As thankful as I am for all that I have and for as close as I feel to Drew's spirit, the resentment that our circumstances changed so drastically and tragically still haunts me. There are days I seem to be surrounded by awful parents, and I think about all of the amazing mothers I have met on this journey. It is so unfair. <br />Your description of how thankful you are for your time with Harper is so beautiful. She is so loved and always will be. <3 I hope yesterday was as gentle as possible. I am sending you big hugs and lots of support. <3Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601800346553703806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-85440030975165339342010-11-24T13:51:11.897-08:002010-11-24T13:51:11.897-08:00I think you summed up so much of what we are all f...I think you summed up so much of what we are all feeling. I have a lot I'm resentful for, but a lot to be thankful for too. I so wish we had our little babies here with us this holiday season. Thinking of you always and so wishing you were by my side on this new journey. <3Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785882007350289786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-1785097091862717282010-11-24T10:43:22.974-08:002010-11-24T10:43:22.974-08:00Thank you for sharing your feelings.

It's funny how parallel our journeys can be with other BLMs. I am thankful to have my BLM friends like you to realize I'm not alone and to support you in some small way that I can. I always think of Mikayla when I see little red headed girls too. I think I always will. She didn't have much hair when she was born, so we'll never know what color it would have been but we convinced ourselves that she would have been a redhead by the few strands we did see. <br /><br />Thinking of you on Harper's five month date and also for Thanksgiving. It is all so bittersweet.

It&#...Beautiful and familiar thoughts and words. <br /><br />It's all so much to hold - I find it especially hard to do so in our culture where we don't talk about holding the pain and the joy side by side. Your words remind of a conversation I had with my midwife in the few days/weeks after Acacia was born and died. It was something along the lines of I wouldn't change a thing because my life with Acacia was/is amazing, and of course I would never choose to know what trisomy 18 is and have my daughter die. It's these two seemingly opposing statements, yet they sit together in my life, hand in hand. I don't know if that makes sense or not?? :)<br /><br />Thinking of you as Thanksgiving Day marks Harper's 5 month angelversary. As you said on my blog, I can relate to the 25th being a poignant day.<br /><br />Much love!Big Love, Big Acceptance - or so I sayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647121831668711451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3461328476931561706.post-73162101882695600942010-11-24T09:17:46.008-08:002010-11-24T09:17:46.008-08:00Resentful and thankful: that is the perfect way to...Resentful and thankful: that is the perfect way to put it.
