It has been kind of a heavy week emotionally here...so I'm grateful for Carly's lighthearted Under the Tree this month and thought I'd participate! I hope while you are here that you will scroll down a couple posts and read Walking With You. Take some time to visit the courageous mothers who are walking this path and leave them an encouraging comment. Bless you all...and now, please enjoy some insignificant facts about me for your reading pleasure...or something like that!

Favorite restaurant: I love eating out, but don't do it often...like different places for different things. PF Changs for Chinese...Biaggi's for Italian...Cracker Barrel or Cheddars for home cookin', Chili's for a mushroom burger, and Cooker's steak...and fast food for a junk food fix
This or That

Cried during a movie: Ummm...yes
Describe yourself in one word: Redeemed

Biggest mistake: I am Lucy...you know Ricky and Lucy...I'm Lucy...always messing up. Glad my husband is full of grace...and he still thinks I'm cute.
Your proudest accomplishment: Can't take credit for it...guess I'd rather say the thing I'm most grateful for...the beauty God has made from ashes in our lives...that He has preserved and blessed our marriage.

Famous person you want to meet: Most of the people I long to meet are in heaven...no one famous is coming to mind. Can't wait to literally sit at the feet of Jesus one day...and hold my sweet babes in my arms...and to sit laughing with my mom on the front porch of her cottage "mansion".
Song to be played at your funeral: I'll have to think on this one...something full of the hope of heaven...'cause that's where I'll be!

I like learning more about you. Some of your comments are rather similar to what I would post.
It has been a tough week, for quite a few of us I think....But because God is so good and always with us it makes them easier to handle, those tough days. I am leaning so heavily on him these days...and it is something that has surprised me because I never thought that something like this would bring me closer to him. I figured it would shred my faith to pieces.....Funny how things never go the way you expect them to. Of course, God is not surprised by this, my clinging....He knew all along....
I enjoyed learning some fun facts about you! Praying you will have "lighter" days ahead and His peace and love will fill your heart.
Love,
Tonya
I am a new blogger. My heart has been following women who have lost children. I was told about Maddie and I have been jumping around from comments to meet new people.
I found Carly one day and was so impressed. I came here from Tina today. I look forward to reading more about you on your blog if that is okay with you. I agree with your Dorito comment, just bought a bag last night. I'm into the pizza/ranch mix. I have a bad habit of running my "fingers" longer than I should. I have a new web site and would like to put your button there if it's okay with you. Also, did someone make your button?
Please visit me at my other blog, where my heart is:

I got full of tears when I read about you holding your sweet babies in heaven. That will be a glorious day!
Thank you for the loving comment that you left on my post. It really meant a lot to me.
I'm sorry it's been a heavy week for you, it is nice to have just lighthearted things sometimes to focus on.
I love your one word description!!
It's me again. I went over to see your site, what a wonderful gesture and gift. I made a donation and just want to tell you how sorry I am for the loss you have experience. God Bless
Oh Kelly, you and those Doritos... Maybe I should buy some stocks? lol I loved reading these little tidbits about you and I hope that the heaviness you've been experiencing lifts in this coming week. (((hugs)))
That was fun--it was light and lighthearted fun things are such good medicine or grief and the entire journey!!! Thanks for the reminder o how simple God's healing and grace can be--He gives us so much joy and when reading that post, I read LOTS of joy :)!!! I have to tell you--I am TERRIFIED of cats and my dear friends and family :), always make fun of me--their hissing, claws, I don't know they just totally scare me--glad to find a kindred spirit with that one :) Blessings to you this week!
Some of those answers were just beautiful, Kelly. But um... did you just say you've NEVER HAD COFFEE?

One sweet day will hold our babies again :)
Thank you for visiting all the women who meet under the tree :) Your warmth and kindness spills from your comments.
My love to you xx
Thank you for the prayers ♥
Sweet Kelly I prayed for you this morning when John and I did our devotions.
Sorry your heart has been heavy this last week.
Loved your little list of things,...and I am kind of afraid of cats too. Always have been.
I can't believe you have never had coffee. No big deal,...just interesting. ((smile))
I am so glad that I found you in Blog Land. You are special to me and to so many of us.
Blessings! Linda
