Perspective - you taught me well when you said, "Go home and be with your family" and "we're not saving lives!" O Amy, of all people, you got it even before all this happened. Have you heard the song about "what if your blessings come through raindrops, what if your healing comes through tears?" Well, maybe you and I are getting a blessing where God has our full attention, where we are radically changed. I can't wait to see you. Sending hugs and more hugs and can't wait to give you a real one in August. Love you!UWAMAHORO Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14874211623577487966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487158576654436988.post-37162468918655943262012-07-24T11:49:12.937-07:002012-07-24T11:49:12.937-07:00Beautifully stated, Liz.

You are both heroes of mine, and I will do anything I can to help you both. Amy, let the guilt GO. Let the meals come in, let the offers for help come in, and spend that time playing monopoly with Brady or dressing Barbies with Kaylee. Thank you you sharing your story, your true feelings, on your blog. I love you girl!LatteLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00527801963377439758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487158576654436988.post-55999711066219793132012-07-24T10:34:31.919-07:002012-07-24T10:34:31.919-07:00Oh the guilt. I have spent a lot of time thinking ...Oh the guilt. I have spent a lot of time thinking about guilt and I'm not even Catholic! I wrote a whole blog post about it. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up having some PTSD-like feelings/effects. As you know, with Finley, we ended up with a pretty awesome case scenario after a rough start and there are so many that don't get to even make it home with their baby. It breaks my heart every time.. but I am SOOO thankful to have our girl. Survivor guilt is such a very real thing. But you just have to process it and let it go. I firmly believe we are blessed to be a blessing and I know you won't squander your blessing. You are meant to do great things (no pressure) and that other path wasn't where you were to go right now. We rejoice with you in this time of celebration. You have been through a lot (in a short amount of time) and it will take time to process it all and that's ok. <br /><br />I love these verses...<br /><br />“To everything there is a season,<br />a time for every purpose under the sun.<br />A time to be born and a time to die;<br />a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;<br />a time to kill and a time to heal …<br />a time to weep and a time to laugh;<br />a time to mourn and a time to dance …<br />a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;<br />a time to lose and a time to seek;<br />a time to rend and a time to sew;<br />a time to keep silent and a time to speak;<br />a time to love and a time to hate;<br />a time for war and a time for peace.”<br /> Ecclesiastes 3:1-8Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738804652282685909noreply@blogger.com
