Hopeful Harts: Hope
http://hopefulharts.blogspot.com/2015/03/hope.html
A glimpse into my hopeful heart. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. Nighttime has always been the hardest time of day during my grief journey. In the initial weeks after we lost Callie I remember doing everything I could think of to avoid going to bed. I knew that as soon as my eyes closed my mind would go into overdrive. Memories, thoughts and fears would paralyze me. At some point I would pass out and the cycle began the next day. Does the pain of losing someone ever get easier? Do the test results seem scary?

Hopeful Harts: April 2012

A glimpse into my hopeful heart. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Fresh Perspectives and New Eyes. Anyone who has wanted to buy a car understands this strange phenomenon:. You had only seen this car once or twice and you fell in love with it. You bought it and now everywhere you look you see it. It’s as if someone sent out a message to go buy this car and now everyone has it! But maybe those cars have been there all along and it is only now that you are aware. Fresh eyes see a fresh perspective. It is so rare.

Hopeful Harts: May 2012
http://hopefulharts.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
A glimpse into my hopeful heart. Monday, May 7, 2012. I remember this day, 4 years ago, very well. We were just about to leave for the hospital for a scheduled c-section to meet our son! Something was said about his lungs hadn't switched over to breathing room air and he would be in the NICU for a few hours. Hadn't we been through enough? Hadn't this baby been covered in prayer? I couldn't bear the thought. So as we begin to celebrate Corban's birthday, I experience a flood of emotions. I'm reminded ...

A glimpse into my hopeful heart. Saturday, June 28, 2014. Seven What would my daughter be like at age seven? Would she be missing her front teeth? Would she love gymnastics or maybe dance? Would she love pink, purple, unicorns and rainbows as much as her little sister? It's hard to imagine and yet I find myself longing to know. I wish my children would have known her as more than their sister in Heaven. I wish I could have seen them playing together and yes, even fighting together.

A glimpse into my hopeful heart. Tuesday, June 19, 2012. After losing Callie my friends asked if I was angry at God and how I was feeling. I admitted that I couldn't be angry at God. I wanted to be angry with someone- God, the doctor- anyone. But I couldn't. How could I be angry at the one thing that got me through her death? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

A glimpse into my hopeful heart. Monday, July 16, 2012. Muffins for everyone.even for Ellie! My daughter, Ellie, has been a mystery to me since the day she was born. Many of you know that she has struggled with many undiagnosed health issues. I will go into that more another time but to summarize, we are now on a gluten- free, casein- free diet. This has been a huge learning curve for me. But we are seeing a drastic change and that is my motivation to press on! I promise you won’t be disappointed. If you...
