The story you shared was so touching when I heard it in Conference--along with Elder Scott's talk. I was reminded that there are so many who suffer so much, many in my own circle of friends and family. I hope that the hard days are filled with love and comfort for you, I can't imagine the grief you must feel.

Kim, beautiful beautiful pictures. ((hug))

I heard that talk too...I cried as they described that woman. It really made an impact on my oldest daughter too.

I was thinking of you during that talk.

Hope you're enjoying our small bit of Utah sunshine.

And that little outfit is almost as adorable as the little girls wearing it.

So much love to you. I can't wait to do your family pictures. I hope you will feel and see Emma reflected in our session together. I'm amazed how much James is still very much a part of my everyday life even 3 years later. There hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought of him. True, time heals to some degree, but the longing never goes away, the aching arms, the wishing it were different remains through all of our years on earth. I know it could be so much worse, but it frustrates me when people tell me how "other people's situation is so much worse, aren't you glad you aren't them" type stories. I feel like it discredits the difficulty of what we are going through. Keep chugging along, you are a beautiful person and so strong. Can't wait until May 30th!

Get over it?!?! Just reading stories of moms who have lost children or who have children going through health problems touches me so much I can't stop thinking about them. If I can't get over someone else losing their child how do you get over losing your own?!?!

Those pictures are beautiful! I can't wait to see how yours turn out. Lots of hugs to you guys.

Oh, love. I can't even imagine how much your heart hurts, but I admire your strength in so many ways. I have a dear friend at work who lost his daughter when she was 7, and I know how he feels much the same as you do...that every day is a step closer to being with her again, when she's whole and beautiful and all his again.
