The toy giraffes peeking over the shelves reminded me of you, too. So cool that there is an image (that shows up EVERYWHERE) to remind us all to remember and pray for you.keep growinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108828624180772190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155082621754325562.post-86635159892811313552011-09-03T22:03:03.618-05:002011-09-03T22:03:03.618-05:00This puts a smile on my face!

My friend that pointed us to your blog let me know last night that Jamie had been chosen and reading that the winner donated the trip makes me tear up all over again. I'll have to make a visit to the Zoo after our big move to see Jamsie's giraffe. <br /><br />Like everyone above has said, your words have moved me deeply and your faith inspires me to work on my own.

I was thinking the same thing about grief yesterday - how when you look outward, when you see the profound legacy of the one you have lost - it can bring both joy and pain. Joy that he is remembered so fondly and that the message of his life lives on, but a painful reminder that he is gone. So many of us out here are praying for you and walking this journey with you. We'll probably never meet you or Matt, but you are in our hearts and prayers. We will never forget your sweet James.Daily Commuterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464996286104790533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155082621754325562.post-46260849425640567612011-09-02T09:19:27.887-05:002011-09-02T09:19:27.887-05:00I think of you both every day.

What an awesome connection.<br /><br />Your words "the tendency is to dwell on these moments, and to remove external influences for fear that the new will drive out the old, and rob you of your memories" are so beautiful. It's so true. I find this fits so many situations. Grief, most certainly, because I've been there (but not quite like you with my own child). But it helps explain how I felt after I gave birth - I didn't want the new experiences to blot out the memories of my daughter's birth, the pain, and the raw joy of it all. When I stopped breastfeeding, I wanted to not move on, paralyzed by the idea I would lose those memories and emotions I cherished.<br /><br />It's finding out that you are not alone that gives you the strength to move forward.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639261156305248242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155082621754325562.post-29070461816094561332011-09-02T08:54:57.476-05:002011-09-02T08:54:57.476-05:00Congratulations - so, so happy that now there'...Congratulations - so, so happy that now there's Jamie to go visit at the zoo.Stephanie Hain Torreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134601039188178507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155082621754325562.post-37091389338955019362011-09-02T08:50:08.841-05:002011-09-02T08:50:08.841-05:00Thank you for sharing your story.
