Anyway, to those of you wondering... Yes, I'd love to write a book. I would love for every woman who finds herself in the "Devastating News" section of this site, to feel like they are NOT alone and they CAN get through this. I want more women to see that there ARE choices and carrying to term really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Sometimes the hardest experiences in life build the most character. I wouldn't wish the loss of a child on my worst enemy, but I can't say that I regret the person I've become through this experience. I wouldn't have known that I wanted a baby, to be a mommy, so much. I better understand the concept of death and what it means to lose someone you love more than life itself. I think I've always been a pretty tolerant person, understanding...but now I KNOW that I am :) You wouldn't believe some of the ridiculous things strangers/acquaintances said to me while I was pregnant. But instead of telling them what I really thought, I bit my tongue and just thanked the Lord that they have obviously never been in my shoes. I've grown so much as a person, and I am proud of who I've become but, of course, I just wish I didn't have to lose my son to get there. This is why I'm always saying that I have SO MUCH to be thankful for.
This blog may seem like a rambling jumbled mess, but bear with me! I'm watching Julie & Julia which inspired me to write another one. haha This movie also reminds me- SO many people have told me that I should write a book. I've always loved to write (my Sophomore English teacher can vouch for me!), but I never thought in a million years that I would have something to write ABOUT. Julie also wanted to be a writer (and started a novel), but never finished anything until she challenged herself to cook her way through Julia Child's cookbook in one year. She blogged about the entire experience, good and bad, then wrote a book....hence "Julie & Julia" was born!

You go girl! I have learned a lot about you too through all this. The most impressive is how strong and SMART you are! You pass soooo many people who are your same age in maturity, responsibility, sense of grace, and mostly strenght. I am impressed!
