Immediately, I opened your blog, Nicole, and was astonished at what I read and saw. Nicole, your father means so much to me and when I read his advise to you - it made me smile, and it made me cry. He is no typical Dad, that's for sure. As parents, we all have our stories to share about our children. You, especially, are so blessed by having that incredible man in your lives. I am so pleased to see how well Ruby is doing. As for you and John, I know there are so many special people in your lives... but having Brian Pitts to lean on must surely be a grand miracle. My love to you all, and an extra hug for Ruby, please.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964888674342575452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312302214943205505.post-51541888444467448832008-04-02T17:16:00.000-07:002008-04-02T17:16:00.000-07:00My mom told me about this the night it happened an...My mom told me about this the night it happened and I was so worried about little Ruby.

And I'm so amazed that she still likes dogs.

What a hard ordeal for all of you! Poor little Ruby girl. It is so amazing to be able to look back and see miracles. You are such an example too, not everyone can see those positive things in the midst of trauma. It must have been impossibly hard to see your little baby going through everything. How wonderful she is healing so well, and seems to be dealing well with any pain she may have. What a wonderful mommy you are to your sweet Ruby. I hope that everything continues to be miraculous.Jess and Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463569392721593173noreply@blogger.com
