Kolette…

Odd how you come across one’s blog. I don’t know if you even remember me from Arcadia and Chanteurs. It’s been a long time. Looks like life has kept you very busy. I’d love to hear from you again. -Mary

What a wonderful, selfless woman your dear friend Ila is! I had tears in my eyes reading this, and how special she is to you.
I’m so glad you BOTH had that time together and made this special memory.

Just found out about your story through Tim’s blog and then your husband’s blog and wanted to tell you both congratulations on your new little one. Your stories have been a perfect gift today for me and a wonderful pick me up… Thanks for sharing your lives with all of us.

What a wonderful, selfless woman. I want to be like that too. I’m so excited for you and Jason about the baby. I can just imagine how high you are flying after all this time. I have friends who were told they couldn’t have children after he had testicular cancer. They tried adoption and “lost the baby” several times when the mother changed her mind after the birth. It was heatbreaking and they finally gave up. When they were both 40 (after 18 years of marriage) she got pregnant with their miracle baby. So I am celebrating with you wholeheartedly because I really do understand what a great thing this is for you.

What a special and wonderful woman! Glad to hear the shower was good, I’m sure you’ll send her an extra special thank you! And what a way to tease us with that peek at more projects from the class! I was working on my pre-class stuff just today and saying to myself “I think I need a zutter.”

I am so glad you enjoyed your first shower! What a wonderful woman! So funny, but my little sister Kendra was married on 11/8. What a neat coincidence!

Like Ila « The Art of Choosing Joy…

The first shower was for all of my mom’s friends – she kind of thinks that since she had to attend one of our procedure days for the invitro process that this is her baby, too! This shower was given by a woman who we knew when I was in ……
