And I admire your strength for going to her baby shower and even holding babies. It took me over three years to hold a baby and to this day I cannot look at little girls who are Mary Esther's age. I haven't gone through what you have and my child's absence from my life was my choice when I gave her up for adoption... <br /><br />And Dennis and I did not have any children during his two deployments where he has missed two Chrismases, two anniversaries, three Thanksgivings, and three birthdays, plus all the other holidays. Not having children and having to postpone having a child for two years did make ANY holiday less difficult to bear.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710079349979758458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728610029063868611.post-24498248549827729742009-09-28T05:48:30.393-04:002009-09-28T05:48:30.393-04:00That was great that you went to the shower and sup...That was great that you went to the shower and supported your best friend. I haven't been to a baby shower yet. There were 2 I could've went to but I think I was working both weekends so I couldn't go. Not sure how I would've handled it. I'm sure you were thinking of Hudson a lot.

And I am with you on comments people make about not having kids and not being as hard... especially if they are directed at me, reminding me how "lucky" we are to have so much freedom since we don't have kids yet. I both cringe and fight back tears every time, and at this point have mustered the courage to tell people about Isaac when they say things like that. <br /><br />Still checking in on you guys often, remembering your sweet HUdson with you, and praying for you as you continue to navigate this difficult road.<br /><br />I know that the Lord is so honored by how you are walking this journey.Stacy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237198188394672456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728610029063868611.post-39147193324463459592009-09-26T17:21:25.057-04:002009-09-26T17:21:25.057-04:00Haven't been to a shower yet...
