    I was just listening to you on stories and I wish I could give you the biggest hug. The Lord often puts you on my heart and I pray for you, matter fact the last two weeks I have thought about you a lot and he just keeps putting you there so I’m praying for you sweet Liz and Jose too. I had lost two babies when I found a stuffed Peter Rabbit he was wearing his little blue coat and there was also a little flopsy wearing a little pink dress at least I think it was flopsy, but I looked at my husband and was holding Peter Rabbit and said I just have to have it and he was looking at me like what are you going to do with it and I said it was just one of those things that I couldn’t let go and so I brought him home and went back and picked up flopsy I still have them 30 + years later. When I was a little girl, the Beatrix Potter books were a huge part of my life. My parents worked 7 days a week and my older sister and I would go to the library which was actually a long way away for two little girls to walk but we spent a lot of time there and my favorite were the Beatrice Potter books. Now I’m being honest with you I wasn’t even 5 and I would sit there holding those tiny books and make up all kinds of stories based on the illustrations. I would just go sit in a corner and quietly talk out loud to myself about the adventures I thought were happening. One day the librarian Hood been noticing me came over and asked me if she would like me to have her read those stories to me. Of course I was thrilled, and so for the very first time I got to hear The Tale of Peter Rabbit! I was transfixed and I cried because it was so sweet and I loved it so much and her kindness was something that was rare in my life. She was one of the first people to foster my love of reading and definitely my love for Beatrix Potter. I never outgrew that love, I have the set of little books I have a couple figurines and I love it all to this day. So you were resonating with me big time today dear Liz, and I’m crying buckets not for me or the little girl that I was, but because there’s an affinity in our Sisterhood as Christians and as women who have lost babies, and also because I can’t really explain it but I have just loved you and thought of you and wept over you and your losses. You’re vulnerability is so real and you don’t mince how you’re doing. You have every right to be down and has nothing to do with your faith. I just want you to know that I get it, that I really deeply, deeply get it and I’m going to be continuing to pray for you and intercede for you and if there is any encouragement in The Fellowship of suffering then let it be so. I can tell you because I have a lot of years on you that I see some of the work of the Lord through all the pain and suffering, and the empathy that he can bring through it but a lot of it I don’t think we’ll know this side of Heaven. I love you! And I’m praying and I’m believing for that baby! Hugs, your friend Dee
