The Journey Begins

August 12, 2009 by Sarah

So this is my first official blog post. I have always thought blogging was sort of cool, but there was a part of me deep down that thought it was a bit cheesy posting all this stuff about yourself for the whole world to read. As if my life was interesting in any way – lol. Well, here I am, joining the blog world.

The world may not care to read what I post, but I find myself wanting to blog for 2 reasons. The first being that I want the world to meet my precious baby boy Andrew Ryan Eddins. He passed away and went to be with Jesus on August 7, 2009, but I want the world to see his pictures and hear about his precious life. I’ve only been a mommy for a week, but I am proud nonetheless! 🙂 The second reason I find myself here blogging is so I can document my thoughts, feelings, and emotions as God leads me through this healing process. So, although the journey really began years ago, my blogging journey begins here.

    Sarah I am thinking about you and I know you will make it thru this. I don't know if these 2 blogs I read will help you but they both lost babies last year. http://richandjenn.blogspot.com/

    I have enjoyed reading this and feel as though maybe I will start a blog as well. Life takes us down these crazy roads and sometimes it is too easy to forget the details of the journeys we have taken. I hope that this blog helps you remember every amazing detail of life…..
