I still struggle to get through every day without them.. I too created a website for them www.taiteandseth.webs.com<br /><br />Your story made me cry.. The pictures of your bubs are beautiful..

I've read about other babyloss mamas who have been in situations, and it always amazes and comforts me. It makes me so, so sad.

I have realized that I am not alone. I feel so alone, but there are many people out there have walked some of the same footsteps as we have. Much to my thinking everyone does not live a perfect life and mine is the only one in shambles. <br />I admire you for going back to the same school. Before I had Kasey we decided I would work for my parents so I could raise Kasey and not someone else, I couldn't imagine going back to work at the same school...I guess that's the part of me that is running away-not wanting to have to deal with people (teachers,parents) talking everyday. Having pitty upon me. I am sure it would be different, but I am not willing to try. I admire you.Christmas with Kaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046209441729981789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10101258511307320.post-12418182143249551582009-09-04T03:03:40.859-05:002009-09-04T03:03:40.859-05:00I'm so glad that the first few days back at sc...I'm so glad that the first few days back at school have been 'good.'I can't imagine how you cope with trying to hold the names of 180 students in your mind, let alone anything else about them. Like their ability to speak French. Teachers amaze me!<br /><br />I know that I say it often and it is my blog header but I think I will always, always be waiting for my daughter to come back. Because I just can't believe that she won't. Strange really.<br /><br />I'm glad that the mother you met said something about Sophie and Aiden. I'm so sorry to hear that she lost one of her twins too. We are everywhere, I wish we weren't. xoCatherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10101258511307320.post-87714861606511011642009-09-04T00:43:35.133-05:002009-09-04T00:43:35.133-05:00I really understand this post.

That on top of my situation with my admin. really makes me angry at times. <br /><br />I cried reading that the mom reched out to you. We had back to school night tonight too. I was talking to a previous parent afterwards and we cried together about my loss. It is so hard for people to say things and I really appreciate it when they do. xxTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149337445828424583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10101258511307320.post-10034957378514808412009-09-03T23:17:45.344-05:002009-09-03T23:17:45.344-05:00I wonder if we will ever get used to these angels ...I wonder if we will ever get used to these angels among us, the other babyloss mama's who walk this earth and who sometimes surprise us like this, just to remind us we're ok and we're not alone.<br />Love to you xxbirhttp://www.allthelittleponies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10101258511307320.post-57954333170712584172009-09-03T22:52:44.709-05:002009-09-03T22:52:44.709-05:00It is amazing how on the outside we can be the exa...It is amazing how on the outside we can be the exact same as we were before we had our angel babies, but on the inside we are completely different people.

I remember hearing about a baby loss before this and though I was sadened, I was never forced to really think about it and really empathize like I am now. We ARE forced. We can't NOT think about it this way. No I go back and think about that baby loss I barely even remembered hearing about and I think about her and wonder how she is doing, how her family is doing. i think it's wonderful she reached out to you. Because no matter how much people try to console, only if you've been through it, can you "reach" that person. Even if it is just a "look."

Today, I worked in kindergarten and thought about how I'd never get to teach Ella how to write the alphabet or never see her play at the water table. How sweet of that mother to acknowledge your loss and to share her own story with you.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894396436704042272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10101258511307320.post-14398721576562670762009-09-03T19:13:40.258-05:002009-09-03T19:13:40.258-05:00A woman called from our church last night (to appo...A woman called from our church last night (to appologize for the other phone call we had - I think you read it on my blog), anyways...she said she knew what I was going through as she had lost a baby shortly after birth as well. It stopped me in my tracks. This 70-ish year old woman, her voice still cracked as she briefly spoke about this baby she lost a long time ago. It was sweet, yet sad. She has never forgotten about her baby (not that you think someone would), she still talks about her baby, she still remembers her baby, she still knows what the pain was like and she still knows the pain she received from others with their words of "support". Like you said, there are so many out there...yet when you are going through it, you feel so alone. You feel like no one knows your pain...then out of the blue you are shocked, but not in a bad way. I still have friends who say the wrong things or worse, nothing at all anymore. It just makes me more grateful for this community of us momma's who have lost our babies who can forge together in the good times and the bad. And it definitely helps me appreciate the random strangers who reach out with their experiences. I definitely didn't feel alone last night speaking with that woman. I hope you didn't either, you aren't alone and you never will be alone in this journey.<br /><br />xo KristyKristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134970929000997104noreply@blogger.com
