Dear Jenny. Thank you first for your kind comment on our blog. Writing has been so therapeutic for me while also a way to preserve the precious memories of my beautiful children. I just received an email from our priest regarding the Ellison family and just put all this together- that the family we have been praying for is the family you are speaking of in this post. Praying for miracles and comfort during this tragic time. Love to you and your lovely family. As always I would love to sit down and share a cup of coffee or a bottle of wine with you.

I’m so glad you are blogging again, Jenny! Your photos and posts are so beautiful and inspiring. You are right, it is so mysterious the ways in which we are tied together, and I’m sure we don’t even know the half of it.

You’re so right, Jenny. Knowing who these people are and what they are experiencing right now, and then knowing that they are banded together is remarkable. In my mind they are very real, shining witnesses of the depth of all that we believe.

In my mind, the birth of my own son is woven with Adrian’s, as both were born on Sunday. It’s simply “not fair” that one should live and the other not; life just doesn’t make sense sometimes. Gabe learned of Adrian’s birth from Fr John on Sunday. It brings tears to my eyes that our family should experience such joy while another is afflicted with such grief. Lord have mercy, indeed.

Wow, that is remarkable, isn’t it? I like Rachel’s response about “leaning In.” Lord have mercy! I am clinging to that image of Celia and Adrian holding hands.
