I have nothing to say...<BR/><BR/>I wrote a journal when I was pregnant with my daughter... but it stops short just a couple days before she died.... It took me a long time to look at it again... I recently looked at it and it made me cry so hard... I can't bear to read it...<BR/><BR/>I think it is wonderful that you are able to write out your feelings... and look back at it without regret for writing it out.Terhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427090425449970893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5279838578524410564.post-74362571790407006272008-09-05T07:35:00.000-08:002008-09-05T07:35:00.000-08:00Jenn, I am still wiping tears from my face.

You are a most generous and giving person to be able to share such personal grief AND triumph with us. You aren't in the 'dark' place anymore. Your posts always shine with your light through them.

A year will go by and I'll pick back up only to quit again. I need to do better. <BR/><BR/>My blog is a good general stand in though, I was rereading entries from last year to refresh my memory on what I used to put in Hannah's lunches and was laughing at pictures of how little Mr. Murf puppy used to be.crystal wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401611333319214822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5279838578524410564.post-60228603576606693672008-09-04T17:58:00.000-08:002008-09-04T17:58:00.000-08:00Oh gosh Jenn, I am in tears reading your post.

You have totally inspired me to keep a journal - I guess I have used scrapping to some extent as my journal, but I would like to write more then I do. Many many hugs and prayers to you.

Thank you. <BR/><BR/>I have never been a steady journal keeper. My blog is the longest I've ever kept up with any kind of normal day to day record.
