A friend once told me, "don't miss the joy in the journey, even when the journey is hard." At first I thought he was an idiot but then God helped me see that He can bring me joy - even through my deepest pain and heartache - but I have to open my heart and allow it in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33986366.post-62763793176828873352009-03-19T10:23:00.000-04:002009-03-19T10:23:00.000-04:00Hi TeriI found your blog through Ter's blog. Just ...Hi Teri<BR/><BR/>I found your blog through Ter's blog. Just cruisin bloggyville :)<BR/><BR/>I lost my dad in Feb 2005 and my daughter in April 2005.<BR/><BR/>I was told I wouldn't be able to get pregnant... but then had a son in 1999 and we were SO thrilled. We tried for 3 years for Lilly, and lost her at 12 weeks due to ectopic pregnancy.<BR/><BR/>Just a little background :)<BR/><BR/>I also don't like the word "better". I don't feel like I'll EVER be better. It gets easier as time goes by. But it's never better.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your vulnerability... your words really hit home :)<BR/><BR/>God Bless you and yours!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857319202494418899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33986366.post-9539948234294996272009-03-18T16:44:00.000-04:002009-03-18T16:44:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing.

Some days I am really bitter, other days I guess I am better? I think I might have more bitters days though and I'm sure it will only get worse, yeah that doesn't sound helpful or hopeful, sorry.

It'll be awhile before I make my way back to "better". (Although, even though it's been 3.5 years since my daughter, I still dislike the word "better".... that, perhaps, is the wrong word. (even if I'm a better person, I still believe in my heart having her here would make me an even BETTER person. does that make sense?) <BR/><BR/>anyway I know this isn't really the point of your post, and perhaps my comment is counterproductive, but like I mentioned above, I'm probably not the right person to comment at this point in time. <BR/><BR/>Feel free to delete this comment! You know I am in support of you, I hope! :)Terhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427090425449970893noreply@blogger.com
