Torn.

I hate leaving them.

I love being at home, with the warm fire and the comfortable old lounge.

I love the noise.

I love the big wet kisses from the smallest boy and the easy flow of words from the other kids.

Waking up to smiling faces and stories about trucks and aeroplanes and hearing all about their dreams.

I miss them when I’m here

but

I hate being away from her too.

I feel like a part of me is missing when I’m not with her.

I hate feeling torn.

The many emotions of motherhood…
Hoping and praying that you and Ivy will be home soon…

(((hugs)))

Putting Amy to bed tonight, she snuggled me and said ‘Amy is your baby?’ I replied ‘Yes, Amy is my baby.’ She snuggled closer, looked at me and said ‘I love you Mum.’

Relevance? None. I just thought I’d share. I love your photos.

It’s awful. The boy was only briefly in hospital but all the time I was with him I wanted to be with the girl and the husband and when I spent some time out with the girl I just wanted to be with the boy. I don’t think there is a solution, other than having everyone move into hospital with you. I’m so sorry.

Sorry, Tiff. I love your pics! I get the missing the “noise”… not “noise” to us at all, is it? :-) It is more like music!

You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you get to go home soon!

Yes, it’s an awful feeling but not much longer before you can feel together & whole again. Let’s hope this time, you won’t need to feel this way again. Great photos! as always. xoxo

I am crying for you. I hate leaving one of them behind. It is so hard. I can’t imagine having more than the two. I am thinking about you and praying that this time around is quick. When are they going to do the Port?

I understand you feeling torn, but maybe this is the last time? Great photos.
P.S. I hate sloppy wet kisses, I always made my kids kiss my cheek.

First of all I’d like to say that I am 16, and that I follow this blog religiously. It sometimes hurts my heart, but usually it makes me smile becuase the story unfolding before me is so full of strength. My little sister just turned five and has had many health problems along the way. I’ve been away at college with my older sister and only see her occasionally, and so I understand what you’re feeling although in a very different way. I just wanted to tell you to hang in there, I’m praying for you and Ivy and the whole family :) God Bless.

I love that first photo! I love all of them, but the first is precious beyond words.

My heart aches for you!

there are no right words to say in a situation like this, so I will say nothing.

Wait…

Never mind.

Smootches sweetie.
