I know that wasn't easy it never is but I am proud of you. <br />The quotes you used are so beautiful, thank you for sharing ((HUGS)).<br /><br />P.S Glad my post helped you.Lisettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486760107232191431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356774295771707830.post-78933782642748222642011-02-17T12:45:49.328-06:002011-02-17T12:45:49.328-06:00That Valentine is lovely. I think you're righ...That Valentine is lovely. I think you're right--we are so quick to forgive those who speak without thinking or who say ridiculous things (in an attempt to offer me some alleged comfort, regarding a mutual acquaintance who has a newborn: "I think she's been really lonely stuck at home with her baby" OMFG are you SERIOUS?). I was getting freaking birth announcements from the instructor of our childbirth class when other people in our class started having their babies. I made David send her an e-mail asking that we be removed from the list.<br /><br />Life has been shitty enough to us. I think we should definitely feel ok about being overly sensitive and inconsistent and mildly self-absorbed. I don't think we'll feel like this forever, but I think we are allowed to feel like this as long as we need to.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356774295771707830.post-27480789384634791152011-02-17T10:00:48.513-06:002011-02-17T10:00:48.513-06:00What a lovely and profound post.

You are so right, we do tend to just brush off hurtful comments and excuse those people with the old, "they just don't get it". Good for you, girl! <br /><br />I love the valentine, how thoughtful of your friend and that quote surely says it all. They will always live on within us. Lots of love to you, my friend. <3Rhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722893069322386523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356774295771707830.post-53744075895922295082011-02-17T06:31:23.704-06:002011-02-17T06:31:23.704-06:00Good for you for standing up for yourself!!!

First of all I am SO proud of you for standing up for yourself and writing that e-mail, I know it took you out of your comfort zone, but in a positive way and that is a wonderful step in the right direction. That is incredible you've raised so many journals for the drive and I love the stickers! Lastly, that valentine your friend made for you is incredible, what a beautiful touching gesture!

It didn't make any sense to me why you were offended until I realized that I was reading (subconsciously), "babies and death". How awful that my mind instantly goes there.

I started reading cause you deliveries with the same midwives I did, we live in the same town and know plenty of the same people. <br /> If you don't mind me saying my heart breaks for you repeatedly. I remember reading posts on Facebook that day and my heart sunk I knew it was you but wasn't sure until I read your blog. You are probably tired of being told how strong and brave you are...because what else can you be when faced with one of Gods most painful plans. But you really really are just that strong and brave. <br /> You have tje right to be open about your grief no matter what. Don't make excuses for yourself. <br /> He is a beautifuk boy.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359252471481932968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356774295771707830.post-7143116918725817252011-02-16T15:34:51.976-06:002011-02-16T15:34:51.976-06:00Good for you... if I wasn't pregnant and livin...Good for you... if I wasn't pregnant and living on a different continent, I would pop over to your place directly and mix us some celebratory cocktails....<br /><br />How comforting that we can all connect with each other via blogspot.

I have reread your post 3 times and it is asif you and I have the same mind. Thank you for being so open and thank you for sharing the truth.

Sometimes I think I put on such a front that people forget.. when I want to scream at the top of my lungs.. Also, so proud that you were able to stand up for yourself! I too need to start doing the same.. I went to a superbowl party, the little boy there the same age as my Savanna would be, reaching all the milestones my Savanna should be.. It was heart wrenching, but I put a smile on my face. The mom woul dmake comments like 'he's growing so fast' 'he does something new everyday' 'i can't wait to see what he's going to do next' She wasn't being spiteful, or trying to rub it in my face like you said, just clearly didn't think things all the way through.. but still, it hurt, and she knows.. so needless to say, standing up for myself is something I need to work on as well. Reading your words, it's not fair to subside my feelings at the expense of possibly 'offending' someone. Thank you! As for your projects.. LOVE THEM! You're Julius would be so proud of his legacy you are leaving imprinted on this world!

First off, what beautiful and true quotes! I love reading fellow BLMs blogs. I get such insight. Also KUDOS to you for standing up for yourself and replying to the email.
