Thanks Bug. I will do my best.

MKB23 Thank you for coming by and your support. I really appreciate it.

Ruby-Yes of course you are right, I do care and thats why I am here. But more and more I realize how much this place has helped ME. Thank you again for your support and encouragement :-)

SD-thank you for this:

My biggest challenge is to remain open and hopeful (but not with the hopeful puppy face, as T^2 says), without expectations. I'm much better at closing out the potential pain. That line is hard to find -- the balance where we take good care of ourselves, protect ourselves, while still remaining open to R.

I agree that this is one of our biggest challenges to overcome. I find the balance tricky because sometimes I teeter into too much indifference towards H in an attempt to protect myself.

NG-You are right...we do forget to look at the smallest of positive steps and changes. Its humbling I think when we do because it also forces us to appreciate moments and incidents that before, I know I would, completely overlook. It forces me to be more attentive to my children, and I have stopped taking things for granted.

I think a week without crying IS huge NG. and you should celebrate yourself for it. I am so in awe of you.

and yes, we ARE doing it.

Tumbling-Thank you :-) Trying to keep my head ahead of my heart. Its a huge 180 for me. And it challenges me. The blanket is the best place to be. Its the safest place for us right now. i believe that.

Why are you having trouble? I will come by and see your thread.


You are right Arsene---TIME is everything now. How are you?:-)

afa75- Thank you for your hug. One right back at you (((( )))) I am so proud to be sharing this blanket with you.
