A Young Wife’s Tale

*I have never experienced the loss of a child, but this post was just so beautiful, I had to share. Check out Raising Arrows Is There Anything Worse Than This?

*One night last week, David says I yelled in my sleep, “I will not let my best friend die for my best activity!” I have no idea what I was dreaming about. David said he is pleased that even in my dreams I’m making good moral choices.

Christmas 2009 was great! Christmas Eve morning, David and I slept in. I made smoothies for breakfast, and we had just settled on the couch to drink them and watch a Christmas movie when my mother called. The weather man was reporting that Dallas would have whiteout conditions by noon, and we needed to head to the suburb where both my parents and in-laws live so we wouldn’t have to drive on the freeway once the storm hit. David and I threw our clothes (some of mine dirty) in a suitcase, as well as all of our stuff to bake cookies, and two dogs since we were dog sitting for our friends.
