What an outstanding job you have done to keep Aaron Jr. grounded and blended with both families. I admire your strength and your determination to be a family and still allow your feelings to show in a way that allows you to grow. Aaron Jr. will always know how much you loved his daddy. And someday he will totally understand the grieving you have done. I love the posts that show the "normal" life you have provided for Aaron Jr. in a very abnormal situation. This loss could never be judged in your heart by anyone other than you and God.<br />You are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to your parenting. I keep 3 little girls (no kin to me at all) that nobody cares for and both of their parents are alive and well. I would choose you any day. Blessings to you and do something good for yourself, Leslie.... :)<br />Rita in TXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-26207613607577706582009-08-31T04:39:23.295-06:002009-08-31T04:39:23.295-06:00Love you Leslie.

I do not post under my full name because I would hate for my sweet husband to stumble upon this and feel like I am still deeply grieving. I do not wish to cause him pain in my attempts to bring whatever comfort my own tragedy might bring your life.<br /><br />The poster who has said such heartless things -- I can't imagine that she has gone through any kind of loss. This is no excuse for her behavior, and I in fact think something must be wrong with her mentally for her to feel comfortable saying such cruel things on a private blog.<br /><br />Anyways, I have grown a lot just by reading your posts. I hope you will not let this person cause you one moment of hurt. Ignorant people need to be pitied (and educated).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-51498547060412863872009-08-30T20:11:53.972-06:002009-08-30T20:11:53.972-06:00I love love the shadow picture!

When we are proud of things we are happy to share. When we are embarrassed we hide behind our shame. You obviously are a coward who must be carrying around a deep pain so deep that you have to try and hurt someone else to try and nurture your wounds, instead of giving advice why not sit back ask YOURSELF what you could work on and find love in your heart for who you are and then it will not be so hard to love others.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-70946636764522918002009-08-29T23:06:35.301-06:002009-08-29T23:06:35.301-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665999536342151025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-10695193515013869332009-08-29T13:53:16.917-06:002009-08-29T13:53:16.917-06:00thank you michelle. i am not sure if i know you or...thank you michelle. i am not sure if i know you or not, but thank you.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166451736632622252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-43031316011551888722009-08-29T12:43:31.275-06:002009-08-29T12:43:31.275-06:00Really, Anonymous -- this is the best advice you c...Really, Anonymous -- this is the best advice you can give to someone who has experienced one of the greatest tragedies of life?

One day I was driving down the road with Ethan and Ethan said he missed his daddy. Which of course made me bust out bawling. Then Ethan proceeded to comfort me and say don't cry it is going to be alright. So I wanted to know a few things so I asked Ethan a few questions. I asked him if he ever sees daddy. I didn't know what to expect...then he said yeah - he is right here. At that point he was having his own conversation. Right then I knew that he is visited by his "angel daddy" I don't doubt that one bit. We went to the Draper open house and Ethan and I went with my in-laws. It was such an amazing experience because at one point Ethan turned to me and said "Daddy" and pointed. We all kind of teared up. We have angels amongst us and that watch over us and love us so much. It breaks my heart to think that Ethan doesn't have Kirt here as a Daddy...but he will always have is "angel daddy". I am grateful for the gospel and knowing that one day we will be together as a family. I think that is how we are able to make it through the hard times.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772491229081032169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-29861472234203857882009-08-28T07:54:13.734-06:002009-08-28T07:54:13.734-06:00What does death mean to him?

Not that you would ever say it but things can get mixed up for kids and they try to put the pieces together. <br /><br />My husband is adopted and when I first asked how he knew or when he found out he said he just always knew. He doesn't remember ever having a conversation about it. One day Aaron Jr will just know because it has just been that way. Then he will start realizing the sacrifices and love you have given him and how important he is to you.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742197630363973158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-1133387425124237622009-08-28T06:29:21.427-06:002009-08-28T06:29:21.427-06:00They say the veil is thin with children, maybe his...They say the veil is thin with children, maybe his Daddy is with him on your outings, maybe Aaron Jr can still see him because he hasnt lost his innocence yet.Dani and Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12150200505718846914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827667427529222393.post-52134845857046312212009-08-28T06:18:56.163-06:002009-08-28T06:18:56.163-06:00This part of your journey is most difficult.
