Thoughts on Mothers Day
So this is mike, I don't think I ever post on here I usually leave that up to Emily. I felt such a strong desire to share some of what happened today and our feelings. We both knew this would be a hard day more so for emily, but I was the one who came out of the bathroom bawling this morning. I was just so overwhelmed with memories of having Lilly at home, and the day she finally passed away. So Em and I just kind of held each other and cried. She is such an amazing person, she is so strong! We went with our youth today to the developmental center to help, for those who have not done this before it is amazing! These people have such strong spirits! Sacrament meeting was so nice! After we got to talk to my brother in Brazil, and had a nice dinner with my family. Over all I feel like we were really blessed and watched over today to not have a very difficult time. Emily keeps saying how she has felt such an incredible presence around lately, and know if it wernt for each other we would have not made it through today, so for those who are struggling with the loss of a loved one on this day: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

I am glad you posted. I was just getting on to wish Emily a HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! I am sure that this day was very hard for you but in my opinion you are one of the greatest mom's around. You brought two beautiful Angels into the world. You loved your children enough to want what was best for them even though with it your heart would break everyday. And even though you have a broken heart you are still helping others to mend theirs. We love you and wish you a very Happy Mothers Day! We pray for you.

Em, I do wish you a happy day today. I cannot even begin to imagine how hard this day would be for you. I know that your little angels are with you always and especially today they were watching their precious momma. You truly are the most amazing person, and the most amazing mom. Know that I'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post. :) I'm so sorry for tough days like yesterday, and amazed by your strength to pull through it. Happy Mother's Day! I'm sure that prescence you're feeling is Ryker and Lilly. :)
ReplyDeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteAs I was thinking about you yesterday (as I often do) I strongly felt that Ryker and Lilly would want to be with you, their angel mother, on mother's day. I'm sure they were.
I can't imagine how difficult this day was for your family. I am so amazed at how strong you both are. I believe that Lily and Ryker were with you this Mother's Day....as your little guardian angels!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
You are in my prayers and I can't imagine how hard it is for you. You are wonderful people and I am so glad you shared your children and continue to share them with us.
ReplyDeleteI don't know exactly what happens to our love ones while we wait to meet them. But I do want to share a story about my friend. She had a darling daughter whom died at 18 months from her heart defect. My friend went on to get pregnant some time later. After the delivery something went wrong and my friend coded. She says she remembers feeling the presence of her daughter and her daughter telling her it was okay. I will never forget that story or the chills I got when I heard it.
I'm sure you have a strong pretense around you and may you be blessed. My thoughts and prayers with you.
