I was telling a client who was apologizing for being overly emotional about her daughter's behavior problems that I understood completely.. just the other day I was driving and I pulled into a school parking lot and saw in my rear view mirror a father playfully chasing his toddler son down the side walk and burst into tears. I had this image of my husband chasing our future child, and it's more than I can bear since we are trying to get pregnant. Seeing your arms (I'm assuming that is you in the picture above) protectively wrapped around her brought a similar image to mind, and then I pictured the rest playing out of us like they did you and Bella... and while I know we would be heart broken, I also know that this life is about something so much more... and there is love out there still to come that will blow my mind. So, I can fear having children because i might lose them or I can take you as an example and bravely go out there with a smile on my face ready for whatever I get. I tell ya, honestly, most days I'd rather hide under the covers, but instead, I make myself get up and play. Thank you for always reminding me why it's worth making the hard choices- the payoff is so great we can't even imagine it.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710118552915270569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-51750622266629525082010-11-21T18:19:02.383-08:002010-11-21T18:19:02.383-08:00So great talking with you in Cleveland!

In the meditation he told us we could give her something. I gave her a gold butterfly necklace and now in my head when I picture her I always see her with the necklace on. <br /><br />Have a wonderful Sunday.<br /><br />Sending my love to all and sweet kisses to Ali.<br /><br />Denise WIDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13295097495507100702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-75999187545126339382010-11-21T08:13:50.023-08:002010-11-21T08:13:50.023-08:00Get some rest, Tim!
