I was in the computer lab at school with tears streaming down my face as I read and saw the grief and the beauty in the story. Now every time I visit the blog I think of Duncan, every time I see his tree in the back yard at church, and every time I hear the song Blessed be Your Name. I feel like I got a huge glimpse of what you guys experience (and continue to experience) but of course will never know the half of it. But I do thank you for letting your readers in on such a time as that. It is a joy to watch Erin and Seth grow up... Duncan is never far from many people's thoughts.

I cannot imagine what you've been through over the past few years. So many times I've wanted to write something, but I haven't. I don't write as eloquently as you, and sometimes I wonder if what I really think will come out right. Sometimes other people have already said such good things that are worded so perfectly that my thoughts will sound copied or a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. <br /><br />I always thought of you like a little sister, and our lives just went in different directions. Duncan shares my son's birthday, and I want to remember him. I love the picture of the tile that you posted on your blog. I printed the picture so I'd have a copy. You and your dad have always been special to me. Duncan will always be special, too.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12634227105652879932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659002609114323697.post-8698816985234330122011-02-02T19:25:01.081-05:002011-02-02T19:25:01.081-05:00Everytime I hear the name Duncan I think of him an...Everytime I hear the name Duncan I think of him and remember your family.

Whenever I see "The Writer Chic", I think...DUNCAN'S MOMMY. That's who you are to me. It's just my own issues of not being able to get pregnant again after Nate that prevents me from giving you more support. For that I am sorry. I am working on it.<br /><br /><br />I do know what you mean by not wanting your child to be forgotten. I feel the same way. I want the world to know that I'm Nate's mommy too!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />TrishaTrisha Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426915708825675793noreply@blogger.com
