When I read about you getting up early to walk, chasing pavement and being alive, I was in awe of your courage to launch forth like that without hesitation. If I feel able to do things, if I feel energy, I tend not to trust that; I cautiously tip-toe into it because of the crash at the end. I will try to be more like you and do ALL I can when I can.Wendywandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070899434981664008.post-68488827069513026722012-05-02T02:25:16.943-07:002012-05-02T02:25:16.943-07:00Your words of understanding are a balm to my soul,...Your words of understanding are a balm to my soul, Theresa.

Only those that have lived this reality really know the process of pain, joy, pain, grief, pain... that we go through. Grabbing on to every little ray of hope, every good day, being reminded by our bodies of the reality which is ours and quietly grieving once again. I think the duration of the grieving has shortened in my life, but I truly do not believe that the process ever really goes away. <br />I've been going through this process as of late because of my new (first) grand baby. Wanting to be the grandmother I have always wanted to be, pushing myself beyond what my body to handle in order to love this new little life as well as take care of my own daughter who is exhausted with new motherhood. I, too, wonder and weigh if the memories are worth the payoff. Tears of grief always seem to give way to the right choice...<br />joy. <br />I remember Sarah as well. I think of you, of myself, of all who walk this journey - wondering, weighing, loving. <br />Thank you for a lovely post,<br />TheresaTheresa (OneMomentOneLife.org)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070899434981664008.post-54772478291732753832012-04-29T21:54:14.470-07:002012-04-29T21:54:14.470-07:00You are so welcome, Lisa!You are so welcome, Lisa!Jenniferhttp://livelifeartfully.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070899434981664008.post-30866004575389490542012-04-29T21:53:53.246-07:002012-04-29T21:53:53.246-07:00Oh sweet friend...
