We are life “warriors”, moms. I have ten grandchildren and I have been married 52 years. The journey is always exciting and some times its a roller coaster ride of joys and sorrows. But I do know this, God is faithful. He is my source for everything in my life. When life gets so painful I don’t want to walk another step, He helps me over the rough patches and makes my way bearable.
I don’t think anyone ever gets over the loss of a child. You will always have a place in your heart that aches for that baby. She is safe now, pain free, no more struggles for her, your real angel. Some day you will hold her again. Just thank God for the time she was here. Our children never really belong to us anyways. God just gives them to us to raise and love and help them grow. Every day we have them is a gift. So just love your boys, praise God for your life and treasure each and every moment that you have with them.
I enjoyed reading your story, just knowing that you love the Lord and that you have seen heart aches and pain but that you are using your faith to carry on! You go girl!!

I just today read your “about” and I am in tears thinking about you. I find strength in you and find myself wanting to be a better person because of you. I am coming up on the anniversary of when my sweet husband passed away (Aug 12th). Just 5 months later I lost my loving and wonderful father; just 7 weeks after that I lost my precious dear mother. 7 months later I wondered if I could simply get out of bed and try to go to work or be able to put one foot in front of the other. But life does go on and I’ve commented on your blog already that I agree, life is not perfect or what we planned but sometimes it surprises us. My son turned his life completely around in a good way, married his cute wife and they had my little grandson who is now 2. I lost 3 but gained 3. I love the Lord and all that His life means to me. He died for me and made it possible for me to be with all my family again someday. We don’t share the same religion but I think we both have a strong faith and desire to do the right things and be the best we can be in spite of challenges and heartache. Our stories are not the same nor are they unique. I know of many other women who have had such hard and difficult challenges but my story has made me more compassionate, more kind, ready to help more, and able to see things in a much more clearer and different light. Keep inspiring others and being such a good mom and wife. I love your family although it is only through your blog. My prayers are that you will have happiness and joy in your life always. Thank you my blogger friend for being you!!
