Too Good To Be True!
These thoughts resurfaced in my head this week as I have thought about my little Rachel. When a good friend of mine asked me how Motherhood was shortly after Rachel was born, those were my words..."Too Good To Be True!" - apparently it was!
As I ponder my wonderful life and feel very blessed and thankful for what God has given me, I can't help but reflect back on a big part of my happiness. I have never, ever, ever, ever been as happy as I was when I had Rachel. I treasured every single minute with her and am glad I did.
I'm sure those reading this are thinking, "What is rest of your family...chopped liver!?". No, they aren't. They are very much loved and bring me tons of happiness. Just my thought for the moment....
I love you and miss you, my little Peanut!
What a sweet beautiful picture! I'm glad you have wonderful memories of her to share.

This is a beautiful picture Karen. I love it. And your post in honest and touching. One child cannot replace another. And although we know you love your husband and kids deeply and they give you so much happiness...there will always be the hint of shadow from Rachel's loss. You will never again have the innocent assumption that you will outlive your babies, as we all should be so blessed to do. You are painfully aware of the fragility of life. Praying that God continues to comfort you and show you unexpected moments of joy and happiness in each day as you remember Rachel and take care of your babies and husband.
