Comment on Six Months by Mom

Six months ago indeed. I was telling someone that on the 21st, and it hit like a rock to me also. Thank you for sharing your inner self here, Greg. Too many see the brave outside and just a few know the fragile grieving inside you still have. May God be with you always, and may you always remember that Jesus died for us. He did that so we may have eternal life. Anita’s life was lived so she has eternal life. And she is with us always, too. Thanks be to God.

Comment on Valentine’s Day – the best and the worst by Rachel L

I’m heartbroken for you, all of you. Don’t beat yourself up too much over last Valentine’s Day — as you say, it is a manufactured holiday, and you lived in a way that was so supportive of Anita, and so loving toward her, and she knew that.

Comment on Penny’s 2nd birthday by Mom

We had a great little party for Penny and I caught it all on video. Penny shouted “Yaaaaay” at every package she opened.
Oh, Anita, I know you were there watching. Ben and Julia saw the wind chimes over the piano chiming and were surprised. They turned down the ceiling fan and it was still chiming. They both looked at me and I said, “I like to think it’s Mommy” and they agreed. She’s inside each one of us in spirit; God has blessed us with that feeling, and I thank Him with great gratitude every day that passes.

Comment on The valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23:4) by CHERIE WAGNER

CHERIE WAGNER — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:22:55 +0000

TO RESTORE YOUR SOUL MEANS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. GOD WAS IN COMMUNION WITH ADAM AND EVE HE WALKED WITH THEM AND TALKED WITH THEM. HE CREATED THEM SO HE COULD HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. THAT IS WHAT HE WANTS FROM YOU. THE SHADOW OF DEATH REFERS TO THIS LIFE HERE AND NOW THIS PLACE IS WHERE DEATH RESIDES. TO PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE YOU IN THE PRESENTS OF YOUR ENEMIES IS TO LAY OUT BLESSINGS FOR YOU HERE IN THE PRESENTS OF OUR ENEMIES, (THE DEVIL AND HIS FALLEN ANGLES).

Greg, thank you for sharing this information. I realize that there is a disconnect between a reaching a medical conclusion and feeling emotional closure. As I read your update, I kept thinking about Anita’s bright eyes and her wonderful smile. I hope you and your family are okay.

Anita gave this book to me with the inscription “Linda- This book has touched me more than any other. I thought you might feel similarly. Hope you like it.
Love, Anita
She couldn’t have been more thoughtful than she was with this gift. She was right; I like it! I’m so glad to see some of it in your blog.

And now you love her Mom and Dad and the rest of the family more than you could ever have known back then. God works in great and wonderful ways. I’m so happy for you to have all she gave you!

Greg, It has taken me so long to write this…I wanted to write the first day I read it but I couldn’t bring myself to. I hope this brings you some closure. I know it doesn’t lessen your pain, but at least now we have a reason. I kind of suspected it was related to the pregnancy but wasn’t certain. I think of her often, miss her often, and see her in your children’s faces. She lives in my heart and head always. Wishing your beautiful family all the peace and healing in the world.
