Logan's Sisters: No People Allowed

No People Allowed

I'd better follow my last post up with something a bit more positive. Olivia, you see, doesn't like to play with dolls. For instance, she loves squinkies, but only the animal ones. We got her a dollhouse for her third birthday. She loves it, but has kicked out all of the people. You never know who is going to inhabit the house. Today? The big bad wolf is sleeping in the bed, squinkies are in the crib, and rabbit and cat (along with the family pets) are in the living room. Tiny, the dinosaur, is asleep in the kitchen. Oh the randomness of it all. Just a normal day in our house. LOL!

Amanda said...: The smiley face was a test run ;) sometimes I type a full comment and then it won't post. Of course when I do a smiley, it worked!
Wow! Where have I been?! There's like, 5 posts since I was on here just a couple days ago! :)
Please, never feel guilty about wanting to talk about and grieve for Logan. Unless someone has lost a child, there is no way anyone could understand. Even a miscarriage is different.. You had him for 31 days..you touched him, took pictures of him, and eventually held him.. I can't imagine you would forget any of those feelings even after 4 years... He was your beautiful baby boy! (I'll email you more later in private) ;)
As for Olivia's house. She cracks me up. Lol. Too funny there are no people! Haha. She's great. Just love her! Have you seen/does she have, the little bear people? I think theyre bears.. Hmm.. Anyways.. They're animals.. Lol.. And they have an entire house and stuff ya know.. But they're animals ;) she'd like that I'm sure. Darn, that's gonna drive me crazy thinking what they're called..?? Grrr..
Hope all is well in Kansas! Ben is getting his eye the 22nd! I've been waiting and waiting to do a full blown blog about retinoblastoma. But I wanted an "end" picture. From lazy eye, to patch, to lens, to eye!.. I hope this is the "end" anyways.. That's our prayer!!
Love you all!
Tell Olivia we all said hi :); December 7, 2011 at 1:56 PM
Amanda said...: Calico critters!! It's aaaall kinds of animals. Here we only have them at a "specialty" store. Like, learning express! Good luck! :); December 7, 2011 at 2:01 PM
Jodi said...: Haha! Yes, she's getting some Calico Critters for Christmas. She LOVES them. Wish we had known that when we bought her dollhouse, but who knew she wouldn't like people? Haha!; December 7, 2011 at 8:20 PM

Never Before

NEVER BEFORE
by Jodi Glunt

Never before have I known such love
As that which I feel in my heart.
My beautiful daughter, although physically petite
Fills up an enormous part.

Never before have I seen such strength
From a person who weighed but a pound.
And yet she’s a fighter through and through
With very little that gets her down.

Never before have I heard such laughter
With an energy and zest for life.
She consistently shows me the wonder and joy
While overlooking the pain and strife.

Never before have I felt such mercy
From a God who has allowed me to raise
This miraculous, amazing daughter of mine
On earth, throughout all of my days.

A micropreemie shattering every prediction
About the life she had in store.
Teaching us all about the miracles within us
That we never quite realized before.

Playing In Heaven Instead by Jodi Glunt

You were the perfect little boy
Of whom we always dreamed.
Did you know we had your name picked out?
All along or so it seemed.

You even had your daddy’s hands
So miniature in size.
In life we never got to hold you
Or even see your opened eyes.

We had so many plans for you.
Did you know you are a twin?
I wanted you to grow up together.
What a pair you would have been!

I wanted to take you to the park
And push you on the swing.
I wanted to teach you how to walk,
And read and write and sing.

I wanted to show you a fire truck
And let you ride upon a horse.
I wanted to take you to the zoo
To see the giraffes, of course.

I wanted you to watch cartoons
And play video games with dad.
And you and I would take a nap
Oh, the times we would have had.

But, your mommy’s plans were not to be.
“I have other plans,” God said.
“You won't be playing in life’s playground
You’ll be playing in heaven instead.”

And although I ache with sadness
And in my arms I long to hold.
I’ll see you again in heaven
When my story on earth’s been told.

A Poem

A thousand tiny fireflies
Parading through the night
Illuminate the starless skies
With incandescent light
They are miracles, here on earth
So bold, so strong, so wise
And bring to life a sense of worth
For those who lack great size.

Some of this life’s smaller treasures
Are the ones which matter more
Than the larger joys and pleasures
That we have grown to adore
Volume is not as essential
As the gift that lies inside
Smaller souls with much potential
Who shall never be denied.

A thousand tiny fireflies
Parading through the night
Illuminate the starless skies
With incandescent light
These children, while born premature
Are testaments of worth
Their spirits bold, their futures sure
To ever bless the earth.
