There are few topics, that I can discuss that does not relate somehow to what I have gone through and am going through, and usually I don't want to talk about them anyway. I am a completely different person--we are, who are on this journey--and I can't experience things the same as I used to.<br />Thanks for sharing. Hope Emma feels better soon. I hate the kids getting sick.<br />xxxoooChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211125719068555386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683250206921099751.post-52154116837169801502009-10-13T19:27:01.776-07:002009-10-13T19:27:01.776-07:00It is so hard when something hits you like that wh...It is so hard when something hits you like that when you arent expecting it too.

I often find my voice cracking when I'm just reading stories to J, let alone in front of a class. You did so well to keep going.<br /><br />It is so hard to accept, that we will never see our children again. In this life anyhow. I think that part of me is like the mama fruitbat, I'll always be spying out other bird's nests. Just checking that she isn't there. I think I'll probably always still look for her, even though I know she is gone.<br /><br />I'm sad with you Tina, I'm so sorry that your Sophia and Ellie are not here with you.
