I don't have "al...Oh wow....hang in there. I don't have "all the answers" but I have been there, and I go "there" from time to time. My daughter will be one year old in eight days and it's crazy looking back over the past year, feeling really stuck and not progressing in some areas, and then also recognizing spots where I have grown and changed for the better. Yup I have that memory stick of photos, photos on my cel phone and the photos from the newborn photographer.....hard to believe that these will be the only things to hold onto (aside from the ones her parents share of course). It's still very hard to face not being a mother. It does get better though, life moves forward.

I had to say good-bye to my babies the day that the doctor told me that their hearts stopped beating just a day or two before that appointment. But, in my heart, I was already a mom. I loved them with every ounce of my being. I was so very sad that they had to go. How I wish they could have stayed. I pray that we both find the peace and love that we deserve.Laciehttp://funnylittlepollywogs.com/noreply@blogger.com
