working, I was able to check the messages every so often. Some brought a tear to my eye (in the best possible way). I got to snuggle and play with Bruno to my heart's content, and then my boss sent me home early. We are off to get some sushi for dinner in just a bit, and continue the celebration of our girl's life. Even though we have been weepy off and on today, her birthday is always a happier day for us than her death day. So we mostly just enjoy the excuse to remember and laugh and cry. It's all good. :-)</p> <p>Jen: I just wanted to send an extra special thank you for chiming in with sweet encouragement. I know that you know how this feels... Sending you so much love back! &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ellies-16th-birthday#post-1365576 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 20:42:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1365576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So beautiful in so many ways Sarah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ellies-16th-birthday#post-1365573 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 20:40:44 +0000 jenanded 1365573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful... on a special day... more thoughts for you than words can say Sarah xxxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ellies-16th-birthday#post-1365566 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 20:33:50 +0000 Janet 1365566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, you look lovely as always, but this is such a special and touching WIW post.
