Lakshmi ws taken from my arms on Friday night (January 18th 2008). She has been with my X since then, but I will get her back tonight. I was so sad to see this happen. Yes, I will fight the good fight, and don't want to get into that here, but I haven't slept a wink, so thought about sharing some things here from her toddler years. I have looked at all her photos, from when she first came to me at age 2 1/2 MONTHS, to just a few days ago, and you know what? I know this child with all my heart, and miss her more every second she is not with me.
