Dear Girls,
Mommy is heading back to the beach for the weekend and Mimi has saved the day! The only way I could ever get out of NOT taking you girls to the beach with me is if Mimi takes my place here in Hartsville! Daddy and I have a wedding this weekend and I’ll be sure to tell you all about the princess bride, Julia. I know you’ll want to hear all about it!
You two and Mimi are already on your way to the pool right now. I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures in the yard and at the pool and see what you girls get into! It’s always a party when Mimi is around! (Bapa,too.) Have fun and I miss you already!
Love, Mom
P.S. World… Thank you all for your sweet words of encouragement and constant support! Remind me to keep busy and stop “thinking” so much! (See post below.) I’m so happy to have my girls and I’m thrilled that Mary Clare leads such a fulfilling life. Every. Single. Day. How awesome is that simple fact? I know that everything is totally out of my hands and I try to keep myself very busy so I won’t worry, but it certainly helps to vent every now and then! (My blog is a diary of sorts, but it’s easy to forget sometimes that it is open for the world to see!) Thanks for everything.

never, ever, EVER apologize for putting your fears and pain and “freaxia” on the blog. this is the reality of the heart life. it sucks. it hurts. it’s outright terrifying at times. and to deny any of that is dishonest and doesn’t help anyone, including other heart moms who think they’re the only ones thinking about this stuff, and especially you, who so desperately needs to vent and be supported by other people who care and who have “been there, done that.” i really appreciated your post, actually. sometimes i think i’m going crazy, imagining all the “what ifs” that may never even happen… but we have to. because we know that these same “what ifs” may indeed happen. we hope they won’t, but they might. share away. vent. cry. God knows i’ve written the words “i’m done. i’m too tired for this anymore” more times than i care to think about. but it’s the reality of heart life. don’t be ashamed. admitting fear and weakness takes incredible courage and strength. i’ll be praying for you, MC and your whole family. <3
