Please Ask

Mothers love talking about their kids. If you have kids, this comes as no surprise to you, I'm sure. I'm eager to talk about any one of my girls to anyone that will listen. Why do you think I blog? To brag about my adorable children, of course! Samantha is no exception. Even though she isn't here with me physically, I carry her around in my heart and mind daily. And just because I can't share the first time she rolled over or the face she made upon tasting green beans for the first time or any other little milestone, doesn't mean I don't want to share things from those precious 8 weeks I had with her. This includes her death and funeral.

I find that people are hesitant to talk to me about her, even though they may be curious. I think there is the fear that it is too difficult to talk about or that they will inadvertently offend me. That may be true for other mothers, but for me that is not the case. You will not offend me by asking questions, and it is not difficult for me to talk about.

If there is something you want to know, just ask! I assure you that answering a difficult question is far better than being avoided because you don't know what to say. Remember! I love talking about my kids! ;)
