I talk about my life anyway because if, on the one hand,
hardly anything could be less important, on the other hand,
hardly anything could be more important.
My story is important not because it is mine, God knows,
but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are
you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours.
Maybe nothing is more important than that we keep track, you and I,
of these stories of who we are and where we have come from
and the people we have met along the way
because it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity,
as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known
to each of us most powerfully and personally.

I'm aching for you. And praying.
My heart is breaking. I am so so sorry. I'll be praying for you today and the next day.
I am so very Sorry, Amanda! I will continue to pray for you today! What a beautiful song, and how true!
You don't know me, and I've never been to your blog before, but I was drawn here today via a BlogHer link. I don't think it was a coincidence. You and Zachary are both remembered by God, today and every day. May His peace comfort you today, and add me to the list of those praying you through today and this week.
My heart is so heavy for you and as always I am praying for you, my dear friend.
Praying extra prayers for you during this time.
I am so, so sorry. I truly do hurt for you, and am praying for you and your sweet family.
I am so sorry Amanda. I remember that day well. He's not forgotten and neither is your family.
You are in my prayers. I pray that God will continue to heal your hearts and lives as you mourn.
I love you, Amanda. My heart breaks at the remembrance of your pain. Zachary is both loved & missed. He will never be forgotten.
Thinking of you now and always. I love you guys. I am praying for you always.
You are constantly in my thoughts today. My heart breaks for you, and my prayers are with you.
There are no words. I am crying for you and your family (and I am not normally a crying kind of gal). I hope that you and your family can find a measure of peace in the coming days.
Hard to believe it's already been a year. My heart aches for you.
I'm praying for you today, Amanda.
You probably don't really know who I am yet I feel like I know you well.
Last night, I watched your slide show and listened to the words of the song. I couldn't control my tears. After walking away from the computer, I still couldn't stop crying for you. I went into my childrens' rooms and watched them sleep as I cried hysterically over their beds. Sounds stupid - I know.
I kept thinking of you throughout the night and continued to lift you up in prayer.
Wow, you have touched so many by sharing your grief. I am starting to cry again so I better stop typing. You and your family are in my prayers.
My heart is heavy and my tears are many for you, your husband, and your Zachary. My thoughts and prayers are with you all...
How very brave of you to write about this and share it with the world. I miscarried 4 times and the grief is unimaginable to anyone who has not experienced such loss.
However, God has blessed us with one son. He will turn 3 this month and every day I cannot believe how lucky we are to finally have a child.
God Bless your family.

I'm thinking of you and Zachary and your family today, sending lovw your way.
