I tend to save your posts up so that I can comment thoughtfully, but that just leads to having a big stack of them and then I just put it off.<br /><br />I definitely understand about numbing from difficult feelings.

Thinking of you, Anna, and wishing you brighter days ahead. <br /><br />And we are big supporters of the MOD down here. This year will be my 18th! year walking, but of course, with new purpose. It does feel good to do something positive in Micah's name. I hope as it draws closer it will begin to help you feel lighter too, by doing positive in Toren's name.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614232173945249682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816776549535168620.post-36082453514136393402011-03-19T19:14:01.013-04:002011-03-19T19:14:01.013-04:00Parenthood - sometimes the responsibility of it co...Parenthood - sometimes the responsibility of it comes earlier.<br /><br />I am struck by the concept in your short statements. This could be positive too - we took it for Serenity might be dead, but why not live well in her honor? We are alive anyway. It's easier said than done, but it is a good touchstone.Ya Chunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816837461370619194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816776549535168620.post-8426876147540502512011-03-18T09:18:56.696-04:002011-03-18T09:18:56.696-04:00I don't think of Toren as being aborted either...I don't think of Toren as being aborted either Anna. You made a loving decision to spare your son from a pain he had no hope of surviving. :(<br /><br />I get so very mad when people talk about being pro-life and about how horrible late terminations/abortions are. If they'd spent any time with seriously disbled kids they might think differently.<br /><br />You're preparing to embark on creating a child with Snugglebunny. This decision alone is going to bring up many old hurts that you will have to work through. I guess what I am saying is don't worry too much about the up and downs... I think its perfectly understandable. xxSophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682329663202706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816776549535168620.post-49478221834484936562011-03-17T22:52:29.959-04:002011-03-17T22:52:29.959-04:00I agree with you, I see Baby H as a medical termin...I agree with you, I see Baby H as a medical termination, a loss not an abortion (I hate that word). It is so different.<br />I am sorry you are feeling down and you are right that nothing can change what happened to any of our babies. Some days I feel like I am drowning in that fact and other days I want to do better/be better in spite of what happened or to show baby H that I am ok and am carrying on. Please lean on us during these hard times.<br />sending lots of love to you.cdghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174907373129154516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816776549535168620.post-66825178767610885222011-03-17T21:20:29.240-04:002011-03-17T21:20:29.240-04:00Walking the line between the past and the future a...Walking the line between the past and the future and wondering where it all fits into place.
