I miss Adrienne

Even when Adrienne was away at school, we talked every day. Once in awhile, I decided to leave her alone so she could study or whatever, and she'd always call me. We just liked to discuss things and didn't have too many taboo topics. We both love food and the same TV programs and movies and shows. Well mostly. I don't get the attraction to How I Met Your Mother and Adrienne doesn't like Law and Order. She definitely likes shopping more than I do. I talk to her here but it isn't the same since she can't talk to me. I just miss her so much.

Alison, I'm so sorry. I know she's fighting to get back to you, because I'm sure she misses you too. No doubt she can hear your voice and is fighting as hard as she can to get back to you. Hugs thoughts and prayers being directed your way.

My heart is breaking for you Alison. Take comfort in knowing Adrienne knows you are there and wants to make it up to you as soon as she's able. She misses you too and will be right by your side when this nitemare is over. I'm sending hugs and prayers and crying right along with you Alison.......Cindy, Chris's mom

This is just so hard Alison, my heart goes out to you. Keep talking to Adrienne even though she can't talk back, think about what she would say to you if she could. She would most likely be telling you right now how she has the best mom and that she is sorry she is giving you such a hard time. What do you think? You two really do have a very extra special mother/daughter relationship. Sending you huge hugs for strength. With much love, caring and admiration P

Oh, dear Alison...I just can't even begin to imagine. You are such a good mother, and such a good friend to Adrienne. I hope and pray that soon, very soon, you'll get to hear that sweet girl's voice again.

With a loving heart,

Lisa

I'm missing Adrienne's movie review posts on Facebook.....:0(
I really do feel for you, Alison - the two of you are incredibly close and the emotional toll of this hospital stay must be bigger than I can even begin to imagine. Keep talking to her as I bet that's her lifeline most days - let her know how very much she's loved across the world...........<3

Alison,
I know how that feels, but the good thing is that she can hear you and it must comfort her quite a bit.
Still hoping that soon you two can talk the night away - well, after you get a few nights of good rest that is.
Hang in there and don't give up hope - ever!
Thinking of you!
Hugs, Annie

It is unimaginable what you are going through right now. My heart breaks for you. I believe Adrienne hears everything you say to her and is comforted by your voice. I am so sorry she can not communicate back. We are praying and sending all our positive thoughts to you and Adrienne at this difficult time. Stay Strong Alison and Adrienne. Always in my thoughts!

Alison....I'm so sorry for the sadness you are feeling. I know how close you and Adrienne are and the bond that you have forged as mother and daughter and very good friends. When you two are together the bond is obvious. I'm sure she hears all you are saying to her and when she comes off the sedation she'll have lots to discuss with you.

Always in our thoughts and prayers.

((HUGS)) and lots of love,
Susan and Rich

Adrienne may not be able to speak right now, but there's no doubt in my mind that she hears you and your voice and your presence give her great comfort. You are her pillar of strength.

Love and prayers always,

Ann

I can only imagine what you are going through. The bond you have with Adrienne is very strong and I am sure she feels you by her side. You are such a wonderful mom, there is nothing stronger than the bond between mother & child especially when that child is sick. Your both in my prayers, stay strong and know that everyone is supporting you.

Alison,

I know where you are coming from. Sometimes we are blessed with a child who is close enough to be a kind of soulmate. They are our "person" that we would do anything for. I'm sure that if you could take this from her and live it yourself you would do it gladly in a heartbeart. Adrienne knows this and I'm sure she is fighting so hard to get back to you.

With much love and many prayers,
Alyson

Hi Alison,

Just reiterating what others here have already said; the conversations that you have with Adrienne right now, are not falling on deaf ears. Adrienne hears your every word and, I'd be willing to bet that she misses you, just as much.

This is a difficult time for both of you, in many ways, obviously but, please... take comfort in knowing (not second guessing but... KNOWING) that your words and the fact that you are there with her and for her, are what helps to give her the fuel she needs to fight this fight. You guys are each others Guardian Angels.

Keep on talking cuz, Adrienne's listening!

Lots of love to you, Adrienne and your family.

Always... Sandy

I understand. And as much as I am sure that Adrienne hears you, she worries for you and understands the loneliness you are feeling.
Hugs,

Awww. Even though she can't speak, she is still listening. She is still feeling your presence. I am sure that it gives her great comfort to know that you have stayed by her side all these weeks. I so wish she could speak and tell you that herself. I am so sorry.

A Mom
