I also love the idea of having balloons and ice cream sundaes to celebrate the life of your little girl. <BR/><BR/>Btw, your scrapbooking rocks!

I told you before, when I emailed you that long rambly email, It's made such a difference in my life, reading your stories, knowing the feelings I have I am not alone. I understand sometimes wondering what that first day would be like or whatnot. I remember when Tyler had been dead longer than alive, that was a moment for me, and getting past the fact that I never saw Hunters eyes open ate at me for years. It's all so hard to get over, but you come through so strong in the end...<BR/>Anyway, I'm rambling again, thank you for being an inspiration!!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671812996435054849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-56222217668471388412007-02-09T00:40:00.000-05:002007-02-09T00:40:00.000-05:00You are amazing.

I wanted to share with you that along with Adrienne, you have inspired me in many ways with the recent loss of my daughter, Emma. I've been drawn to checking both of your blogs periodically. I read hers mostly to hear that glorious voice of God that pours out through her on a daily basis and yours, while you are great at giving props to God as well, I enjoy more for your sense of humor!<BR/>Everyone grieves differently, but everything you said in your most recent post about how strange it is to find humor in grief reminded me a little of us as well.<BR/>It's a work in progress, but thanks to you and Adrienne, I've found a home online to share Emma's beautiful face and story with the world.<BR/>Thanks for being an inspiration!<BR/>Julie<BR/>www.emmakatespage.blogspot.comJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650665119207786191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-69345054262379118732007-02-08T17:59:00.000-05:002007-02-08T17:59:00.000-05:00Jody,WOW, thanks for answering my questions.

Your perspective on life refreshes me. Your faith in God challenges me. And the relationship you have with your husband and kids just makes me smile. Tragic events so often rip people apart...your strength and perseverance inspire me. There is going to be a party in heaven when you and Teagan are united again...I can just feel it. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for being so open and honest in your blog posts...they really open my eyes everyday, and so often just give me joy. You are an amazing person!

I am doing the bible study called "Frazzled Female" by Cindi Wood. I am on the 2nd week and it just so happens to be about having a positive attitude. The memory verse is Proverbs 16:24 that says "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the sould an dhealing to the bones." The study says that the more time we spend with God (through bible study, prayer & worship) the more positive we will become. It also says that you can't think negatively and expect to act positively. God's word tells us to rejoice in ALL things and that includes our day to day activities. We can draw on the awesome power of God to help us have a positive attitude even when we don't feel like being positive. All we have to do is believe in Him. Anyway, I think I have rambled enough. It is a really good study and doesn't take much time to do. <BR/>God Bless you and your family!!!<BR/>Kim from KYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-8585441152651199552007-02-07T22:43:00.000-05:002007-02-07T22:43:00.000-05:00Jody, you are absolutely right.

I always like to see it half full!<BR/><BR/>I am sending you some warm wishes to help defrost the outside for ya!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336291278510669443noreply@blogger.com
