And I understand about the feeling guilty part.<br /><br />That being said, I'm really glad you were feeling better this morning. The little rays of sunshine might not be there every day, but I hope they continue to peek out of the clouds for you.Violet1122https://www.blogger.com/profile/05470143683967710014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-66010010906205778832010-07-21T20:07:20.798-05:002010-07-21T20:07:20.798-05:00PS.

The butterflies are so pretty and such a special reminder of the sign you received. I am thinking about you.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601800346553703806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-23696684465559702212010-07-21T20:01:15.529-05:002010-07-21T20:01:15.529-05:00My first two weeks back were short due to Memorial...My first two weeks back were short due to Memorial Day and vacation days I had already requested. One of those days was for my less than joyous 30th birthday. When I went back in June, I really thought I would have increased motivation. But every day a huge dark cloud of sadness formed over me, and I ended up being completely unproductive. I did what I absolutely had to, but anything that required initiative, creativity, or focused thought was out of the question. Being able to feel motivated and productive is a great accomplishment!<br />I am so glad that you experienced a ray of sunshine today. I hope that those moments become more frequent as the days go by. You are a wonderful mom and have done a beautiful job memorializing Jacob while also supporting other moms experiencing loss.

Some days are so cloudy, so it is nice to see the sun and I have to believe we will have more and more of them. The guilt thing is hard, but I know that Oliver will always know I care and think about him daily and that I have to be strong for his Dad, sister and hopefully future siblings.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785882007350289786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120089838687161782.post-43221224683093999642010-07-21T16:32:57.648-05:002010-07-21T16:32:57.648-05:00The guilt thing is awful isn't it?
