I haven't been good at keeping in touch with emails and through blogging but I want you to know that i've been thinking about you, especially as we near Mother's day. I wish A and Liam were here so much.

I parent my now 17 year old totally different from how I probably would have parented him had Nathaniel lived. I would be a different person. I would be a different mom. <br /><br />I hope you continue to find real bliss in the sweet times with her, and fully appreciate her life and your own! <3 Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955054876521178314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529428189543496698.post-13812477099421757442013-03-31T10:25:15.739-07:002013-03-31T10:25:15.739-07:00It's a bit hard to reconcile sometimes, that i...It's a bit hard to reconcile sometimes, that in between space where you appreciate what you have with your living child but at the same time you are human and sometimes need a break or feel overwhelmed. <br />I liked the post on Living After Loss on this.

On the other hand I think I need to give myself a break if I can't feel grateful and patient every single moment.Florinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00505955042136951740noreply@blogger.com
