A Special Friend

We've been starting to enjoy the spring weather here in Denver, last week we had a little snow and this week we are in the 60s and 70s. I'm definitely ready for spring to come, I look forward to the Farmer's Market and hiking around Colorado. I really want to see more areas of Colorado this summer, we didn't do very much hiking last year. Lately, we have been going to the zoo on the weekends with Lily.

Everyday continues to be a challenge, Friday's are the worst, as that was the day we lost Jillian. I'm starting to sleep better, so I guess that is some progress. Ryan no longer allows me to bring the computer into the bedroom, which really has helped me sleep. Although, my body continues to think I'm pregnant as I'm still eating all the time, that really sucks.

Losing a child really makes you stop and think about your life. I've been evaluating my life and relationships since all this began, trying to decide what's best for me and my family. I definitely have changed, I no longer look at things in the same way. My priorities are different, I really don't care about the little things anymore, I'm just blessed to have a healthy family and friends.

My best friend Jill has blogged about Jillian on a few occasions (3.18 & 4.17), she has been a wonderful friend during all of this. I guess it is because I can tell her what I'm feeling and she understands completely, she's able to tell me in advance that months 3-6 are the hardest to get through. I'm blessed to have a friend like her in my life and name Jillian after her. Keep her & Justin in your prayers, this past Sunday was the twins due date. Please check out her blog -
A big thank you to all of you that have donated to Rowan Tree Foundation, it is an amazing and wonderful charity!
