Good for you for speaking up and letting us know how your life has been impacted as well.<BR/> Little Ezra was lucky to have you two as parents. It's great that you guys were helping in your neighborhood. It does feel good to go outside and let out some energy doesn't it.<BR/> I think you guys had a beautiful son, and I think your wife has an amazing spirit and big heart.<BR/> Love LindsayLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732100851347489982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696497315612222496.post-52401015166175834792009-04-07T07:17:00.000-04:002009-04-07T07:17:00.000-04:00David, I think something you touch will turn to go...David, I think something you touch will turn to gold very, very shortly. I truly believe good things are just around the corner for you - and Sarah of course. And I do hate hearing how people think we mothers feel the loss more. I don't believe that is true at all. We feel it differently, but I know that pain, grief and longing is the same. We made our little babies together, we are in the grieving together.<BR/>Always nice to hear from you in this space.Hope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6696497315612222496.post-21325214594423736712009-04-07T01:49:00.000-04:002009-04-07T01:49:00.000-04:00It was lovely to here from you again.

The home that you and Sarah have built together, your beautiful son, a blog that makes me think and expands my view of the world every time I read it, and a world that's a little more compassionate and a little more whole than it would without all your amazing work. Wishing you many more days like the one in the garden, and damned soon.Dani819https://www.blogger.com/profile/00620957484893505246noreply@blogger.com
