The rules are: "This award is bestowed on to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to six bloggers who must choose six more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

 I really cannot pick just six for either award. I guess I could, but after being a part of this babylost community, every blog I have been following has helped me in one way or another. Some mamas find healing in the Scriptures, friends, family, activities, writing their hearts out or sharing their stories. All of these, even in the midst of their heartbreak has contributed to some healing in my heart. This road would be incredibly lonely without my bloggy buddies. God is so good to provide such wonderful hearts to help me along the way. Losing Jenna was tragic, but it is beautiful the bond that has been formed through such a loss. So to all the blogs that I follow, thank you thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

Please look to the bottom left of my blog to see all the SMARVELOUS blogs I have been so blessed by.

Love to the sky...

Friendship Award @ Four Months

Thank you, Kristy for passing this onto me. It means a lot. It came on one of those anniversaries we wished we'd never have known. Jenna has been gone four months and it has been a struggle to breathe today. My dear friend, Keana sent me a heavensent email and Kristy from I Love You to the Moon and Back! gave me this award. I am so blessed to be in the midst of good and godly support. It is so hard but God just keeps showing me how He really does care.

Today I have been trying to focus on Jenna's life and not her death. It has been one of those days where I am losing the battle with my will. It has been difficult for me to separate the two but I have decided she would want me to be happy and live again. Of course it is not going to just happen in an instant but eventually I want to be where the pain is not the definition of my life and where joy is real again. I want to get there for her.

I would like to pass this Friendship Award onto six more people. I am sorry if you have already gotten this...
