My (blog) name is Duckling!
In just a few weeks, I will be turning 6 years old. My mom started this blog for me as a journal of my grief and healing. It will also be used to look back on good times, my life with Nene and an effort to keep some of my memories alive. If for some reason I don't grow up remembering these times with Nene, mommy finds comfort that I will at least be able to look back and see how very much I loved her.
You see...I just lost my Nene. She and I were very close and we shared a very unique and strong bond. When I was born, my Nene was already very sick. My family was also going through a very traumatic time and Nene found herself questioning why I would even be coming into the world during this time. Nene was there when I was born, she cut my cord and we moved in with Nene when I was just 3 weeks old. If anyone could have two mom's, Nene was my second Mom. I very quickly became "Nene's Sunshine". I was the best medicine she could ever have. We lived with Nene and Poppy for two years and long after we moved out, but our bond stayed just as strong. Nene quickly learned my purpose for being here, I was her sunshine...many will say, I am the reason we had her for the 6 years we "shouldn't" have. I gave my Nene a will to live...a reason to fight. We were blessed to have her for 6 1/2 "extra" years. She fought long and hard and she won her battle against her heart disease and mounds of other problems. She was taken away very suddenly and at a time when we least expected it...and that brings us here...
to my new journey.
