SheriAnne commented on Singledadof9's blog post Be There With Him
"This is a really beautiful way to get our hearts ready to celebrate Easter and thank you for sharing. I am going to take your challenge and try to "insert" myself in these final days of Jesus' life on earth."
Susan commented on SheriAnne's blog post Till Death Do Us Part
"Beautifully written SheriAnne. I agree with your thoughts completely. I also feel that I am still connected by marriage to my husband. When Kevin became ill, he lost so much weight that he couldn't keep his wedding ring…"

"Absolutely the same, I wear both rings, and the love with which they were chosen, given and worn has not diminished - not one iota. They will never be taken from my hand, with my consent.
For me, "till death do us part" does not…"

Till Death Do Us Part
I just saw this wedding invitation on Pinterest: A skeleton bride and groom holding hands with the text"Till Death Do Us Part... is for Quitters". I thought here is this hip couple trying to be witty and quirky. I was a little taken aback as I have never been hip or edgey, actually Bill and I used to "argue" about who had less edge. We are the antithesis to this couple- all silly and corny. The text on our wedding invitation was "Love is patient, Love is kind...". But...This is their wedding…See More

Second Sadiversary

And so I begin the march to my 2nd Sad-iversary and I have to confess this year was worse than the first.
As the shock and numbness began to wear off I was no longer protected from feeling the full effect of the awful truth: This is my life, and he is not coming back.
Living with the heaviness of that loss and accepting the permanence of it is almost more than I can bear . But I do not bear it alone, I trust God and his promises.
Find rest, o my soul, in God alone; my hope comes… Continue

I put Jacob in his crib and said "Good Night Baby, Happy Birthday". And then it happened, grief punched me in the gut. I barely made it out of his room before I fell in a heap on the floor sobbing. He is 2 and he needs his daddy! The daddy in all the pictures, the daddy He Won't Remember (that's devastating).
As I lay in a heap on the floor I am back there 2 years ago in that hospital. We are as happy as two people could be. We had a tiny, beautiful, healthy baby boy. I can…
