You’re a so gifted, talented, gentle, sincere, and loving person. My English is not good enough to describe my thoughts and feelings, but I found one comment from Sif Orellana that exactly describe it: “You are truly one of the finest, most honest and pure-hearted human beings I have ever met. You and your little Poet have truly deserved each other. It must be fate that has brought you two together. I don't doubt that for a moment. I admire you for your courage, your honesty and all that beautiful light that lives within you.” I wish you, K. and Poet many many happy years together.<br />NataliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773302734490823674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167921769755461419.post-70909075325733721592014-02-11T20:29:51.344-05:002014-02-11T20:29:51.344-05:00Dear Christine,

I think so many people just don't know that they don't have to say anything, they just need to be there and listen. <br />I am hoping so much that this ordeal of hanging between the greatest fear and the greatest joy will soon be over for you and you can breathe again.<br />With the love of a mother and a friend<br />ClareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167921769755461419.post-81847000178301723302014-02-10T18:52:06.774-05:002014-02-10T18:52:06.774-05:00Nothing more selfish than a teenage boy, I panicke...Nothing more selfish than a teenage boy, I panicked as I read the words Letting go for this has become my place of all that is good, and to not have it anymore would knock my existence right off its already fragile foundation. I can offer no words of wisdom as I have not been able to distinguish between the fair weather and true variety myself. I have been burned more times than I care to admit. Funny, because I know how to be a true friend one would conclude I could see the truth with ease. Your last sentence in this post is a gift that I will hopefully remember, thank you. Again, you have given me so much, and the only thing I can offer you is my admiration.Domenicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317806960773980880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167921769755461419.post-24563651337529182172014-02-08T12:49:48.202-05:002014-02-08T12:49:48.202-05:00Although I do not know you, have followed your blo...Although I do not know you, have followed your blog for awhile. Your story of being with little Poet is clearly a journey of unconditional love. Sending best thoughts and blessings to you.

I also felt abandoned by my friends when I had my baby (my husband did with his first child too). My best friends since grade school just disappeared. In the last few years, talking with other Moms and Dads, I think this is very common. Since then my newer Mommy & Daddy friends have become like family. They understand what its like to have a baby/family. They don't judge when your house is a mess or you show up to their party covered in baby puke and end up leaving early. My single friends just didn't get it. Babies made them uncomfortable. <br /><br />I hope you continue to blog when you can. I look forward to your beautiful writings and pictures.

I haven't words to tell you how grateful I am to have had the fortune to get to know you. What a blessing. You so truly deserve all the love and caring thoughts that flow towards you through your precious blog, and I dearly wish, that you and Poet soon will be on safe ground and can look forward to a happy and safe future together together. She is so lucky, the little angel, having come under your loving wings.

I believe that people come into our lives for seasons, some long, some short, some forever. <br /><br />While I don't know your current situation, other than what you've shared here about Poet, I do know what it's like to adopt a baby, and I do know it was worth every ounce of energy required, every dollar spent. <br /><br />Whether other people understand your journey is not important; how can they understand when they aren't in your shoes? A true friend will simply walk alongside you and hold your hand. Let the others go their own way and know they were only in your life for a season, however long that may have been. Who knows? Maybe they'll come around, in time.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />DayleDayle ~ A Collection of Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727194212928446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167921769755461419.post-62463397456766009372014-02-07T21:43:02.424-05:002014-02-07T21:43:02.424-05:00oh Sally,
