It is ironic that the things that make home home can make you frustrated at times.

This brought tears to my eyes - especially the part about the grandfathers. I spent so much time at my grandparents' growing up - definitely good feelings of "home."

Neat post. I found this part especially interesting:
"Some days I long to go home to a time before work, kids, and the demands of life- and yet I remember how much in those times I longed for a life full of work, kids and life. Home…."

I'm at the point where it's getting fuzzy for me to remember home without my daughter. It's even harder to remember home without my husband. I thank God for them!!

I love how memories will surprise me- and I agree with Rachel- it is great to write them down. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You have a lovely blog!!!

I am with you on the forgetting things. It seems like since I had my daughter that I am always forgetting something.

It is so important to remember our loved ones, but I know as time passes it gets harder.

A great way to remember your grandfathers and the fun times you had with them is to write down thos memories. After my grandfather passed away recently I wrote a blog post about everything I remembered about him. That way as time goes on I can look back and remember things I might have forgotten.

Have a wonderful Memorial weekend.

Hello...
A miscarriage was something i hadn't even expected to see here. But you are right. those moments, following them, were the times (days/weeks/months) that i felt the most distant from everything/one.

The sorrow will last through the night. Praying your night ends soon and that the joy that does come with the morning steals over your heart. That our Peacemaker heals in His time and His fullness.

i love reading your blog..i can always count on you to be real :) thanks for sharing what is really going on in your life...although i have never experienced the loss of a baby, i have experienced loss. i know how hard things can be...i will be praying that as you grieve, you will fall into Christ, His word, and fellowship with other believers :)

2011-02-15T20:06:09.312-05:00

love it! sinner married to a sinner!! yes!! jack and i went through a class and read a book called "When Sinners say I Do"..great book! Same principle..and so Gospel true! Being married is SO HARD..seeing yourself as a wretched mess is SO HARD, yet SO GOOD...because then we see our need for Jesus..and we can spend our time praying and thinking on that and have no time leftover to critique our spouses..i love the water bottle example!! how true! I play the "i am a victim of this terrible marriage" card lots..and it is really more like, "i am a victim to myself and God is here to save me from myself."

thanks for being so honest and for writing your heart. love reading!

Nikkie- I was my joy and pleasure to write a post supporting you guys and all the other families out there!
Amy- I totally agree! Regardless of the reasons why, no mother should have to visit their newborn in the NICU!!!

I can honestly say that, regardless of the reason, a baby ending up in the NICU will be the hardest thing a mother faces.

I am here to introduce my self from the incourage link. I am Judy and I am from Florence, AL. We moved here about 7 years ago from Athens, Georgia so it was nice to see you were from Georgia. I started my blog this spring and am slowly trying to find my voice. It sounds like you are a busy mom. It is so important to be there for your children and it looks like you are good at that. Our son is a senior in high school this year, so we are in the phase of contemplating our fast approaching empty nest. Enjoy your children while they are little. Time absolutely flies.

Sara- You can make it out of a pillowcase, but I made this one out of fabric. I have seen some really cute ones made both ways!

2010-07-09T00:35:16.171-04:00

So cute! And great job! I see these all the time at craft shows and market days and think I'll go home and try to make one! Never have, but I'm feeling inspired again (and my niece sure would look cute in one!) :)
