I struggled with the same question of "how many kids do you have" after our 1st child, Grant, died 10 1/2 yrs ago (WOW it doesn't seem like it's been that long!). It didn't become an issue until his sister was born 10 months later. I promised after he died that I would never deny his existance. He lived. We now have two beautful girls, so now when people ask, my answer is always, "We've had 3 children. Our two girls live with us and our son lives in Heaven with Jesus." I leave it at that unless they ask questions. Then I'm more than happy to share his story and our testimonies (his included) :o)Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769161158969806570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654930027957371038.post-89420801038838122008-12-30T09:04:00.000-06:002008-12-30T09:04:00.000-06:00I still have a hard time with that question.

Why would it be any different? Not to mention that it gives you the opportunity for you to share your witness and testimony.<BR/><BR/>It touched us.

Two girls in jr high school and a 4 year old that went to join Jesus in October. I think if someone is uncomfortable with that, they'll let you know in someway they don't want to talk any further about it...but you should never be uncomfortable to talk about your two beautiful baby girls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654930027957371038.post-9611077211778532522008-12-10T15:22:00.000-06:002008-12-10T15:22:00.000-06:00I used to feel that way too when I had Josh, Desti...I used to feel that way too when I had Josh, Destinee, Cheyenne, you... I knew how to answer, sometimes I just didn't want to have to explain it all! My question to you is what stops you from saying 4?

It is still difficult for my aunt and uncle, but whenever they are asked how many kids they have, they proudly say "we have 3 children, but one passed away 13 years ago." You will forever be the mother of 4 beautiful girls (well, at least until you can say 5, or 6....), and it is okay to tell people. Remember, M & M touched many lives, why not let them continue to do so?

And that is ok to tell people. Especially if you are proud of what you accomplished by giving birth to those two beautiful babies who inhaled at birth. And you have every right to want to scream out your thoughts. It is still so new and raw, but you are amazingly strong. I think this post is one that affected me the most. Obviously, because it moved to post a comment.
