Thought of Shannon when i saw this. Thought id post it here.

July Shannon's Gals meet up

I think im figuring out how to use this thing... I just wanted to say that i had an awesome time going with a few girls to the cemetery and then to the 'Shannon gal's" meet n greet dinner. It was so nice to meet everyone. Julee was such a sweetheart for being able to share some stories with us about Shannon's favorite things and funny things she did. Im so excited for the next dinner next weekend. I have a white flower that Nikki made in honor of Shannon and i think i wear it at least 3 times a week. If i feel kinda down or have a dr. appt, i wear it as it gives me comfort feeling like she is there telling me everything is ok,, just like she did when i would see her occasionally. It was the 26th and i was having a bad day as i had a loss and it was 7 yrs that day, I wore her flower. well, i was taking a notebook out of my desk and a reminder card for my 2011 appt flipped out and landed up with her name face up. I had no clue it was even in my desk. I took that as a sign that she was telling me it was going to be ok. I think she is still around and make me feel comforted when i wear her flower.  Thanks to Heather, i have this awesome photo of Shannon all dressed up looking so girlie. How beautiful she looked. I miss you Shannon.

So glad tomorrow is friday.. woohoo.. have a bunch of things planned for this weekend. Hope everyone stays cool and has a great weekend.

What a tough day!

I was reading through some blogs today and came across one that someone had recently written about Dr. Shannon Moorehead. I think i cried as much or maybe even more than the one that Anna dedicated to Shannon. Nikki's post was so touching.  I never got to share a pregnancy experience with Shannon due to my tumors and forced hysterectomy, but i had many visits with her in 10 years in regards to my health and surgery and following issues. I still cant believe she is gone. 39 yrs old is way too soon to go.

I had many vists with her and she also would come into the ultrasound room and see how many more "aliens" i had from my previous checkup so that we could determine a plan of action. She would always grin and laugh when i referred to them as "aliens" and then she started to call them the same since they had invaded my body.

On the day of my surgery i had asked Shannon as she was holding my hand comforting me, if i would be able to see a picture of what they looked like and she said they didnt take photo's, just biopsy them and send them to the lab for testing. so what do you know, one my 2 week visit, she has a suprise for me, other than getting me a "Suite" on the maternity floor w/ my own room, tv, shower, etc, but a picture of all 8 of my "aliens".  That was just the type of sweet, caring, down to earth person she was.

It was 8 yrs ago on June 1st as i had posted before, but i think of her daily and need to make an appt with another dr, but just have a hard time with the thought of having to see someone other than her. She was so caring and warm and funny too, but had that way of making you feel as ease.

I didnt end up getting any information in time to go to her service, so i think that is why im having a hard time getting past her unexpected death. no closure. no clue of what happened to her. Time will heal all wounds and i will get past this, but she will never be forgotten. She is now an angel looking down on all of us.  Rest in peace Dr. Moorehead.

Today i was just reading some things on the internet and came across another blog re: Dr. Shannon Moorehead. It was so touching. I dont think ive cried that hard since the one I read by Anna. I guess it really makes you thankful for the people that you do have in your life as you never know when they are going to be taken away from you.

It has been a hard few days since my hysterectomy she performed was 8 yrs ago on the 1st. I never got the pleasure of having her see me through a pregnancy or deliver a sweet baby. But i did get to enjoy the comfort in knowing that i had the best doctor that was around. She too would come into the room when I had ultrasounds done to see how many more "aliens" i had the next year. I saw Shannon many times throughout the year for other health issues even after my surgery, so it wasnt just a "once a year" visit with her.

Went to my friend's house for our "Monday night movie night" and for dessert we had these Skinny Cow mocha bars.. omg.. with coffee flavored ice cream. only 100 calories. You have to try them!
