Lori, I've been silently following your story…your life…for quite some time. Throughout this time you've had me laughing, nodding in agreement, crying, smiling, and giving you mental high-fives whenever you reach another milestone. This time I felt a strong urge to post a comment (and I've never commented on a blog before)…to give you a type-written high-five. I loved your article. It was your journey of late in one beautiful, touching nutshell. Youve been an inspiration to me. Thankyou.

What a beautiful and heartbreaking post. I can't imagine the comfort you are giving to people who are in a similar situation. You're amazing.
Sidenote – do you know that baby powder gets sand off children quickly and easily? When you get the kiddos back to the parking lot, strip 'em down to their diapers and sprinkle them with baby powder – the sand wipes right off. it's magic :)

… Stupid ipad posted befre I finished… Tragedy strikes, they do nothing but throw stones, feel uncomfortable and awkward. As an excuse for why they do nothing they bandy about 'the sympathy train'. Pfffft. Bullying people into keeping all negative and unhappy thoughts to themselves contributes to suicide. We tell people they need to talk when depressed, to cry out for help, not botte it up til they implode. Yet when they do others condemn them. These 'mates' need to have a real think about their behaviour. xx

So beautifully written Lori.

Your kids will be proud of all of your writing, but this is one I hope you print for them to keep with their childhood memories. I know you miss your family of four, but you have become a beautiful family of three. Proud of you xx
