All of the guilt and confusion which comes along when people wonder why they are/are not feeling a certain way when they "should" can make you question everything about who you are. I would find it more disturbing if you did not feel this tug of war within yourself. You have taken on the challenge to allow yourself to really feel and experience what you are feeling and acknowledge it. It takes a lot of courage to do that, and it allows you to truly be present in the experience. I will remember, admire, and learn from this post, always.

Some healing as you welcome this sweet little boy into your family. Some healing as you live and laugh together. I don't believe this healing will all take place today. But, I believe it will take place slowly. Maybe almost without notice sometimes. But, it will come. <br />What a beautiful day for a new beginning. <br />Ali can begin to sharpen her big sister skills and this Mommy and Daddy can take some more steps toward healing. <br /> <br /><br />CongratulationsCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135456666823026419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-85688350823600301672011-08-22T07:18:15.165-07:002011-08-22T07:18:15.165-07:00What a beautiful day and blessing it will be to yo...What a beautiful day and blessing it will be to you when Julian arrives. Bella will be right by your side and showing the love for all of you and baby Julian. I can just see her beautiful smile and caring eyes. You are all in our thoughts and prayers for a smooth day filled ith love and sunshine. Ang looks real good, I know you are all excited for Julian to arrive, but with mixed feelings about Bella. What a wonderful family Julian will be coming into, the love, the strength, caring and the faith. Welcome Julian! Can't wait to see the pics.

I believe Bella is holding Julian's hand telling him how loved he is and how much fun is in store for him with the three of you. Remember your post about the boat and people saying goodbye / hello at the same time. The moment you see Julian your fears will fade and the truly amazing parent you are will take over. God is good, he will have his hand on you throughout today.

I, too, think (thought) I had it all figured out with how to do it. And then I learn something new. I read something new. I meet someone new. One is answered and I know. Another is not and I know. And then I don't know anything. But, what I did not pay too much attention to before is OTHERS prayers for me. I focused so hard on what I should and should not feel, think or ask for in my conversations with God, that I overlooked the true power, love and beauty in others prayers for...well, others. <br />Our prayers are with you all tonight and tomorrow and every day after that.The Liconashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224099578506132814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-51282668758225682812011-08-22T00:33:01.696-07:002011-08-22T00:33:01.696-07:00Love you, sweet Bella.

Be there with your mommy and daddy tomorrow, and let them feel your love so that they may, in turn, love Julian just as fiercely as they did you, butterfly. Allow them them to feel sad, too, but take away their guilt in feeling such.<br /><br />I will be thinking of all of you tomorrow, and will hold you all in my heart as I move through my day (and probably obsessively check your blog and FB). Know that the grief of loss is just as powerful as the love that new life wrings from our souls: there is a very thin line between the intensity of the two, what some may consider, polar opposite emotions. So let yourself feel EVERYTHING to its fullest tomorrow - the joy AND the sorrow. <br /><br />Love you too Tim, Angie, Ali, you beautiful people, you.
