So after fighting all those thoughts I did it! Before this weekend, the furthest I have ever driven alone would probably be 2 to 2 1/2 hours. But this weekend, I drove the 5 plus hours to Columbus!
BUT- If I never hear the word "re-routing" again it will be too soon!
The weather stayed clear (with the exception of when I was driving through Cincinnati) and then I had the view of this partial rainbow for over a hour!
Erin called me when I was about a hour away and it really started to sink in. I made it to her house at around 8:30 (I think) and we hugged and talked. Her and her husband (and their lovely doggies) made me feel so welcome! We talked about our babies and our lives. I must say, it was quite a relief to talk in person to some one who "gets it". I didn't have to wonder if she was judging me and my grief. She is where I am. We were there together. I found myself in those moments of relief once again that I had when I first discovered the blog world and the loss moms who made it a home away from home.
It never ceases to amaze me how God brings people into our lives.
And I truely feel He brought all of us together to carry each other's burdens.
He knew we could not walk this road alone.
(I'll post about the first day of the conference tomorrow!)

you are my monkey:-) lol! I was just thinking tonight how great it was to sit there and talk to you girls about our babies, and funerals, and grief and not feel judged! Even Dave was getting into the conversation, which in any other circumstance he feels uncomfortable talking about this stuff! he seemed at ease around you ladies!
How wonderful for you all to meet!! I'm jealous! ;)
More, glad that you were able to be blessed by WOF. It was life-changing for me last year!!!!

You were so brave! And, you're my monkey, too! I am a bit bummed that I missed the special time at Erin's with all of you. But, so glad that you ladies shared that time.
Love to you...
I love being among my much loved babylost friends!!
