I can speak for myself and say I may not be able to know what you are going through, but what I can do, is I can listen and read and be there for you.<br /><br />Maggiemaggie dixonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1900113821323304485.post-77004060983848083392010-07-15T01:10:14.208-05:002010-07-15T01:10:14.208-05:00I find it helpful to know that someone else is hav...I find it helpful to know that someone else is having hard days and sad days! I know there are lots of people out there that don't write, blog, about their days at all and I often wonder how they get thru those times. In reading your entries, whether sad or happy, I get some help with how to deal with my life and the problems. I too pray for you and I like being able to read about the areas you need more prayer for. I too don't know you personally but have learned so much from you in your blogs. I feel like I can call you my friend and at times my therapist...LOL!! Don't 'sugar coat' anything, just get it out and let us pray for you and your family for those needs and let us rejoice in your triumphs no matter how small.

I think of you almost every time I am there, since it's where I first met you for Ryan's funeral. Today, I was wondering how you were doing since I hadn't read anything from you in a while. And then I checked my blog feeds and you recently posted! :)<br /><br />I don't comment much on your blog anymore, because I know it's kind of weird since I don't really know you in person. But I read every post!<br /><br />I wanted to come out of lurking and ask you to PLEASE post what you're really feeling. No one wants to read a pretty-painted picture of what life *should* be like. We want to hear the truth, whether it's happy or sad. Sharing your true feelings is what keeps you real. NOT sharing your true feelings would be a disservice to Ryan and your family.<br /><br />Keep being honest and real. Working through your grief helps others work through theirs!<br /><br />I'll go back to lurking now... :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185549963848472081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1900113821323304485.post-52514985031966549072010-07-13T09:33:35.589-05:002010-07-13T09:33:35.589-05:00I haven't checked your blog in a while with a ...I haven't checked your blog in a while with a busy schedule as well. I love to read how you are doing, and my greatest concern right now is that you can stop feeling obligated to make your journal/blog something for someone else. It is a wonderful tool for YOU, and if others choose to read, that is their decision. Please don't temper what you need to hear yourself write/say/feel. No one has been in yours and Chris' shoes. You are not obliged to put on a happy face when things are hard. We're here b/c we love you, and it helps me know how to pray for you, as well as enjoying celebrating beautiful times for you. Make it what you want for YOU. I read your beautiful entries and sat with tears soaking my face. I am so sorry for your heartache.

It is always a generic prayer for your strength to get through each day and watch over you all, but like Sarah said, I too would love to know specific areas that I can help pray for you. It may make us sad to read what you are going through, but we all read your blog because we want to help you through good and bad, ups and downs, happy and sad. That's what friends are for...so my shoulder is open, lean on it, let it out, tell us what is in your heart.<br /><br />Much love to you guys!!<br />AmberThe Smith Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053633868983067251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1900113821323304485.post-19127607843211087722010-07-09T00:33:25.224-05:002010-07-09T00:33:25.224-05:00I think so many people follow this blog because we...I think so many people follow this blog because we care about you and your family, Jenn. We follow because what we CAN do to help, is pray. I would always like to know how you are doing, and in what specific areas of your life you could use prayers and uplifting. I have been thinking of you this month, and know the days leading up to the 28th will be so hard on you and Chris. I know you will always find a way to hold onto the joy, and give the rest over to God. We love you guys bunches.<br />-SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748008333930214235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1900113821323304485.post-61879640670394099912010-07-08T23:44:50.870-05:002010-07-08T23:44:50.870-05:00I have followed your blog since hearing about you ...I have followed your blog since hearing about you from Danielle at Extraordinary Mommy. For some reason, your family really touched me. I have been praying for you over the last year and am sorry to hear that things are so difficult. My heart still breaks thinking about what you have had to endure. I think it is important to do whatever helps you even if that means sad and uncomfortable blog posts. Grieving is different for everyone. Do what feels right for you. I will continue to pray for you and your family that you find some peace and comfort, especially at this difficult time of year.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470522663526395724noreply@blogger.com
