It helped me and continues to help me to write to get out what seems impossible to get out of your head. It will help you as well. The things no one understands but you. A place also to keep your baby Graham living on and changing lives as he most definately already has. Losing a baby is the most devastating thing you are right, but it is also a test to the human spirit and through your pain how you teach others to deal with theirs a revolving circle of love. You can make it through this, you have to and everyday you will have to try harder as his memories grow more distant. You are a wonderful mother, I have read your blog and have heard wonderful things about you and your family. Those things are still there and they will be what gets you through this. So will your children. Thier can be good here even when it looks so dark and you feel so all alone, thier are more moms and families dealing with loss then we can fathom, we are not alone. God is carrying you, he is helping you through. Stay strong and take things a minute at a time, the most powerful lesson we have learned through our tragedy is this moment, the only one we are promised.<br />We love you and are here for you anytime.<br />AmberMy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885534286748747207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562980483638234444.post-23268396774031614582010-02-07T11:54:02.916-08:002010-02-07T11:54:02.916-08:00Oh Shelly.
