Hopes and dreams.
Elise is still desperately hoping for another baby, but she is also remembering Emma more lately as well. She actually picks out for one of her nap time books the one about heaven. I was half asleep beside her the other day, but heard her “reading” aloud. We were at a friend’s house today and [...]
Cardiologist consultation.
OK, here is the update from the cardiologist appointment today. There is so much information to share I don’t know if I can get it all down at once or not, but I will try. Let me start with the basics: We got to Little Rock an hour and a half early for the appointment [...]
John’s office building.
Good news! John’s office building is now under contract with a closing date of July 21. Thank you all for praying. This will be a great relief to John stresswise and also financially.
Anticipation.
I am finding that the anticipation of our visit with the cardiologist next week is affecting me. I am missing Emma in a much more real way. It is like stepping back into her world for just a bit and that is hard. I sat down for a little yesterday and wondered how it would [...]
Be content.
I was struck and humbled the other day as the Lord revealed to me how illogical and messed up my thinking can be. I would like to share with you the revelation that I came away with. I was out in the country visiting friends and was voicing my opinion that living in the country [...]
Cardiologist appointment
We were scheduled for an appointment June 22 with Emma’s cardiologist. Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers that day. John will be getting off work so that we both can go down together. Basically I am just asking some questions that are still circlating in my mind since Emma died. I don’t know [...]
Another conversation with Elise.
I know you all enjoyed reading one of my conversations with Elise. Here is another one that I hope you enjoy. This occurred just a few days ago and as you will see, part of it really tugged at my heart. To understand the context of this “discussion” you will need to know that Elise [...]
Call to the cardiologist.
I am doing pretty well right now, but still very very sad. We are also feeling a bit stressed still with John’s building not selling and are still begging for prayers regarding this. I called Emma’s cardiologist office today. I had planned to do this several weeks ago to set up an appointment with him [...]
Zoo trip.
We had a fun trip to the zoo, although several of us came back with headaches and sunburns due to the heat and sun. Thankfully the kids seemed fine. I was smart and put sunblock on Elise, but then I didn’t on myself (don’t ask me why).
Quiet times.
I just wanted to share that I am doing better with spending the time I need with God. I need to do better on expanding the time so that I really take the time to share my feeling with him because I think that is what I need. But at least I have the base [...]
