While I must say, the road is getting a little easier with Lillian, there are still so many things that grieve my heart from time to time. I'm there with you, friend, you are not alone.

I often do well with things too, but sometimes it just catches up to me. <br /><br />We just came back from vacation with my siblings and all of their kids. Those times are such wonderful times and yet such heart wrenching times. I watch my nieces and nephews especially the ones close to Isabelle's age and I can't help but hurt for not only her, but for myself. And even though I would never trade the time that I do have with her, I can't help but wish for so much more and different for her and our family.<br /><br />Hang in there. Live for today. Gavin is such a gift and even though he can't do what you dreamed and wished he has already blessed you and your family so much.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435227976101516787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-85104828943784670692010-08-13T02:17:37.646-04:002010-08-13T02:17:37.646-04:00Rather cool site you've got here.

Going Home will be so wonderful!! He has promised us so much more than the drudgery and pain of our life here on earth, and what a awesome thing to think about!<br /><br />I am sorry the Summer has slipped by you. Us too. And I'm sorry Gavin gets cut out of pictures. Just not right.<br /><br />Hugs and love to you.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061378391288892565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-40541637283331505972010-08-11T17:37:58.094-04:002010-08-11T17:37:58.094-04:00I don't like to send my kids to school either....I don't like to send my kids to school either.

I wish I could talk to the person who took that photo, so they know what an injustice was committed in innocently doing that. SIGH. <br /><br />I can imagine every day is just a little cloudy for you - even the super sunny, fun ones. I wish like crazy that I could do something to change this! Instead, I will only say what I always say: You do an amazing job of seeing the bright side of all of this, and the older boys are MUCH MORE AMAZING because of the life they are a part of! Some day, those three will become men who spread compassion and understanding everywhere they go...and it will be because of Gavin, you and Joel who taught them to do just that. What a difference you are making!! <br /><br />I love you all so much...and am so, so proud to call you my family. Chin up, sweetie. You - and Gavin - are such an inspiration!

Gavin has a very sweet smile!<br /><br />Isaac can't sit up either and it's hard to not feel bad for him, but then I see how content he is just rolling around on the floor. often he has to stay home when we go and do fun things because of his health. It's so hard to not feel overloaded and guilty because you just want what's best for them.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538192615781547765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-78116935711757355622010-08-11T13:14:59.249-04:002010-08-11T13:14:59.249-04:00Okay, I don't know who took that last photo, b...Okay, I don't know who took that last photo, but WHAT!! Who would just cut him off like that? It made me sad. :(<br /><br />Emily can sit up, and look around, and try to interact. But she doesn't walk or talk or try to touch things, or or or or or. Most of our pictures look like yours. Either she is just off to the side like that, or she's not in it. We get lots of pictures of her, but not involved with activities like the rest of us.<br /><br />It's a hard knock life ... but it's one we wouldn't trade for the world!ANewKindOfPerfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978293330074662766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892567951346285110.post-43055539375306789682010-08-11T11:24:42.039-04:002010-08-11T11:24:42.039-04:00I for one ,truly understand that sadness.That pull...I for one ,truly understand that sadness.That pull and desire to find the balance.In fact,I just blogged a bit about that last night.It seems to be a common thread in our lives.I think especially as our little ones,our amazing special little ones,get older and bigger and require more than when they were babies,we find ourselves wondering and projecting a wishing for things that cannot be.<br /><br />I really try to not project too far in the future.Seems if I do it can become too overwhelming and casts a shadow on the beauty of today.<br /><br />We all will get through this together.We will pray each other through our sad moments.<br /><br />Love from Miss Zoey and I.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209967185741239050noreply@blogger.com
