God carried me through the day yesterday!! We went to church and I even made it through baby dedication. I did begin to cry when I saw them all lined up waiting to go up, but it wasn't sobbing. I tried to concentrate on Janie Beth being in heaven and the beauty of it and the wonderful things she is expecting. It helped me keep my focus. I also imagined her looking down at me. :) She is so special to me!
I held the molds of her hand and foot. I tried to remember what it felt like to have her hold me finger. I rubbed her foot and looked at her perfect little toes, and I realized that she had my feet. It made me smile, but it also gave a pang in my heart. She is the only one of my children so far to have my feet. :) I am blessed.
Here are her precious feet. Mine look just like them from the bottom, but bigger.
Her feet are beautiful. So sweet. I'm just about finished reading I will carry you. I read her blog when I was still pregnant and after gracie's diagnosis. It really helped me a lot too and still is. I did ok at church yesterday too until a new born baby directly behind me started crying. It almost stretched me beyond what I could handle but I kept it together.
ReplyDeleteLove that picture, Michelle :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I finished I Will Carry You a few weeks ago. I can safely say it is one of the best books I've ever read. She doesn't sugarcoat anything, yet it's still soo comforting. I hope you enjoy the rest of it. :)
also, I just wanted to note that Janie Beth was born on Olivia's due date :)
