Even if my husband and I are not perfect, he is a good man, and the father to my boys. I need to remember how important he is to them.

I'll try to explain to you how I heard of your story without using last names. Daniel/Sara/Jonah. I'm Daniel's cousin. I grew up at the church that you attend/work at, but I know that we probably never crossed paths.<br /><br />But anyways, I have absolutely ached for you everyday since you lost Jeremy. You are never far from my thoughts, and you are ALWAYS in my prayers. <br /><br />I have to admit that I have read most of your posts just feeling sick for you, but tonight I sobbed. I got up from the computer and got a box of Kleenex and sat back down and sobbed. I have two children, 5&3. They are 16 months apart. I know that I don't "know" what it's like, but just trying to imagine it is a lot. <br /><br />I admire the fact that you keep on breathing. <br /><br />You are doing such wonderful things for your children. I know that you probably have times when you crawl up in a ball and don't want to get back up, but I just want to tell you how awesome you are for pulling yourself out of the darkness to make those precious babies day. You have a wonderful attitude. Your children will always know what love is. Their broken home will be different. They will have love, and lots of it.The Domestic Engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744375352409697439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166658235135692088.post-72997664091391414562011-01-29T20:47:13.839-05:002011-01-29T20:47:13.839-05:00i also do not know you but follow your blog...cryi...i also do not know you but follow your blog...crying as i read it each time because i can't imagine the loss you are experiencing and my tears come when i imagine having to go thru this...<br /><br />your writing amazes me...very real. there are few people who verbalize things so well...it will be good for your kids to read when they are older...<br /><br />praying for you even tho we are strangers...continue to pour out your heart to the Lord...even if it is in anger.

Although it's a broken family and you feel like he'll never know what it means to be whole - that is God's job, not ours. Not just for him, but for all of you. Look to our Father. He will heal you and make you whole again. One day. It won't be soon. I don't want to belittle your feelings at all, I think you know that. I just want to remind you that our hope is in God and HE CAN RESTORE A WHOLENESS TO THE MOST BROKEN PLACES. Nothing is impossible for Him.

It isn't fair, not at all. Your childrens conversation just about sent me over the edge. Children are AMAZING. Their sweetness, innocence and resiliance.<br /><br />I will tell you this. Though Carter won't know Jeremy in this world, I truly and completely believe that he has had all of this time to know him and be held by him and loved by him up there. Jeremy is helping prepare Carter for his time down here. And Carter will KNOW his Daddies spirit. That doesn't help ease the pain of the here and now, but you have to know that Jeremy is with him now.<br /><br />Did I already tell you that my husbands Dad died when he was 7 mos. old? It definitely affects his life. But, the best thing you could ever do for this sweet baby is to always remember and talk about his Dad. He's lucky you have this blog and pictures and stuff to show him.Allyson & Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899323132507414349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166658235135692088.post-66511528090449801442011-01-28T22:42:44.068-05:002011-01-28T22:42:44.068-05:00Your family is beautiful.
