too many thoughts.

I started writing a post, and realized it was more like a book than a post. So, I am going to have to split it up into multiple parts. Please bear with me.

I want to thank every single person that has commented on my blog or Facebook, sent me a simple text, emailed me, and called...or did all of the above.

It is sad that I had to go through something like this to realize how blessed I really am. I am in awe of the kindness that people have shown us. I hope that everyone that has gone through a hard time has felt what I have this past week.  My friends are amazing people, and I am proud that I have surrounded myself with such good people.

It has made me look at miscarriages in a whole new way, and I will strive to be a better person...and friend because of it. I will remember how good it felt to receive a simple I'm sorry, instead of nothing at all.

One of my favorite quotes someone sent me was this by Elder Wirthlin, and this is perfect for how I am feeling:

"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude."

I second Cathy's comment. Also, I love that quote. And I love you. (Do I say that too much? Perhaps so, but I can't help but tell you.)

I feel bad that I didn't know anything about this. I was just looking over FB and saw your little note. I'm so sorry. Please know that even though we may not see or talk to each other often I do think of you often. If there is anything I can do PLEASE let me know. Love ya!!

I'm so sorry Evonne. I just read about this all today. I love that quote by Elder Wirthlin too and believe it to be true.
