I just wanted to blog for a bit about Quincey... she is going to be 12 on Saturday. I can't believe that she will be in Young Women on Sunday. She is so pretty and smart and tall and thin. Quincey chose to live with her dad in 
Portland, Oregon. She goes to a middle school there and switches classes. I think by the sound of her phone calls that she is happy and doing very well and that helps me not to be so sad. It will be a hard day for me on Saturday thinking of the past 12 years and knowing that it's her birthday and I'm not with her. It is very hard to talk to her. I want to feel happy for her that she is happy, but I mostly, selfishly feel bad for me. I think that I am supposed to learn that I can still be a good, supportive mom even though I am 15 hours away. Happy Birthday Q. I love you

I cried this morning in my office as I read this. We miss Quincey too. We miss our sweet babysitter and our friend.
I must admit...having had my babies away from me...not by choice...it kills you inside. Many a day I hoped they would just go away for a day so I could re-group and CLEAN...but then when they are gone your heart aches and you spend a lot of time in the shower so no one will hear or see you cry!
Hang in there...we love you and HER!!!
I'm a little teary over this, I think I have been OK until now but I miss Quincey and can't believe she's turning 12 and we're not going to be with her on that day. This will be the first birthday we have missed and I'm so sad!! We love Quincey and YOU, somehow we'll all get through this! I'm going to take a shower now.
Happy Birthday Quinney! Wow I cannot believe that you are 12 already! I remember the day you were born. Russ and I raced to the hospital from Provo. I stuck my head in the door of the room just in time to here the doctor say, "She's here". It was such a fun night. Your mom was so excited that night. We are sad that you are so far away from us. We hope that you will be able to come and visit soon. Hope you like your new school and that you are enjoying Portland.
Hey Kac, I love Quincey but it's time for a new post on here. I know you have lots to tell about so get busy!! Plus, we'd like to hear from you every now and then on our blogs too. Blogging is an art form, so let your creativity shine!!
