oh geez, my latest entries must be alarming. May my life serve as a warning; get everything in writing! ugh.

[stratton_blair]

ugh. it can be such an ugly and terrible thing. i hate reading what you and your little one are going through...but it really has given me a glimpse at what to expect. i can be smarter because of it.

thank you, dear!

I am also very sorry to hear this, but perhaps inspired too. the way things are right now did not happen overnight and although you have obviously been enduring a lot through ending and rebuilding, you scarcely showed it. on this side of the computer, the username stratton_blair embodies the happiest of times and things. every entry is colorful and happy, and although things were not always feeling colorful and happy you were still able to share those things with me (us?) you are an optimist in the purest of forms, and I truly thank you for the positivity that shines through in all of your entries, even this one.
I wish you all the best.

here here!

oh good grief. my heart is completely swollen from all of this! i don't think i can properly convey what your words mean to me, but know that i hold them dearly to me.

there was a point where i thought i might get lost in all of this...losing any bit of shine that i had. and while it's still easy to start sliding backwards, i have found it's much easier to shine instead.

thank you so much, friend!

look how happy that little boy is with you. max is so lucky to have you, and vice versa. although i don't know you in real life, the joy i feel in all of your entries makes me sure that you will both be just fine.
thank you for sharing this with us. i agree with everything that krysta (disasters) said: your optimism is truly inspiring. i, too, wish you all the best.

[stratton_blair]

i still am breathless by max's resilience. it has been terrible on him but his happiness is steadfast. it has gotten us both through quite a bit.
thank you for your encouragement and sweet words. i cherish them, do!

You are so brave to share something so heartbreaking and personal. All of my love and positive thoughts are headed your way. My mother raised my siblings and I on her own and, even though it was hard, it was for the best. Our family was much better for it. I'm sure the same will be true for you.

[stratton_blair]

i hate that it took me so long to open up. but i think it was too raw and painful. i'm ready to move forward and this was certainly a step in that direction...standing in my own honesty.

i have no doubts i am doing what is best for our little family. we are shaken but completely able to pull ourselves out of this.

thank you again for all of your love! oh, how is means so much!

[stratton_blair]

thank you so very much, love! i was hoping that by sharing we could all encourage and support each other...and i am here for you as well if you ever need to vent or discuss. we mamas need each other.
