Since the memorial service I’ve been to Chicago, Michigan, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Louisville, Indianapolis and Philadelphia.
But I haven’t gone back to church since walking out of the doors on that sad day on March 1. And yes, we went to church nearly every Sunday before that.
Today marks one year since finding out the little baby in my belly was actually two little babies inside my belly. That day, that started out like any other, turned out to be one of the the greatest days of my life, knowing the gift we had been given. Twins. I still can not believe it.
Even though they are not with us today, I still believe those identical twin boys were among the four greatest gifts I have been given in my life. I thank God for them everyday, for the gift they are, the love they have shown us.
I know today is going to be really hard, but I’m also hoping that today we also remember not just the sadness of it all, but also how exciting those days, weeks, months were following December 14th, 2007. They were amazing.
I’ll start out by remembering it all while at church this morning. I’m scared, my heart is racing, I’m probably sweating where I normally don’t sweat, but that’s okay, I’ve got a strong team by my side.
But hey, if you’ve got a spare prayer or positive thought just lying around, feel free to send it in my direction. I know I could use it.
I’m not quite a day late and a dollar short, but every time I remember to fill out prayer cards to put in our prayer basket at church, you make the list. I hope your day was not as hard as you were expecting it to be.

although i just read this, i thought of and prayed for you when i woke this morning.
although i even feel guilty writing it, i’m going to: i was longing for just one more hour of sleep, but because we had extra kids here for the weekend, i had 6 kids under 6 years old to get ready for church. as i thought about my elusive one more hour of sleep, i instantly thought of you. what you wouldn’t give to lack some sleep to ready james and jake for church. so, after praying (for you AND my attitude), i happily and intentionally spent time readying each one of them.
hope the prayers from everyone helped your time this morning be just what you needed. and hope you know how very special you are to me!

You are most certainly in my prayers. I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t think about you and your family.

I am just now reading this but I am offering up prayers for you and your family anyway. May God help your heart to heal. God bless all of you.

I found your blog by accident and have been enjoying it for a few weeks. I just had to leave a comment and say that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that all was well on Sunday and I wish you peace and comfort.

Today (the 15th) marks 5 years for us since we had our first little boy when I was 18 weeks.
Thinking and praying for you right now.

had no internet time this weekend, but I saw on twitter that your day went way better than you thought. I am so glad. And my prayers will continue.

Yesterday (the 14th) was my birthday. I didn’t read your blog until today, but I still wanted to say something. I know you made it through the day just fine. Those have to be some pretty special angels since you found out about both of them on December 14th! And they were with you all day long. I’m still keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, I hope it went well.
