Looking for the end of the rainbow.

Things that have helped:
Blogging helps me organize thoughts.
Clarity that comes from the Holy Ghost.
Listening to the Book of Mormon on iPod even though I'm too fuzzy to concentrate.
Feeling no regrets.
Not being angry through faith.
I don't have to wonder why. I think I'm protected.
Carl and I both had foreshadowing of demise individually.
They were always facing each other in ultrasound pix. They needed to be together.
Feeling grateful I got to have Duncan and George for a short time.
Grateful I get to have them later.
Grateful I got to grow to love the babies instead of being mad or sad about being pregnant.
Telling my kids was a good idea so they could share in the joy along with the sorrow.
Feeling the outpouring of love from people.

Celia, that was beautiful.

Ohhhh, the part about the boys facing each other...and the fact that they are together...and that you will have them forever. Beautiful.

Love you.

I've been thinking about you. So tough! Life would be unbearable at times if we didn't have an eternal perspective. Hugs!

Robin said...

You are so wonderful. I like how the picture you posted shows a rainbow behind the powerlines and over a road construction site. We have to focus on that rainbow. Love you.

Writing is so good for healing, and you are so good with words. Amazing how the Holy Ghost sometimes prepares us for things before we even realize they are going to happen. What an amazing tender mercy. Yes, you are very loved, and so are your babies. Beautiful post.

I have been thinking about you ever since you wrote about what happened. I thought I would wait, and think of something inspirational or life changing to say. It isn't happening. All I can think of is that huge hole those precious tiny babies left in your heart. I know everyone is telling you how strong you are... and I'm sure you don't believe them. They are RIGHT. Hold onto your faith, your family, and your friends, they are truly your lifesaver. I wish you as much peace as your heart can handle. I love you.
