Finally writing my book!

My beautiful son Alexander passed away in 2003 from a congenital heart defect. It was the hardest time of my life and I still have my moments where it can be unbearable. The ladies here at Two Peas rallied around me and helped ease the pain of the loss that I was going through.

One thing that has helped me through the loss of my son is receiving the many signs that he has given me thougout the years. I have finally decided to fulfill my dream and write a book that collaborates various stories from people who have had signs from beyond, including my own personal story and signs from my beautiful son.

Up until now, I think the grief and pain was too fresh to write this book, but now it has been over eight years and I feel that this book will be extremely cathartic for myself and for others in a state of sadness and grief.

After my son died, I read a lot of books on the “afterlife” and experiences that people had with their loved ones after they passed away. These books made me feel like my son was closer than I realized and that all of the “signs” I had been given were not mere coincidence, but pure love from the other side.

In this book I will reveal many of the signs that my son has given me and explain his entire story. Alex’s life was only 22 days long, but his memory will live on forever and hopefully through this book, he will touch even more lives.

Please feel free to email me with any questions, and if you want to be a part of my book, I would love to have you! I appreciate and cherish each and every story that is given to me and will hold it in the highest regard.

Please email me your stories to be considered for publication in my book.

What a wonderful way to pay tribute to the ones we miss so dearly.

Missing my son on his birthday today…

me-holding-alex

Happy 6th Birthday my sweet Alex!

Today you would be six years old! So hard to imagine what you would look like. I bet you would be adorable and so much fun to play with. I hope you got the balloons we sent up to heaven to you today. Dad, Samantha and I all wish you were here with us. Life is not the same without you, Buddy….

Although you are gone, I am still so very grateful I am your mommy and you are my son.

My heart and my empty arms still ache for you, and probably always will.

I love you ALEX!

Always & Forever,
Mom

Feeling Sad =(

My sweet little baby girl is starting her first day of school tomorrow. Granted it is only Pre-K, but none the less, I am feeling quite sad that she has grown up so quickly.

I am happy that she is so excited and looking forward to it so eagerly, but I just can’t help to feel a strange sense of separation that I am not used to….just another milestone in the path of many more to come…..

I think I need to make a list:

1. I am grateful for my daughter being healthy and happy and ready to start school.

2. I am grateful Ed took me out to eat a LOT this past week.

3. I am sooo grateful Ed changed the litterbox tonight!!

4. I am grateful Ed made us breakfast this morning.

5. I am grateful I finished cleaning out one of the linen closets.

6. I am grateful Hurricane Gustov didn’t cause too many problems.

7. I am grateful I am healthy and safe.

8. I am grateful I got another person signed up for the Oct scrapbook retreat today!

9. I am grateful I sold some of my extra Stampin Up stuff!

10. I am grateful I have a lot of gas in my truck!

 

……….Looks like I don’t have much to be sad about….Ahhhhh, the power of GRATITUDE!!! ;)

 

 

Good night.

First Post!

Hello World!

I am a midwestern, thirty-something mom who has so much to be grateful for.

I have recently been interested in the “Law of Attraction” and how it works. Basically the concept is that if you think positive, then positive things will manifest in your life. I have been through a lot of tough times and sometimes it is hard to stay focused on being “positive”, but I am going to try my best to do so. That is why I decided to start a blog about all of the things I am grateful for to keep me on track.

These are just random things I am grateful for right now, there’s no specific order:

1. I am grateful for my health

2. I am grateful for my husband being a HARD worker

3. I am grateful for my mother who always helps me with Samantha

4. I am grateful for my beautiful Samantha for bringing a rainbow after the storm

5. I am grateful that I was blessed with my son, even if it was for only 22 days.

6. I am grateful that there is a beautiful place called heaven where my son waits for me

7. I am grateful I have a home that is comfortable and clean and I have more than enough materialistic things

8. I am grateful that I am creative

9. I am grateful that we took Samantha to see “Kung Fu Panda” and she has a fun time. It was so nice to spend the time with her doing something she enjoyed.

10. I am grateful for my beautiful cats Shadow and Tasha and for my fish in the fishtank. =)
