You wouldn't ask an amputee that question, you would say, "How are you learning to cope without your arm?" And you would try and put a bandaid on a bleeding stump in the way some people try and come up with blase, roll-off-the-tongue comments to "make it go away."<BR/><BR/>I am glad you can feel this deep love between Thomas and you (as I am sure it is both ways!)<BR/><BR/>I also feel that I am on a parallel time track, one where I am not supposed to be, because somehow an error was made.<BR/><BR/>Lots of hugs and love to you and your Beloved.Rosepetalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198906406934870970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-26533385587195110062007-03-08T12:31:00.000-05:002007-03-08T12:31:00.000-05:00March 9th, tomorrow, is my son's due date.

This is how it's going to be for me from now on-- the 8th and the 9th. <BR/><BR/>The love, the love is overwhelming. It's huge, and, at least for now, it's painful. I realized a little bit ago that I love my children exactly the same, exactly the way a mother should-- the same. It's strange to love these two people the same-- one who I have watched grow for five years, and one I only got to hold after he was gone. It took me several weeks to realize that, and for now it hurts. It hurts because there is nothing I can do to show my son this love. I hope it gets better with time.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745262857388007041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-29514845771557714432007-03-08T11:55:00.000-05:002007-03-08T11:55:00.000-05:00Your evocative post makes me wonder, as I examine ...Your evocative post makes me wonder, as I examine my own heart, whether there is something very wrong with me. <BR/><BR/>Yes, the loss of my twins is wrenchingly painful. But I'm still the same as I was before. And the new life bears a remarkable resemblance to the old one.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-5213102509467676002007-03-08T09:28:00.000-05:002007-03-08T09:28:00.000-05:00I have watched you over the past year, carefully s...I have watched you over the past year, carefully stepping foot back out into the land of the living (where you dare to seek hope again). I think you are doing much more than ok. I think you are amazing...as a mom...a friend...a writer. Though I know you hate the reason, you are inspiring. <BR/><BR/>I hope that Thomas' second birthday brings you smiles as you remember the happiness that he brought to your life.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160908955133304449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-17433298704783948932007-03-07T21:47:00.000-05:002007-03-07T21:47:00.000-05:00I just wanted to send you ((hugs)) and prayers!!!I just wanted to send you ((hugs)) and prayers!!!nault's nookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02394753073940361237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9972140.post-70216807734814215862007-03-07T21:31:00.000-05:002007-03-07T21:31:00.000-05:00Sending you and Sandy so much love.Sending you and Sandy so much love.stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914558822703052067noreply@blogger.com
