Intentions

My intention this month is to reflect, reminisce, read, and hopefully share and feel comfort.  I want to be able to wrap all of that around me like a blanket.  I want to remember Clara’s blanket wrapped around her, comforting her, soothing her, and hugging her as she lived her days in our arms.  My wish is that everyone finds their blanket, comfort, and a mending of their broken heart.

 This morning gave me some quiet time to share some of Clara’s things with Haleigh and Preston.  They got to feel her pretty blanket and her music toy.  We looked at a book of pictures and hold her pacifier.  Today I chose those things that comforted Clara to capture my grief, comfort, and healing.

I appreciate being able to follow others on their journey.  Reading their work makes me look into my own heart and reflect upon how I did or would have handled what they had to.  There are always things some of us aren’t comfortable sharing but just being able to read that someone else did or felt the same as you can be healing.  I know it reminds me that I am not alone in how I feel.  I hope that by the end of the month, you too know you are not alone.
