A Precious Gift--Never Forget Janessa & Hope Abigail

The mention of my daughter's name may bring tears to my eyes, but it never fails to bring music to my ears. If you really want to show me that you care, let me hear the beautiful music of her name. It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.

"If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died--you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died.

What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift."

Greetings From South Dakota!

We have finally made it to South Dakota today! It has been really fun traveling through Wyoming the past couple of days seeing different sights. I have mixed feelings about this vacation. It is fun being together, but, I can't stop thinking about how I should have a 15 month old and I should be 4 months pregnant now. I've had a hard time at the different hotels seeing the families with toddlers and babies. I have my 2 angel bears that I put in a small backpack and carry with me to all these sights and I do get them out and take pictures of them in front of these different places that I will share later when we get home on this blog, but, it isn't helping as much with my grief as I had hoped. In fact today I felt embarrassed because I got caught by total strangers as I was taking pictures of the bears and they made stupid comments about my bears. I hurridly shoved them back into my backpack and didn't take them out again.

Do those strangers know that those 2 bears are for my 2 angels that aren't here and that I'm not just some crazy person taking pictures of stuff animals? Do they know the anguish I feel when we take pictures of our family and our kids and realize the picture will never be complete? Do they know that I cry on my vacation because I have to use angel bears to represent my two babies that I would rather have by me instead? Do they know how my heart is breaking when I got here to our rental home and opened up the closet to put my luggage away and see there is a pack'n'play crib that I should have to use but shove further back in the closet instead? Do strangers know how hurtful their stupid comments are when they don't understand the whole picture?

I can't explain why I need to have those angel bears with me, but, I'm embarrassed now to have others see them. Sometime I really hate this new journey my life is on and how even a happy, joyful, vacation can be turned into a stressful and sad thing. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Hugs,

At times there appears to be no light at the tunnel's end-no dawn to break the night's darkness. . .We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. If you find yourself in such a situation, I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face.
