First I want to say how much I’ve missed reading your blog in the last 2 months. And then I’ll tell you how awesome it is that you recognize this time as a crossraods. No matter what you decide, it will be right for you and your family. And I think it will bring you peace too.

T-
I have linked to this post on my site. I thank God for knowing you (well you know what I mean) and knowing I am not alone, that I am normal, that the way I feel is normal.
You capture it well. I know your words with every pixel of every letter on the screen. I know them. I live them. I feel so much better knowing, I am not the only one, and that I’m not a greiving mother who cannot move on. I have moved on, my heart is just lagging back a little. Thanks for putting your thoughts into words. It helps.

I’m late to comment on this amazing post, T.

18 months is such a short time, really, in the grand scheme of things. I don’t know if I’m repeating or not, b/c I didn’t read all the comments but I’m so sure that your feelings, thoughts and fears are all natural. I think that people have those thoughts even when having multiple biological children.

At the risk of sounding trite, my thoughts really are with you. I so appreciate your ability to convey these kinds of thoughts and feelings.

Hang in there, T.

Have a family meeting… get it all out there in the open and then make the call.

I’m with you, either way, pal.

I have read this posting a few times now. My heart goes out to you and your family. Friends lost their 16 year old son to suicide 3 weeks ago. I am going to forward this to her in time as I think she will find some comfort in your insights. She has 2 younger children and I just don’t know how she gets up in the morning and moves forward, but she will, she has too for the boys.
