This all has really made me think how I've respnded to others in the past and how I will respond in the future.<br /><br />I have a little pair of girly ballet socks that will forever be a reminder of my little one- Aaron and I both had a feeling she was a girl. I call her Lila.ShortyRobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009478394415135062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914359211249474987.post-27742215949221147682010-11-22T22:51:00.956-05:002010-11-22T22:51:00.956-05:00Hi, Robin.

So you could only imagine the rage and hurt that came from, "well, maybe if you back down on the coffee next time..." or "you are so busy with your work..."But some of the most comforting words came from the most unexpected places. <br /><br />I do have a memento box that I keep the ultrasound. We named him. I even tucked in an outfit we were given early in the pregnancy that I just couldn't imagine putting on another baby. And I bought a Christmas ornament with the year on it. Every time I put up the tree I take a few moments to wonder, to pray, to heal. The ache, from what I hear, never really goes away.<br /><br />Also, in the baby books for Izzie and Isaac, I list their brother as a sibling who is waiting for them in the kingdom of heaven. <br /><br />Yeah, I know some people would think this is wacky, but I don't answer to them. I answer to the Lord, and I want him to say, "Well done, mama. You loved all of the babies I gave you, and you loved them well, even if you couldn't hold all of them."<br /><br />My heart aches for you and Aaron. <br /><br />KristaKristahttp://teachingmommytopray.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914359211249474987.post-31119609030652812692010-11-15T23:44:42.143-05:002010-11-15T23:44:42.143-05:00Those are so hurtful, but you are right the good f...Those are so hurtful, but you are right the good far out weigh the bad.
