I'm from Roseville Church of Christ (I now live in CA) and started reading your blog shortly after I heard about your tragedy. I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine going through that, as I'm sure no one can until it happens. I just wanted to let you know a) how inspiring you and your blog are, and b) what a gifted writer you are. The love that you and Jeremy had for each other comes through your words so strongly, and you express yourself so well. I know you've said you don't feel like you're as strong as people think you are, but it's evident in reading your blog that you are stronger than you know. Even though I don't know you, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much for sharing.Emily Cadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856475592436988646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166658235135692088.post-66494509485516288212011-04-09T15:18:53.846-04:002011-04-09T15:18:53.846-04:00I cant even begin to imagine how busy your life is...I cant even begin to imagine how busy your life is, especially caring for baby Carter...but please Vee, dont stop writing!
