Good morning people! Prior to giving birth, everyday at least 1-3x's a day I would go on http://www.thebump.com/ & just get encouragement from different boards about being pregnant, high risk pregnancy, etc. It's a very good tool for encouragement & frienship. I hadn't gone on it since I had the babies, til last night and I saw a "preemies" category; so I stayed on for awhile last night reading some other experiences & then again this am. It's very encouraging, so I posted my story & will be a regular now on that board. This am, I was looking at past posts, just to see if there are any stories like my own, and I came across a post for ME & my babies from September 2007. I know she follows my blog & I just want to say "Thank you!!". It brought a tear to my eyes, to read people I don't even know sending thoughts & prayers to me & my family!! Thanks for letting everyone know, September!! I truly appreciate all the thoughts & prayers. People's kindness, that we don't even know, is so touching!! Thank you!
Yesterday, had a visit with my dear friend, Heather & lunch with Dalila. I needed a good 'girlfriend' day & was comforted by both visits & outings!! (I'm still not driving! :( my husband likes driving Miss Pattie!
And last night we had dinner at our dear friends, Peter & Paula's house. So nice not to cook, just brought dessert, chips & macaroni salad. They are soo great to us & really good friends. Definitely nice to have company!
On to Gracie's post!!
Thanks to September 2007; Heather & Dalila; Peter & Paula.. we love you guys! Some we don't even know!
Love,
pattie & gary, gracie & maxwell (forever!)
Pattie -- Please know I continue to think of and pray for all of you! I hesitated over posting your blog, but I knew you could use all the additional T&Ps of your fellow bumpies. (I also posted it on PAIF, as that was where I recognized you from!)
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a wonderful job, balancing it all, and I continue to be in awe of your strength!! Wishing you, Gary, and Gracie the very best -- knowing that Maxwell is looking down over you.
Much Love,
Julie (September2007)
