I pray that your writing blesses and comforts you, as it does the rest of us. <br />The video is wonderful and I agree that Erin would think it worthy of our time – she would want us to laugh, even when we don’t feel like it. Your sharing insight into her planning detail makes me think of her as a kindred spirit - as I constantly receive grief for my planning. Everyday I am consciously doing at least one thing more than I think I can – in honor of her inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656703098638938996.post-85907983832643094862009-05-07T21:29:00.000-05:002009-05-07T21:29:00.000-05:00Well, Mrs. Dr. B., you continue to amaze. I am in ...Well, Mrs. Dr. B., you continue to amaze. I am in total agreement with your niece Loren who says Erin is her hero, as she is mine also. However, my hero list also includes you, Walter and Davis. What an inspiring family you are! You have all taught the rest of us how to live with amazing grace in the face of the unimaginable. I think of Erin all the time and always with a smile in my heart for the delightful angel that she is, and her school picture has been added to my billfold alongside Rusty and all the nieces and nephews. I am so grateful that you have continued to share with us. I am sure that it helps you. I just hope you have some idea of how much it means to the rest of us. As always, love and HUGS to all the Buengers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656703098638938996.post-68535829158053382822009-05-07T16:50:00.000-05:002009-05-07T16:50:00.000-05:00This video is GREAT!

And I love that you keep sharing things about her with us. She had so much depth and was so multi-faceted that I know you have much to share! I love her lists. She was quite the organizer :)<br /><br />Keep sharing and keep writing...<br /><br />Big hugs,<br /><br />Kimberly ReevesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-656703098638938996.post-81805486262590188782009-05-06T22:53:00.000-05:002009-05-06T22:53:00.000-05:00Vickie, Yes, Wow, what a post!

How poignant! especially Erin's detailed list of what to take, how to arrange the room etc. when she was so sick! the "Get Started", really got to me! Yes, its wonderful to walk the dogs to walk and talk about Erin! How wonderful that you and Walter have each other and the dogs! Alas,my friend just moved from D.C.( Arlington) to New York City; but I do have a friend's daughter, Amy, who lives in Annapolis; but who works in D.C. Maybe she can come with a bike for Davis! She always follows Sam's Team and his fellow bloggers! I'll try! So glad you are still Writing! You inspire me to write! That will be my verb!

Erin's Kindergarten, of course. That was before I had a digital camera. I am hoping there are some cooking ones in there that might be good for her cookbook. Yes, the little cook started early! Looking forward to spending some time with you after school is out whenever you can fit me in! Nicholas keeps Erin's picture on his desk, by the way. He likes looking at it and remembering her. I asked what he remembers the most and it's the times we would see each other at Gina's and she would come running full speed, Erin-style, over to our table giggling and saying, "Gina's!" He remembers her red hair, happy face and that she ALWAYS looked so cute. I remember when she was 4 and our first words to each other each time we met (which could be quite a few times EACH DAY in the hall) were a very loud "Gina's!" I don't think most people got our little private joke.We didn't care.
