There are days when I don't like being a Mom, and wish I could have just one day of being childless. It is so hard to be a Mom sometimes. But after I read this, I realized that is such a blessing! Even the long nights when she won't sleep.

The days were still rough but it was comforting to be able to say "we are better now than we were a year ago". It was hard to live that first year as we seemed to compare everything to the year before when life was untouched by tragedy.<br /><br />I hope and pray that you feel some Trisha Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426915708825675793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382136325822253148.post-490109911778427512011-07-11T14:43:52.617-06:002011-07-11T14:43:52.617-06:00I wish we were coming out earlier to spend this di...I wish we were coming out earlier to spend this difficult time with you!
