I am a 30 something year old mom of five precious boys and two sweet girls. Five of our children are here with us and two are in the arms of Jesus. Our sweet baby girl Hope was diagnosed with Dystrophic Epdermolysis Bullosa and our youngest son came to us through adoption, our youngest daughter through foster care, and I've recently been diagnosed with malignant melanoma the Lord has shown us just how Faithful He is. We will continue to Journey and follow Him where ever He leads. We feel very blessed that God chose us to be the parents of each of our kids, and we look forward to what He has in store for us in foster care!
i often stand in amazement at how close together we lost our sons...i like to think that asher (and isaac) were there waiting for blake and ethan...maybe even telling them what great friends we would be.
love you my sweet friend. thinking of you lots today.
I often wonder the same thing. Our Isaac would have been 3 today. Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers as you remember Asher today and everyday. I take comfort in knowing that we will see our boys again.
Hello. I'm still trying to figure out where exactly to find the story of each of your boys - but the pictures and tidbits I've read have touched my heart.
I'm so glad to meet your sweet family. Your children are all beautiful.
Kristy, It's late and I just was checking your blog. Your past two entries have just hit so hard...just thinking about what might have been and how hard you are trying to get through this every day and every moment...and how God just pulled you aside the other day with just a simple cardboard box, told you to "stop" and look...I've found myself thinking about a better place for that box, and a better box for that matter. There are so many awesome ways to bring Asher's memory into your beautiful living room...but I'm not, nor could I ever be, where you are emotionally and maybe you're just not ready to bring those memories out for everyone to view...maybe I should have written this privately...because it is late and my emotions are raw right now and maybe I'm not expressing this in the right way...am I making sense? Anyway, I'm wishing they were here for you guys too and I just wanted you to know. bec
I want to let you know how much it means to me that you added me to your prayer/blog list. I have been praying for you for so long that I feel as if I know you, but for you to add me for reasons that you don't even know is just a blessing and I aprreciate it. :)
Go ahead and mention my child, The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting me further. The depth of my pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making me cry. I'm already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing The tears that I try to hide. I'm hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending she didn't exist. I'd rather you mention my child, Knowing that she has been missed. You asked me how I was doing. I say "pretty good" or "fine". But healing is something ongoing I feel it will take a lifetime. ~ Elizabeth Dent ~
