Praying for Nina: January 2011
http://prayingfornina.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Monday January 10, 2010. To help relieve some of the stress in my life, Larisa, Sharon and Crystal took it upon themselves to create a support schedule for me during the mornings. During the weeks we won't have anyone staying with us, the girls rotate daily who comes at 8am to hang out with Nina while I take Teddy to school. I cannot express the immense help and relief this is! Like clockwork, someone knocks on the sliding screen door at 8am! She was livid that Larisa had left!

Praying for Nina: November 2010
http://prayingfornina.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Sunday October 24, 2010. Our last morning at the Four Seasons. Today was an excellent day. The sun was shinning brilliant in Beverly Hills and Nina was more comfortable in her new surroundings. We started off the morning by going to the farmer's market, which Nina LOVED! We had a relaxing lunch at the Marbans. Nina especially loved Linda's dance routine! No I stand corrected, that is a MIRACLE and we are soooo very thankful! Linda just grabbed my hand and held it tightly!

Praying for Nina: Saudade
http://prayingfornina.blogspot.com/2011/03/saudade.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. The beauty around us, pristine and ethereal, made my pain deeper. It made my ache for Nina soar because I longed for her to be beside me, enjoying the beauty surrounding us :(. In Portuguese there is a word that I have known since childhood but whose meaning did not penetrate my soul until I lost Nina. The word is Saudade. There isn't a direct English translation but it means a deep and voluminous longing that is marked by great sadness. How I long for Nina! Sinto imenso o voss...

Thursday, March 24, 2011. This morning I met with Joanne Singer, one of the loveliest and tenderest people I know and a brilliant researcher and academic I have admired for well over a decade. As I was leaving her office, Joanne reminded me that thousands of people are praying for me and my family. As I walked down the stairs in the education department, the truth of her comment began to resonate with me. March 24 2011,S Pietro 7, 35 am. Di san pietro.htm.

Sunday, August 21, 2011. August 21, 2011. Six months without Nina. One year after the diagnosis that changed everything. It feels like yesterday, but then again.like a lifetime ago. To say that life has changed is an understatement. Life will never be the same. However, the pain of nursing and loving Nina to death has transformed me and my life in the deepest and most profound of ways. Gratitude, Compassion and Happiness. Is how Nina transformed her mama and for that I am eternally thankful! I cannot eve...

Thursday, February 23, 2012. Nina at preschool a few months before the diagnosis. Today is Nina's 7th birthday! My friend Tash sent me the above photo yesterday and it took my breath away! What an amazing gift to be reminded of the joy and happiness that radiated from Nina on the heels of the 1-year Anniversary of her going to Heaven. Today and here on out I will settle for her kisses from Heaven! This morning I looked up the "meaning" of Nina's name and this is what I found:. Nina was and IS.

Monday, August 30, 2010. Saturday, August 21st. I want to go to sleep" she cried as she tried to find a spot to lie her head down. I told her she could go back to sleep as soon as she ate the applesauce. She looked at me again, opened her mouth, swallowed, and then crashed back onto the bed! Eileen and I looked at each other and both released two huge sighs of relief! This was the little encouragement we needed. Who could have imagined laughter occurring in the ugliest place on earth! Fifth and final, I ...
