I wish I could properly express to every single one of you what your comments and e-mails mean to me, but I’m not certain I could properly convey my gratitude, my love for all of you.
Whether you comment, e-mail or just visit. Thank you for caring so much for me, my family and James and Jake. Every communication that comes through to me from you feels like someone patting me on my back, telling me it’s going to be okay. And I believe you, it will be okay.
I don’t know what I did to deserve this blessing that is my blog, or the bigger blessing that is ALL of you, but I am so grateful for every ounce of it.
I do not take a single one of you, whether I have met you or not, for granted.
You have been my lifeline and for that, I thank you. I am in debt to you. I am in awe of you.
From the very depths of my heart and soul – I love you and I thank you. You are my friends, whether I have shared a cheeseburger with you or an e-mail, you are my friend.
If I could host a big ol’ blog party, you’d ALL be invited. I’d even sing for you.
or not.
But I probably would. Just so you are warned.
Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU.
I have a fun announcement coming tomorrow – which is what this blog has been missing lately – FUN. (I’m not pregnant and I’m not giving away a trip or ice cream or anything like that – it’s just a blog announcement. But that’s still fun. Right?)
See you then, my friend.
I had a really awful morning today, got lost in Valpo looking for a workshop I was going to and no one could give me good directions.
If I knew how to find your house, I would have come over and brought you some coffee. It would have made the waste of gas and being lost for over an hour and a half worth it.
Totally.
Can’t wait for tomorrow.

I’m glad that you found comfort in the comments from your support system. Mother’s Day is always difficult for me. It’s been close to four years since Allie passed, and it is still difficult. For me, and I would imagine it might be this way for you(though I do not pretend to know or understand your pain), it is a difficult reality for me. My family is incomplete and always will be. I wish I could tell you that it gets easier. But you and I know we would be lying to ourselves. But, you do find ways to cope, find comfort in others, and you move forward with the day. Never move on–big difference to me as to moving on or moving forward. We move forward with our lives because we have to. We never move ON from our children. Ever.
OK, I guess I’ve written enough for this entry. Just know that I am thinking of you.

My heart aches for you, it really does. I lost a baby too and only time heals those kind of wounds, but you never forget…
How wonderfully strong you are to share in your day to day experiences…and how lucky your little ones are to have you as a mother!
Hope you had a joyful mother’s day.
