I guess that's one of the reasons some of us are always writing about it.Travenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160810997837674165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487444177236422658.post-8364310063347641622010-03-09T17:23:19.641-08:002010-03-09T17:23:19.641-08:00Thanks for the kind wishes guys!

I was just venting, sharing how even though things bad always happen around us, there are good things to remember too;)<br /><br /> Tara- I understand what you're saying, you were the mom, looking at it from a completely different point of view!<br /><br />L. Diane, I can't imagine how it will be when we are in our 70's and 80's, there will be even more losses than there is now, that can't be easy!Jessica L.

But, looking back, I don't feel any sadness, don't really remember it at all.

Things can get so overwhelming at times that it's hard to see through the sorrow. <br /><br />From my perspective (my twins were 2mths preemie - my son had tubes everywhere) I wondered what made you sad about those photos. I'm thrilled to look back at my photos and remember just how far my son (and daughter, of course - though she was pretty stable) have come in 8 years. So glad you were able to eventually see the beauty in that, too :) It's an amazing thing.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008153523366719973noreply@blogger.com
