Blogs. There are so many of them out there today and the plethora of topics that each one is on can seem to never end.
After my daughter pasted, my grief ran so deep. I bought a new diary (yes, I still call my journal a diary 🙂 ) to write all those thoughts constantly swimming around in my head. I needed an outlet to be able to just vent. Then approximately three months later I had all those words I just had to get written down. So I sat down at my dining room table and began to write those words floating around in my mind. I then decided to start a website in honor of my daughter and thus was born mommysangelinheaven.com.
I’ve never thought of my daughter’s site as a blog, yet I know that’s exactly what it is. Those words I wrote down became that very first entry. I can look back and read what I wrote and see the raw emotion I put into it. It’s something I never thought I’d be able to do yet through my grief I’ve been able to express things in a way I never expected. My daughter will forever be missed. I’ve been blessed with this gift of writing and I will be forever grateful for that. Here’s a link to that first post. Please let me know what your thoughts are on it. My hope is that the words were able to convey the grief I’d been feeling at the time. http://mommysangelinheaven.com/2008/10/21/we-miss-her-so-much.
Here is a picture of my beloved baby girl as well as a picture of where she was buried.

God Bless you Kristena….I lost my 3-1/2 year old goddaughter and although the loss was excruciating to me, it was devastating to her mom (my best friend). Thank you for sharing your touching post. She indeed is an angel…

Thank you Patti for your kind words. I feel for your best friend as I so know what she is going through, and also for you as the loss of a child hits all of us so differently. The loss of my daughter affected my husband’s youngest brother in such a negative way he has totally turned away from God. He has a lot of anger issues. We are praying for him that he will come to know the Lord and to see how so many blessing have come out of losing her. Yes, we all miss her but she is in a better place. Thank you again for leaving your comments. They mean so much and have touched me.
