After two years of working hard to let things go related to my own birth injury, something finally broke the bitterness out of me on Easter weekend. On Friday, I'll take my little boy to the pediatrician who shares an office sweet with the medical group that includes the midwife who injured me. Every time I've gone before, the bitterness has just piled up. But this time, I'm hoping it will be different. Somehow I'll work to remember your words and take them in my heart as I walk through my own hallway of memories.<br /><br />The Shack was a big thing in my heart too. Talking to God had always been kind of an academic thing for me until I read that book, and then it became more real and personal somehow. So much about the book impacted my spiritual journey for good. I liked it so much that when I heard the author was coming to my town a few years ago, we invited him for dinner. It was really special to hear his heart and hear how his story came to be written. It's like he was given that gift of a story and an outlet to share it with the rest of us that it seems like no ordinary book, almost like our Heavenly Father had a hand in it.<br /><br />Anyway, thank you for sharing your heart. I always love coming here and reading about your own journey.Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699703420759064041.post-76999542040184019852011-05-20T18:41:07.082-07:002011-05-20T18:41:07.082-07:00I have always loved your purity Megan and it is so...I have always loved your purity Megan and it is so evident in the way you felt and described this experience. Giving birth is one of those "purifying by fire" acts of life - in your case purifying by inferno - but what precious metal we are left with when the heat disperses.JessicaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616624217034841870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699703420759064041.post-41395492722289470702011-05-18T17:30:20.758-07:002011-05-18T17:30:20.758-07:00I feeling of relief came over me as I read your la...I feeling of relief came over me as I read your last post about Hugh! What a life you've walked! I suppose you know what Emma felt as she lost so many of her babies. I'm so thankful you have 2 girls and 2 boys forever!Becky Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733518903943141370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699703420759064041.post-88770157256593251392011-05-18T14:09:10.605-07:002011-05-18T14:09:10.605-07:00I admire your talent for writing but even more I a...I admire your talent for writing but even more I admire your strong spirit and faith!Clark, Jolie and Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177445414935428339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699703420759064041.post-49913249770363587282011-05-18T12:45:32.741-07:002011-05-18T12:45:32.741-07:00"We have nothing to help each other... except..."We have nothing to help each other... except our stories."<br /><br />I so admire your candor and the way in which you invite others into your life to hear and learn your story... it's from that sincere, honest place that understanding and compassion and learning originates. It's inspiring.<br /><br />I'm so glad I have you as my big sister - you make me want to be a better person!<br /><br />And I'm so, so glad that Hugh made it safely here so that we can all enjoy his awesome personality!Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872366191919409613noreply@blogger.com
