No One is Replaceable. That includes YOU!

Thank you for all of your well wishes and support. I am so grateful to have you with me in good times and bad.

Here is an article I wrote for The Washington Post I thought you might like. No one is replaceable. Including YOU:

  5. Everything you write flows from your heart and mind. I love hearing your "voice" in your authorship. This was yet another uplifting, inspiring, wonderful piece. I think you are amazing. All my very best to you and your loved ones. I am so happy for you. You are being wrapped up in love and joy from Heaven. I just know it.

  6. Reading about your less than 1 percent chance of getting pregnant makes me think of Jack's life verse from the Book of Luke: "For with God, nothing will be impossible."

  7. Wonderful article. When one of my very close friends lost her daughter, the worst thing for me as a friend (aside from grieving the loss too) was thinking that this can't be fixed! I felt so helpless because I knew I couldn't say anything "to make it better". Knowing that they would never be the same again. It was overwhelming. xox

  11. Beautifully written...and, yes, you still have so much love to give. I actually had someone tell me "He's replacing!" when I told them I was pregnant. :-/ Again, people don't always know what to say; they just want to say something that'll make it all better. My youngest daughter was born 8 months after my oldest daughter died. My pregnancy was an absolute fog and obviously unlike all my others. There are times when I'd like a "do-over" in that regard. Today that baby is so unbelievably loved. She'll be 3 in a couple of weeks and we cannot imagine our lives without her. I wish you all the best as you welcome this new little one into your lives.
