I don't know much but I do know that an...Oh Em. I don't know much but I do know that anyone who thinks your husband is unlucky or that it would suck to have you as a mother is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I've had times in church when I couldn't get my words out, it's hard. <br /><br />To me, Good Friday is the heart anyway? Easter is the celebration but Good Friday is the heart. I hope that makes sense and isn't offensive to you? I was brought up in a Christian family (my mother is Presbyterian and my father, Anglican) so it is deep within me. But I'm getting into murky territory now, I'm not very informed on theological matters I'm afraid.<br /><br />I think you did the right thing by not staying for the main service and the dedication, be gentle to yourself. It must have been hard anyway, even without the dedication, with the memories of your Eva and the hope for many Easters yet to come with your precious daughter.<br /><br />I'm sorry that you did not get to dedicate Eva. I regret bitterly that I did not have Georgina baptised. Both my daughters were blessed in the hospital but I didn't want to have them baptised as that seemed so final, as though I were giving up. And I couldn't bear to have Jessica baptised without her twin. So she remains only blessed. <br /><br />I hope this comment isn't too clumsy, love to you and hoping and trusting that joy will return to you xoCatherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.com
