Calling to Mind


Today marks the day of the downhill slide. One year ago today, I was readying myself for a quick visit to the doctor, feeling ashamed that I was behaving immaturely and being far more worrisome than necessary. Little did I know it was the beginning of the end...

I'm so sad I can hardly breathe.

  3. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.
