Maybe she is talking to Miss Sue. One of the twins thinks she is speaking with Abe Lincoln. Who knows?

I would sit and rock Liam and sob afraid that God was going to take him from me .... a mixture of hormones and just being a mommy and realizing that there is nothing more precious in life your children! I never experienced such love until I held my precious baby ... and it grows stronger every day. You learn to trust God- because you realize you really have no control. Not to be the realist .... just sharing how I felt. And understanding the fear you are feeling - IT IS NORMAL:) Praying for you my friend!Tina and Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684912649752076007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-13258600841581715972009-05-12T11:01:00.000-04:002009-05-12T11:01:00.000-04:00Gretchen, my mom was experiencing her first mother...Gretchen, my mom was experiencing her first mother's day without her mom too. As I prayed for her, I prayed for you too.

I lo...I thought of your and your family yesterday. I lost my dear sweet mother on Saturday evening. She succomed after being in a coma for 5 days or so. My mom was 91+ years old. She was widowed at 50; She busied herself by becoming a hairdresser, taking care of EVERYBODY, and loving us. One of the twins said that GeeGee was up in heaven talking to Abraham Lincoln. How 'bout that?!Fran R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-90614896910773461382009-05-11T08:35:00.000-04:002009-05-11T08:35:00.000-04:00Gretchen, I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather ...Gretchen, I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away, but you're right in that when the person was godly, their funeral can be a celebration of their life. <br /><br />Your thoughts on your mom are precious. Even though I didn't know her well, I can picture her doing the exact things you described. She was always very kind and friendly to me the few times I was in Danville, and I always think of her when I put the sheets she gave us for our wedding on our bed. <br /><br />Happy 1st Mother's Day! <br />Love,<br />SharonDavid and Sharon Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773251661312764924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-63482576849121268652009-05-11T01:54:00.000-04:002009-05-11T01:54:00.000-04:00Oh Gretchen,
Join us in the family who have loved ...Oh Gretchen,<br />Join us in the family who have loved being a Mom & now Grandmothers. The fear comes because you love someone so much. It is because of this you have to learn to trust God because it is always there. God bless your Mom as you saw this in her life and how she sought God to give her peace. We love you all so much.<br />Aunt DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
