My JUST TURNED TWO year old is already in 4T and 5T. He's a man child. That time dude is cruel when he makes babyhood fly by like that. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy the rest of your trip, the cold is waiting for you back here. It was in the 30's this week in FL. FL!

Because your writing is beautiful, but you touch on themes that break my heart. Of course I am always sucked in by the unbelievably evocative writing and I part my fingers to be able to read more.<BR/><BR/>I thought of this post when I finished reading a novel recently and saw a quote from a review on the back--"it hits you in the heart at close range". That's how I feel about this post and about your blog. I have no higher compliment to give and I'm so happy that we're blog friends.Marinkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16489592695993949578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337254678704520655.post-49812414823177646592009-01-23T15:19:00.000-08:002009-01-23T15:19:00.000-08:00Your are being featured on Five Star Friday!<BR/>http://www.fivestarfriday.com/2009/01/five-star-friday-edition-38.htmlSchmutziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03023867307505601913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337254678704520655.post-72992466606122612332009-01-23T12:57:00.000-08:002009-01-23T12:57:00.000-08:00Ultimately, it is so much bigger than we are. It is so much more knowing and patient. Here we are in all our defiance, screaming at time to "STOP!" or "HURRY UP!" <BR/><BR/>And I think time is amused by us, but also loving, because he knows that somewhere in our souls we're supposed to think we can make even the tiniest dent in him. He knows so much better. We'll never fully learn just how futile are our efforts.<BR/><BR/>You are spectacular.For Myselfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12130573896278623660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337254678704520655.post-15292727499537783962009-01-23T11:33:00.000-08:002009-01-23T11:33:00.000-08:00Thank you.

I could just cry, right here at my desk in the middle of the afternoon. <BR/><BR/>I sometimes wonder, when I think of my lost babies, what I would change if I could. Then I wonder how that would affect the babies I have now. Then I wonder if I would still choose to change things. And I can't say. I can't say for sure that I woudldn't.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09513121601886576274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337254678704520655.post-43099505013324408322009-01-22T09:20:00.000-08:002009-01-22T09:20:00.000-08:00I can only say "beautiful"<BR/>you have such a way with words that no comment could ever do them justice ;)Kmommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06331299132081697023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337254678704520655.post-54453906253678077222009-01-22T08:54:00.000-08:002009-01-22T08:54:00.000-08:00You must submit this one.
