I just blog the truth. My life is nuts and I get to the computer when I can. When I do get to writing, it often rambles on and on, switching from happy thoughts to frustrations to outpouring love to seething rage. Read with an open mind, please, and do know that I love comments!

I can sit at the computer and read other people's blogs for hours. Today, I stumbled upon one that has had me crying for the past 20 minutes.

Everytime I read something sad about someone losing a baby, I want to hug all of my boys and never let go. I am in awe of how strong these women are. I hope I never have to learn my own strength. I am a wreck when they get a boo-boo. The decision this woman had to make is the hardest thing I can even imagine. Each blog that mentions the son she lost is so heartfelt and I feel as though I'm right there with her. I want to be her friend. I want to be her sister. I want to just hold her hand and tell her stories of my boys and let her pretend my Jack is the one she lost. I know none of these things can help, but I am so affected by her story. I thought about e-mailing her, but what would I say? There are no words. I'm sure she has a strong family and friend network. I'm not anybody in the grand scheme of things...just another mom who feels too lucky sometimes because my 3 boys have been healthy since birth. I get scared of when I'll have to face my biggest nightmare and deal with something serious. I don't mind ignorance. I hope I never have to prove that I can hold on even in the wake of a storm.
So, to you, mom of Katie, Charlotte, and Jack, you are a hero in my eyes. If you ever need another friend, I would love to be that person.

I don't think there's anything wrong with emailing or leaving a comment to say I HEAR YOUR WORDS. Maybe she doesn't have support and would love to hear from someone?? You could also share this blog, it is a group blog written by mothers who have lost children:

The unfortunate dark side of the multiple world is that there are too many cases of babies being lost. It is a sad reality and it's one of the reasons I consider myself so very lucky to have Nate and Alex.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! It IS quite fun to be a voyeur into someone's life huh??
