I am so glad you decided to keep writing. I went back into your archives and read about the months after you lost Jolene... I feel your anger and your sadness. We lost our fourth child-Cullen- on September 11th. It was just around the time when you lost your son. I hate that this happens. That babies die and parents lose pieces of their hearts.
ReplyDeleteI love that your list has so many beautiful things on it. I am not there yet, but I appreciate the words of those who are walking a bit ahead of me.
Love and grace- Leslie
