I am incredibly grateful for him, incredibly grateful that I didn't lose my first or only child, but the child I lost was unique and I mourn that loss. My living child's presence does comfort me very much, but when people say this to me, I feel guilty for grieving and greedy for wanting another child.)Erika Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150412288276955488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412916172211352976.post-61028256478908988882010-01-19T18:31:33.020-05:002010-01-19T18:31:33.020-05:00It's time to move on.It's time to move on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412916172211352976.post-60038053973698300122010-01-19T16:23:38.887-05:002010-01-19T16:23:38.887-05:00Read the Psalms.

Alright, y...Perhaps I made this too complicated? Alright, y'all, ONE sentence per person. And it is supposed to be a command sentence. Written without a subject. Examples are in italics in the post. But for Jill, I would rewrite yours as:<br />Cry when you need to cry.<br />Kristin: Don't be so desperate for another baby.<br />Krissy: Live<br /><br />And I am not totally sure how I would rewrite Another Dreamer's to follow the "rules" of this community poem. Sorry if this is to complicated. I sort of saw these as action statements. Go do this. Go do that. Not words of platitude, per se. Think Recipe Directions. Mix. Stir. Repeat.<br /><br />Hope that clarifies the intention a bit. Verbs. Actions. One sentence per. Go for it.still life angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150141781089602529noreply@blogger.com
