Anil Deo Date: 5/12/2020 4:33:00 AM I commiserate, applaud your having moved on, having grown more - not less - in faith, having the GREATEST OF "WHY GOD" questions.

Blessings, Jennifer.

Eve Roper Date: 5/11/2020 9:27:00 PM My heart aches for your pain,Jennifer, time might sooth a little of the pain, but it is always there.

I do relate with, "My darling muse helps me with all of this, why, Because we are one, identical twins who soar and fly!" Hugs my friend from a distant land Login to Reply Jennifer Proxenos Date: 5/12/2020 1:08:00 AM Thank-you Eve it was heartbreaking but i feel pregnant 6 months later and and eventually gave birth to a beautiful bouncing boy who is married for 4 years now - he is a young man, robust and strong with his own business. He is my world! Thank you for an overwhelming email Evie which made me cry also - I couldn't rest until I fell pregnant again and had an amniocentesis to confirm the baby was well - God was kind. Blessings my friend, Jennifer.
