Sorry, I am still around.
Some days I sit at my computer desk and just stare at the screen until I finally get up and walk away.
But, I'm fine. Just trying to think of something insightful to say. It still hasn't come yet.

Blogging
I'm really in a blogging rut. I just don''t know what to post about sometimes. I am not avoiding posting I just don't know what to say that has not already been said.
Sorry, I am still around.
Some days I sit at my computer desk and just stare at the screen until I finally get up and walk away.
But, I'm fine. Just trying to think of something insightful to say. It still hasn't come yet.

I think about u often and catch up on your blog every few days. Just wanted you to know your an inspiration to me. You've taught me how to love my babies more then I ever thought I could :) I pray for you all the time. God bless you Kelli! You will blog again soon! You're just in a totally understandable "rut" I send you nothing but peace! xxoo <3
I may only be 17 years old but your page brings tears to my eyes each and every day. My heart aches for your loss. But I do believe you gave her the best 4 months she could have possibly had. And I know she's up in heaven smiling down on you. Stay strong.

I'm still reading!
sometimes when I feel like blogging, but have nothing specific to write, I just ramble. Or do a "randoms" post about the day, or "drink of the day" ;)
You'll blog again when you're ready!

Hi! Have you thought about doing theme days on your blog? It may give you something to write about. Something, that may not be so deep and in depth, but enough to keep yourself blogging in between the more deep posts.
For example: Must Have Mondays (You pick one thing that you really can't seem to live without and talk about it)
Top Two Tuesdays.... You pick the theme, your top two vacation spots, your top two restaurants. etc.
Don't ever doubt how strong you are!
Reading different books, listening to radio programs, going to bible studies, listening to friends interact...This is how I get things to blog about...even sermons! There is always so much to learn but I am sure your grief is still so deep that it must make it hard....I am so sorry. May God continue to give you daily strength.
I tried the awesome taco stuffed shells tonight, they were so good! Thanks for sharing!
We have our blog moments to where we can't think of anything to write about. I have them often. I finally joined some blog challenges to at least keep it up. Maybe you could start something like that for when you dont have nothing to write at times.
:)! I hope you find your blog motivation again soon.
Hi Kelli,
This morning I woke up and checked in on you as I so often do:) This was the morning I felt that I needed to post. I have followed your blog since Feb. 20th but have never posted before. I have shed many and tear and said a quick prayer for you and your family almost daily.
I apoligize in advance for the length and please feel free to not post or edit. I am a mother of 4, 3 boys and1 girl ranging in ages from 29 to 12 and I am expecting my first grandchild on Dec.8th so yep I am pretty much old :0 ha..
Kelli, first and foremost i just want to say I am so sorry for your loss and that i think that you have done an amazing thing by sharing you pain, joy and sorrows with so many. Maddie was absolutely beautiful and what a blessed little girl she was while she was with you. The love shines through on all sides...
I love your pictures and have enjoyed watching that journey with you. The bows and blocks are too cute and I need to order a set for the grandbaby. I know that your blog has made a difference in many lives in both small and large ways. I am amazed at how little I knew about SIDS and how I now really think about it and want to share the little knowledge that I have gained. Kelli, you, James and Maddie have made a difference and God is using you in a powerful way.
I am reminded on a daily basis to choose to try to be at my best when my kids are at their worst and to enjoy the blessing each day. The reality that you and so many others that have experienced the loss you have would welcome the dirty rooms, smart mouths and failing grades that often go along with a teenagers helps me to have "an attitude of gratitude" for the good and bad. Thank you for sharing you tears, joys and sorrows...you are an amazing young women and I know that God has great plans for you and you family. What a wise mom you will be when the time is right again!
With all of that.. what I really felt moved to share is... Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God.
It was the very first thing I thought of when I read your blog this morning. Just from the outside looking in... maybe this is the gift of the time of quiet. I know sometimes when life has been hard and busy God gives us a time of rest. It is something that is so foreign to us today. We are always filling every day and moment with as much as we can. When I was going through a really difficult time in my life my best friend gave me a pillow that said, "Sometimes God calms the storm, Sometimes he lets the storm rage and calms his child". I can only imagine that it has to feel like you have fought an impossible fight and ran an unending race, and while your reality will never change maybe this is the time of grief and healing that you can sit down and take a great big breath and "be still". Maybe sit outside by a tree or in a quite room with a candle and listen to your heart and God. M My pastor once told me that we pray and pray and pray but often fail to stop and silently listen and reflect. He challenged us to take 5 minutes of quiet to just "be still". I hope this suggestion is comforting and excepted as intended.. I dare not try to give advice or presume to ever know your life or feelings but I just felt compelled to write after 7 months of following and praying.
Kelli you have given so much to so many by sharing your life. We have cried with you and for you and again I thank you for helping me to be a more grateful person and mom.
The words you typed, Sorry, I am still around. I am fine, just trying to think of something insightful to say... say it all. I hope you know we are all here and praying and just the few words you typed are enough.
Blessing and prayers,
Kim
Hi Kellie! I know I'd love to see more of the recipies you have discovered. I can understand it being difficult to find something to write about, especially with being back to school. Just know, we're all out here supporting you and praying for you and James.

Your voice has been heard, sweet lady. I have learned so much about SIDS and have informed some of my friends who are having babies. The Lord is using YOU to help educate us about SIDS. Thank you for being brave and facing this "new normal" everyday. The Lord is using you as a hero. I hope you can find some comfort in that today!
It doesn't have to be insightful! You blog when you can. Sometimes words don't come or you may just feel like doing this:
alksehjroaije;vkahfgank;efadkf
I call that frustration type, in times new roman 12pt. font.
You are amazing, and we are all still here and supporting you on this journey, regardless of how often you post.
I've been thinking about Maddie's birthday. Every time I see a bow in a girl's hair, I think of Maddie. Have you thought about a bow-making party? Perhaps we could gather for a set time, make bows like crazy, and then donate them to NAM or other area organizations that help kids in poverty. Just a thought. Hugs to you.
I come often to check your blog to see how you are. Maybe you can write something to help me. I am a grandmother and our three and half month old grandson is going to be going to Day Care for the first time. I think about your beautiful daughter and it brings worries to me. They live on the
West coast and we are on the East coast--no way we can help them.
I will continue to come to your blog and continue to keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.
Love ya!
Just letting you know that I am still here reading, in support, with nothing wise to say ever. I think of your family often. You are incredibly strong and I pray for your happiness every day.
did you ever think about publishing your blogs into a book? I think you are such an inspiration. I'm not an author, but I love to read real books that I can relate to. I never lost a child but I know too many others who have. It's just nice for people to read and feel they are not alone. Your blog makes me smile and cry and I keep coming back to read more. I feel like I know Maddie, she was one amazing girl!!!!
