And the 16th of every month. And the time of the afternoon (4:24 p.m. she was born.) Then, suddenly, I stopped thinking that way and didn't even realize it. Now, I sometimes even have to calculate in my mind how many months old she'd be now. Though I think of her on the 16th of every month, I don't every Tuesday. Things will change. Here's a post I wrote when I first realized these changes:<br /><br />http://roseandherlily.blogspot.com/2011/01/when-was-moment.html<br /><br />"Marcellus memorabilia." Aah, I love it! I too have a necklace with Lily's actual footprints scaled down! I got it from My Forever Child. (www.myforeverchild.com)<br /><br />You can see my necklace here:<br /><br />http://roseandherlily.blogspot.com/2011/03/necklace-with-lilys-actual-footprints.html<br /><br />I'd love to see yours!<br /><br />I'm so glad Mike has been able to connect with another man that has had a loss. Women and men grieve differently, or so I've heard. I don't know too much about that since I'm not with Lily's father anymore...<br /><br />That's amazing you got to share about Marcellus with your classmates and that they were open to it and broke the ice saying they were sorry.<br /><br />I sometimes wonder why Lily died...was there something wrong with my body?<br /><br />You are amazing going to get your degree for Marcellus! Everything I do, I do for Lily. In honor of her. You really are such a good mother! Morgan, God will give you strength you need to get through this semester, each moment you need it. Rely on Him, lean on Him.<br /><br />This is a post I wrote 13 days after losing Lily that reminds me of your last paragraph:<br /><br />http://roseandherlily.blogspot.com/2010/03/13-days.html<br /><br />One day at a time!!Hannah Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789383446266473340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421336479006831882.post-23330574999175705352012-01-14T06:25:56.374-05:002012-01-14T06:25:56.374-05:00I'm glad you sent me the link to your blog.

It has helped me understand what you need from your friends and family, even from people like me who you haven't known for long, don't know that well, and may never meet. I'm also glad we got to chat today. I wish I could be there for you other than just saying "I'm here if you need me," but that isn't really possible. I even read through your husband's blog. I've been sitting here at this computer for hours now reading and crying the whole time. It hurts my heart to know that such amazing people have to go through this much greif and pain. Even though I have only had the privelege of seeing pictures and a couple videos of your beautiful son, I think of you, your husband, and Marcellus often. I smile at the memories you have locked away in your hearts forever, I cry at the thought that he is no longer with you, and then I smile again to know that someday you will be with him again.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526067706749820146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421336479006831882.post-85959714650290394232012-01-10T10:27:53.124-05:002012-01-10T10:27:53.124-05:00You made it.

You're right, he will be your greatest motivation/inspiration. One day at a time...Stacey Winhamnoreply@blogger.com
