The past three weeks have been very, well, I am not sure that a particular word can actually describe them, but Trying would be one word. Emotional another. Confusing a third. Draining a fourth. And finally, the past three weeks have finally found within them a sense of peace and resolve.

Acceptance would be the overlying theme of the past three weeks.

I often read a blog that I began reading in the first days that it was established, which was close to the same time of Ivey's birth. I read the blog because I found my own thoughts there at times. Our stories took very different paths. Often I read the post and completely ache for this family and send what I can only hope are words of encouragement and confirmation, other days I read the post out of complete fear of my own family. Today there is a post that once again feels like my very own thoughts, especially after the past three weeks. So take a moment and read HERE. One thing that Ivey has taught both me and Matt is stated in this blog so eloquently. No matter your pain, it can never be compared to another's pain. Never. He says - pain can not be measured or compared. Pain can only be experienced. So go now and read!
