Superior writing. Excellent story, though I am reluctant to call it a 'story'.
I am sorry for your loss. But very happy knowing where Jaimie is now.
Life for you must be very different now.
Best wishes.

I ran away or tried to run from a pain such as I have never felt. Waiting in our home for her to appear saying, as she did every day, "I need a hug," became impossible. I moved to Florida where she and I had so many happy memories. Many people have become friends, but I also discovered that running away does nothing to solve the problem. I will be returning to Alabama to be with those who supported us so strongly while she was ill. Thank you for your review. Hugs.

What an absolutely well-written, wonderful story about your beloved Jaimie. I am so sorry for your loss. She seems like a very special person whom everyone loved, superior in so many ways to most "normal" people.
You presented her loving nature and her willingness to lend a hand, wherever it was needed, in such a beautiful way. I know people, especially you, Mom, will treasure her memory forever.

When here doctor said take her home, love her and expect nothing, we told him we would never expect nothing. Instead we waited for her to say she could not do something, which we never heard her say. She loved the world. Unfortunately, she met those like one woman who said 'those people should never be brought outside." I replied that I was just thinking the same thing about the woman. Yes, I will treasure her and her memories forever. What a beautiful trove of memories she gave us! Thank you for reading and commenting. Hugs.

Your story is touching and well-written. It is a lovely tribute to the daughter you loved so much. I can feel your pain as I have lost children too. I knew a boy who had downs syndrome. He was never encouraged to do things, so he didn't progress like your daughter. Your story is beautiful.

So sorry for the loss of your children. I thought losing my husband was the worst thing that could happen. It paled in comparison to losing our daughter. Jaimie encouraged me as much as her dad and I encouraged her. She was truly amazing. Hugs.

"An Unknown Miracle"
When I read your story about your daughter Jamie.
I think of my son Jason who was also an Angel.
And, how he passed away in a terrible accident on March 31st, 2003.
And, how much he was loved and missed.
And yes children that are born not exactly the same are all Angels Above and have nothing but the largest smiles for even those who have the largest doubts.
...
The loss of a child no matter the sex, age, or race is a Parent's Worst Nightmare that continues to give.
...
This was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
I missed out on meeting that young woman but with no doubt.
Yes, I know she's doing the same exact thing about with my son Jason!

So sorry to hear of your loss. It is so hard, so very hard to be expecting them to walk into the room and then realize how heavy the silence is without them. Hugs, Maggie

Jaimie was on temporary loan from God when she was born, Maggie. I loved your story. What a sweetheart. You did an awesome job telling her story. It is one every person needs to read. I encourage you to send it to as many publications as you can and hopefully, many will print it. Jaimie's middle name was Love--named after you and her dad's middle name of course. What an inspiration the little dynamite child/girl/ woman was and will continue to be forever. Thanks for sharing her story.
RIP Jaimie.
Sincerely,Jan

Thank you for reading about my Jaimie. Her love for all remains strong as one by one friends and neighbors and complete strangers tell me how much her easy laughter and offers to help meant at difficult times in their lives. Hugs, Maggie

Hello Maggie, thanks so much for sharing some of your wonderful stories about your daughter Jaimie. I'm sorry for your loss. I worked with a Down's boy at the highschool for several years and it was the best experience I ever had. He loved unconditionally and was one of the most popular kids in school, with both the teachers and the student body. We still speak on the phone now and then. I pray that your memories of your wonderful daughter will bring comfort to you. The world is a lesser place without her.
God bless and keep you.
Tom

Thank you, Tom. The house seems too big, too quiet, too wrong without her although my sister and her husband are in my care since she was in the hospital and he is disabled, too. Soon I will sell and move to be with my son. Hugs, Maggie
Comment from Mary Vigasin
Thank you for introducing Jaimie to me. She was a remarkable woman who
never let a difficult task go unchallenged. It sounds like her heart was so big with love that God needed her with his angels.
I am so sorry for your loss and remember that someone that special will always be not only in your heart but remembered by all those she touched.
Best regards,
Mary

That seems to be true, as more and more tell me their sweet memories and occasionally, a funny one. She touched so very many. It was a shock to see the huge room at our church filled to overflowing with those who wanted to celebrate her life. Hugs, Maggie
