My blessing this week is the Mountain that I see every day of my life. The Superstition Mtn. is especially meaningful to me because of our first baby "Hannah" that was stillborn. She was cremated and her ashes are sprinkled on this mountain. Every day I look up at "my mountain" and think about her and the time that I felt her moving within me. It is sad to think that I will never get to hold her, but I feel comforted knowing that H.F. has a plan for each of us, and it wasn't her time to live. I'm so grateful that I was given a son soon after our loss with Hannah. Tate means the world to me, and I don't know what I'd do without him. But, I'm also thankful for the hard experiences that I've gone through because they've strengthened me and blessed me to become the person that I am today!Sorry this is kind of deep but sometimes it feels really good to talk about it :)
You have so much faith and you are so strong. I love that you have this mountain as her memory.
ReplyDeleteDear Maria, I had no idea about Hannah. What a beautiful way to remember her. I've always admired the mountains in your pictures with the evening light glowing on them. Again, thank you for sharing this blessing journal. Someday I hope to be as together as Maria Stradling so that I can do something like this. You are so good at using your time wisely! This journal will be a treasure for you and for future generations.
