I can see the details of Thor in my mind's eye, and feel the mama love, love, love for him. And his joy. . .<br /><br />Thank you, though, for touching on one of the most difficult lessons I'm learning: vulnerability. It's true for every one of us, big and small, and this truth haunts me and twirls around everyone I love. <br /><br />Don't draw on the couch. Don't lick the kitty.

One of my private worries is that if I ever get pregnant again, I will have a boy instead of another little girl like the one we were expecting this time, but this post makes me think a boy would be wonderful, just the thing. When I first lost my daughter, I wrote to you and I will never forget your kindness in responding so quickly and compassionately. Thank you for that and for your writing here, which also helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-19770983204873652492012-04-01T22:22:27.299-04:002012-04-01T22:22:27.299-04:00This is so beautiful.

Yes, capital L.<br />I have written so much about my dead daughter, when there really isn't much left to say, and this has made me realise that like you, I should write more about my amazing living treasures, as there are so many stories to share. We all held our breath with you while you gestated with Thor. <br />This part really hit home for me, and was true for me also: <br />"I couldn't tell anyone what that was like, so I lost most of my friends during his pregnancy. It's not their fault. It's no one's fault. I am just wired for self-destruct when I am vulnerable. Most everyone who has gone through this knows what I mean. It feels like you are damaged, never going to recover from that space between believing there will be a death and hoping there won't be."<br />You're an incredible writer, an incredible mum and Thor sounds like such a super fun kid. I wish like Dani I had been able to see him grow in the flesh, not just through the internets.<br />Love to you all today and huge birthday hugs for Thomas Harry.<br />xoHope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013443217504323406.post-54295965231861546572012-04-01T13:50:20.671-04:002012-04-01T13:50:20.671-04:00Happy Birthday, Thor <3 This post was beautiful...Happy Birthday, Thor <3 This post was beautiful, Angie.
