Today I've been featured on the Time Out For Women website.
I'm flattered they would ask me to write for a second time.

Great article Ashley - your perspective is so beautiful and I love the metaphors you present. You are such a wonderful example to all of us!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Ashley.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post. You've come a long way. Beautifully written.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Your mothers words are ones we can all remember through out our lives.
ReplyDeleteVery touching and well written yet again! My husband and I have some friends who recently lost their 4 month old daughter and I just shared this link with her. She just started a blog yesterday, and in her first post she talked about how hard it is for her not to think of all the 'what if's' and the dreams she had for her daughter Quinn. Sharing your story has touched so many, and I hope your words can comfort our friends as well. Thanks for opening your heart!
ReplyDeleteYou did a really great job! You said some very touching, thought provoking things in such a clear, understandable way. You were concise in your writing yet still emotionally available in your tone. Well done. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing and so inspiring Ash!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for awhile now, and I don't mean to, but each time I read your blog my cry. I cry happy tears for you as you and Ledger play together, as you rejoice in Preslee, as your heart aches for her. When I was five years old (now 28), I became an angel sister. My sweet younger brother passed. REading what you've wrote, I understand what my sweet mom went through. When my brother passed, I was much too young at the time to understand her feelings. But through you, I feel I've become closer to my own mom and we talk about it. Our family rejoices in knowing we are forever. AS his sister, I have felt his guidance so many times in my life. I know she is rejoicing in your family milestones. What a perfect sister missionary I bet she is. I imagine my brother and the awesome missionary work he is doing all the time. thinking about his daily activities in heaven and how near he is to us (my parents and the his 6 siblings) just makes me smile. I know he is helping us on the other side, more than he ever could on this side. Ashley, you are amazing, and I appreciate you sharing your joys/sadness/heartaches of life with us, your readers. Can't wait to see what life holds for you and your family. Best of wishes, and many prayers sent your way.
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing, Ashley. Can I ask a favor? If you remember to, repost this at Christmastime. It was beyond miraculous last year that I avoided a christmas breakdown after years in a row of doing THAT fun tradition annually! I need to remember that holiday he never had means very little "over there." December is a struggle.
ReplyDeleteI needed this post today. The past couple of weeks as been of milestones for my living children, and I've been having a hard time with the bittersweet feelings of not getting those with my Cora. I love the idea that she's cheering me on. Cheering her just younger sister as she starts kindergarten, cheering for her younger sister's first birthday. I have been struggling to remember that our separation is just temporary, because it feels like an eternity already. So thank you.
