Puts a new spin on "bag lady"

Are these bag children? The sure look that way....wasted some of my trash bags they did.

Lynnie's Stitches

Little Lynnie's first stitches!!! She has 6 lovely blue stitches on her right knee after gashing it on the lever in the bath tub. She is quite proud of them.

What if I don't want to adapt?

Many times I think I am doing ok

I am living and smiling and planning on a future.

I have 3 wonderful living children.

And then out of the blue I feel so lost again.

I Miss Joshua and want him here with me.

I wrote this poem during one of those missing Joshua moments.

Life keeps changing day by day

even when we want it to always stay the same

Some changes bring happiness and joy

others leave us crying out in pain like the loss of my boy.

......................

To these changes we must adapt or so I am told,

develop a new sense of what is and let go of the old

I don't want to adapt to this loss, not today.

The loss of my son is not ok.

....................

I don't want him to be gone

I want him here right now

I want to hug him and gaze upon his face

I want to watch him grow.

....................

Why can't I still have him?

I want him back some how.

He is supposed to be here with me, his mother

Not in heaven, not yet, not now.
