That's for sure. <br /><br />I hope Colby continues to get bigger and stronger every day. :-DLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912857890584533572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873947707463698488.post-78056644580117717732009-08-17T08:43:29.134-04:002009-08-17T08:43:29.134-04:00Colby is such a little sweetie.
There's an o...Colby is such a little sweetie. <br /><br />There's an old Chinese story about a farmer to whom all sorts of crap happens (son breaks his leg and can't work, fields flood, etc) but his reply is always "Who knows what's good or bad?" Even the worst possible outcome can lead to great good in the world. So who knows what great goodness Connor will work through you, your family, and Colby? <br /><br />You're amazing! Going back to work! I hope it's distracting and not too stressful and that the "when" of Colby's homecoming is sooner rather than later.Shinejilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353174053245279899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873947707463698488.post-29832813168329571092009-08-17T07:43:03.895-04:002009-08-17T07:43:03.895-04:00Our faith has gotten stronger since the children d...Our faith has gotten stronger since the children died and I think you hit the nail on the head. What was once a very abstract thought of heaven became concrete. We know that death is just another part of life and that they are now living a new life in a new way, still here in so many ways, but physically taken from us. It is that belief that helps dry the tears and that gets us through the days. And you are right... We are not the same people we were before... I dont think those people exist anymore.<br /><br />3 pounds! That is great news! Keep growing Colby!!!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873947707463698488.post-68134533746052805222009-08-16T22:34:32.974-04:002009-08-16T22:34:32.974-04:00Stacy V's sister in law here again. I've ...Stacy V's sister in law here again. I've had this story in my mind for you for a long time but I didn't want to share it until it was the right time--and it seems like it could be. <br /><br />I wish I could remember where the original story came from (and if I figure it out I'll definitely share) but I had a friend who lost one of her twin babes about 10 years ago. Another friend shared the most beautiful story about a set of twins who came to this world together. Just one was destined to stay. In the story the one that stayed couldn't make the journey alone--he needed his brother to be with him in utero, to be with him for his birth, to give him the courage and strength and ability to come into this life--he couldn't do it alone--his brother came only to hold his hand on the journey and then to go on with his destiny elsewhere...<br /><br />I'm sure I'm not doing the story justice but the concept is there and I thought it was such a beautiful way to think about it--it resonated with my mama friend and it resonated with me...maybe it does with you--and maybe it doesn't--take it or leave it as you may :0)<br /><br />Still thinking of you all,<br />JenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329029489562919509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873947707463698488.post-71411600474217381662009-08-16T19:36:34.537-04:002009-08-16T19:36:34.537-04:00Stace, Colby is so adorable!!
