Impact

By Beth

Every single time someone leaves me a comment and shares their prayers with me, shares their words of encouragement with me or tells me I’m not alone, I feel that love. I not only feel love, but I feel so fortunate to have this outlet in which to express myself to people.

I wonder if you can fully grasp what it feel likes to have this support, this love, this group of people who take time from their day to read my blog and to leave their words and thoughts.  I could never properly express my gratitude, I don’t think.

And when someone tells me that they are a better mother, friend, person, stranger because of James and Jake?  It makes me so proud of them.

They really are amazing, aren’t they?

There are many things I will carry with me until the day I die, one of them being your stories of how you have been affected by our precious angel boys.   How incredibly beautiful and inspiring.

Thank you for reading, thank you for sharing with me.

    Beth,

    You are an amazing person and I just want to thank you for you. For you sharing with us the things that you are going through in life, for us to follow you through your journey and for each and every one of us to learn something each and every day from you and your story. We should all be thankful for the lives we live, but when something like this happen to someone, it makes us all and think. I think of James and Jake often and wish so bad that this would not have happen to you and your family or anyone at that matter. You, and those angels have touched my life more than you will ever know.

    Thank you Beth!!!!

    All my love…..

    I think you are an amazing person. What you have been brave enough to share with us is truly humbling.

    You’re new tag line is truly a testament of the way that you have chosen to navigate this path that you have been walking on.

    Thank you for sharing your story and the story of ALL of your children. Your open and honest thoughts on your journey are what keep me coming back to read more and the fact that I think you are so funny!

    I just watched Seal on Regis and Kelly and thought of you, he really can make a crappy day better with his voice!

    There have been a couple times inthe past few months that I have directed people to your blog, because of how open and honest you are about what you are going through. A friend recently lost a child, and in the card I sent, I put your link. She called and told me that just simply reading has helped her.

    Thank you
