I've been following your blog for a few months now and I'm amazing by your strength through all of this. Losing a child is one thing but following up with another high risk pg is another. It is something I'm still not ready to do and the thought simply takes my breath away. Good luck on the next few months and know that many people are thinking and praying for you each day.

I'm so glad you are out there, going to bat for other families who stand to lose (or gain) so much. Also, the middle statue that Mike is looking at? There's just something about that pose that cracks me right up. Like he's about to snap his fingers, wiggle his hips, and call me GIRLFRIEND! Well done!

I thought you were incredibly funny, intelligent, well written, and dynamic. I knew as I read it that you would do great things with your life, and that you would use your horrible experience to make a positive change in the world. In fact, I left a comment along those lines way back in the very dark days shortly after you lost your little girl. So I'm not a bit surprised to see you raising tons of money for an important cause and taking on the government. I know you don't know me, but I just want to say how proud of you I am. I know you are (and always will be) in deep mourning, but that's not stopping you from making the world a better place. I can't wait to see what other mountains you climb. Heather,

You have done so much good work in your time of grief. Thank you. Heather and Mike,

I wish the weather would have been better for you. The days haven't been too bad, but man the nights have been chilly! I had my boys in shorts and it was fine, then night rolled around and we were out running errands and I looked like a bad momma with both of my boys in shorts. Oooops. Needless to say, we made a trip to the storage unit on Sat. to get warmer clothes. COBRA is a joke. I know you are glad to have it, but it so ridiculously pricey! Oh, and the price cut makes it oh so affordable (please note the sarcasm). I'm sure you have made a difference! .-= Candi´s last blog ..<a href="http://the-carson-family.blogspot.com/2009/10/put-them-in-closet.html">Put them in the closet...</a> =-.
