It doesn't make the pain any less. Just less overwhelming. Hearing you makes me think of the promise that God won't give us more than we can handle with him; however, he doesn't promise that he won't give us hard things to handle. Oh, sobbing, now...sure wish that I had a push-up right now...I think that Moo is onto something. Hugs back atcha, t<br /><br />BTW, did you hear about the East Coast earthquake? Thankfully, it wasn't damaging to us here in NC, but now, we are also bracing for Hurricane Irene. Fun times! Guess the rain can mask my tears.<br /><br />wv: lonest (i am "lonest" most right now and sobbing...not a good combination...maybe, that's why i am so emotional...hahaha...thank you for letting me share your tears)Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053245632289295765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848841850745935982.post-29492852212055785112011-08-23T20:57:59.408-05:002011-08-23T20:57:59.408-05:00ohhh, Tory, you're going to make me cry, you s...ohhh, Tory, you're going to make me cry, you sweet thing you....you are not stealing my tears at all...you're sharing them! Thank you...so sweet...I am actually going to go ahead and cry now. cuz I do all those same things.<br />I just really cannot grip that this has happened to me, to us. all of us. I sooo want to be blogging about that sweet little guy. it just seems unfair today. I ran errands by myself and I kept thinking "this is just wrong, I should be toting Jack with me, stopping to nurse now and then" and then I just got kinda mad. I want him here. so badly. When will this sink in? why? why God? what good purpose can this tragedy really serve? (I know all the answers to these questions, as much as the next person)<br />So, I do ok...I heal by talking about him, being sarcastic or jokey about life things but just under the surface, I'm ready to rip loose. and I do.<br />I've forgotten what it feels like to have him wiggling in my womb and hiccuping. I'm always ready to cry. I do.<br />thank you for crying with me, Tory. I love that you are so affected by this...makes me cry all the more. keep those eyeballs moistened, my dear. I love you...hugs from IndyLaurie and companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266550221653484734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848841850745935982.post-15254563025871805492011-08-23T20:18:21.858-05:002011-08-23T20:18:21.858-05:00Ok, so I cannot stop crying, but I cannot close yo...Ok, so I cannot stop crying, but I cannot close your window with the picture and the music! I know, you say, "what's wrong with her, and why is she stealing all of my tears...she's nuts". But, I really didn't think that this could happen. Then, I think what would Jack be doing right now and would it be bloggable...Oh, I am a basket case. Sorry to be so...you know, over the top.Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053245632289295765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848841850745935982.post-16398887054262087912011-08-23T20:11:19.310-05:002011-08-23T20:11:19.310-05:00Second PS: I was in Hallmark today looking at the...Second PS: I was in Hallmark today looking at the clearance merch, and what do you think that I saw? Baby scrapbooks, more specifically, baby boy scrapbooks...I was bending over, and I felt the need to drop to my knees and just weep. Then, I was at the store, Tuesday Morning, where they had these cute little baby Christmas socks and butterfly ornaments. Oh, I really don't know how you do it. I never knew that I could shed so many tears for a little boy that I never met, or for a family that I haven't seen but in pix. But, God keeps showing me a glimpse into your life, and just how strong you really are. You ROCK! It truly humbles me to see you handle this with such grace and peace.<br /><br />Oh, a push-up, that sounds good, but tell Moo that I think that a fudgesicle for breakfast is a better choice...I think that it may have some calcium. ;) And, if there are none in the freezer, tell her that hershey's syrup and sweetened condensed milk make for some good homemade pops in a pinch. Hahaha...I would even let her eat cake...after all, it's got eggs!Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053245632289295765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848841850745935982.post-55197678275475000432011-08-23T08:47:01.313-05:002011-08-23T08:47:01.313-05:00thanks, Kara...a beautiful picture you presented.....thanks, Kara...a beautiful picture you presented...it will change over time, like my healing, and my life. I love you, dear cousin.<br />Tory...that cake WAS out of this world good. not just pretty that is true. I will tell Moo that you have saved her some salsa. I bet that would taste good with the Push-Up that she is eating for breakfast today (picking my battles today). I just couldn't love you more...even though you are geographically far from me, I feel very close and loved by you! means so much to me. you too, Kara. happy Tuesday to two of my favorite gals!Laurie and companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266550221653484734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848841850745935982.post-72820658164601224892011-08-22T17:39:36.996-05:002011-08-22T17:39:36.996-05:00p.s. sbux is nothing in comparison with that beaut...p.s. sbux is nothing in comparison with that beautiful cake that you shared a picture of awhile ago. was that cake as heavenly as it looked?Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053245632289295765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848841850745935982.post-3098510473075703572011-08-22T08:40:31.712-05:002011-08-22T08:40:31.712-05:00Am loving the rhyme and the shout out. You are to...Am loving the rhyme and the shout out. You are totally awesome. You know that, right? Of course, I love the pix, and your garden is most awesome and creative. I am amazed at just how strong you are, and how you allow for each of us to be part of this. Saw many more JOY butterflies this weekend, and I laughed and cried. You know, your favorite...laughter through tears. How I would love to meet all of your offspring, but meeting Jack would have enabled me to meet one of your beautiful babies. Mom tells me that she has seen most of the kiddoes, and may have even seen Moo. Me? Haven't seen a one, but I feel like I would know them on the street if I ever saw them. ;) Hope that you are having a good August, cousin. Oh, and we had fresh salsa this weekend...still have some for Moo's breakfast.

I know it gets hard to have a finished picture in your head and not be able to immediately see it. But it needs to move slowly just like your healing will. I love you and I love that garden!!Smooches, Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14095488516229241068noreply@blogger.com
