We had a Boyd's Bear firehouse with the words "United We Stand" that spoke to us at a Hallmark one night after my loving wife's miscarriage. We protected it and kept it displayed, even when it became "way out of style (like it ever was)". After years and years of glancing over at it and wondering what might have been, our youngest came along when he was first learning to walk, knocked it over and broke it into thousands of pieces. We were devastated and then a few days later thought about how there is no way we would have our youngest if we wouldn't have had the miscarriage. That was the first time we had ever thought of that as a blessing in our life. OK - now get back to the funny posts, I'm verklempt over here!Dto3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13450262520783006447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824745890000210678.post-43813330813758775902010-01-19T08:32:31.801-05:002010-01-19T08:32:31.801-05:00I joined Curves the same week I lost my first baby...I joined Curves the same week I lost my first baby.<br /><br />It's very possible to miss someone you never knew. And the grief of a miscarriage is intensely personal. No one else had that baby in her body and no one else knew him or her. So no one else misses him or her like mama and daddy.<br /><br />I got a necklace from Etsy. It's sterling silver circle that says "Always in My Heart". In the middle of the circle are 3 birthstones. One for each of my babies. The one who lived and the two who didn't.<br /><br />Now you have me being all corny. lol.<br /><br />http://marybt.wordpress.comMaryBThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03799517233702549577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824745890000210678.post-36862714554396071622010-01-18T13:55:12.199-05:002010-01-18T13:55:12.199-05:00Not a corny post.

Like the people who don't cry at funerals. Go through greeting people, going to the cemetary, feeding the guests. Take care of the will and all the business. Then you sit down and cry your eyes out. At your own pace, in your own time.Mama Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728171552859416176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824745890000210678.post-8817131988593992582010-01-16T15:52:58.679-05:002010-01-16T15:52:58.679-05:00This was a good one that I needed today.
