One word defines it all. It is that moment in time when even breathing becomes difficult. Everything that once was, is not. And everything that will be, is unclear. It's when your trust has been broken, your emotions shattered, and your mindset has become scattered. With each painful breath you know that if you take this one, you'll have to take another. You don't even want to get better because the process of getting better and facing the situation that got you in this position in the first place is more painful than even the sorrow you are feeling now. One word. Defeat. One of the greatest examples of a man who experienced defeat was the Prophet Noah.
Allah commanded Noah `alayhi assalam (peace be upon him) to go to his people and call them to the right path. As an obedient slave and someone whose passion and life lied in working towards Allah's cause, he did it. He went out to his people, those whom he had been living along side for so long, and called them to the way of Allah:
He said "Ya Qawmi," my people, "I am a clear warner for you." (Qur'an, 71:2)
From this we see that this was not just any group of people; they were people who were near and dear to his heart. He associated himself with this group. He tried to convince them:
"Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me." (71:3)
He tried to entice them with hopes of reward and remind them that their abode here in this life was quite temporary.
"Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time set by Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if only you knew." (71:4)
One can only imagine the sense of urgency that Noah (as) felt and the emotional effects of having those whom he associated himself with, turn their backs to him. However they did not simply turn their backs on him, they went further than that. Allah says concerning them in the Qur'an,
"The people of Noah denied before them, and they denied our servant and said, 'A madman,' and he was repelled." (54:9)
They called him names; they attempted to degrade this righteous servant of Allah, trying to break him emotionally and psychologically. He was frustrated with their emotional schemes and tactics. His description of the reactions they had towards his clear intended warnings is no less than heart breaking.
"He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day." (71:5)
There was not a moment in which he did not try to guide them to the right path. What was their response to his relentless efforts?
"And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance." (71:7)
Even after all this torment, Noah (as) didn't give up.
He says that he invited them publically, and when this failed he tried convincing them secretly. Noah (as) didn't want to even leave a crack for Shaytan to slip through. Any opportunity that could have been seized was taken. After years and years of putting forth his best foot only to have it stomped on by the ones whom he once loved, Noah (as) felt defeat.
But the question is: what did he do? Did he cower into a cave and simply cry himself to sleep thinking, "Why me?" Did he decide to conform and live with the insecurities of his people? No. Rather he looked up to the heavens, to the One whom he knew had all the power with Him, and he called out with words that put the aching heart at peace.
"So he invoked his Lord, 'Indeed, I am overpowered, so help.'" (54:10)
The answer to Nuh's du`a' came from the sky – drawing out the story that we all know as "Noah's Ark."
A lesson to be learned from this righteous and beloved Prophet is that when the world and those people who are in it push you to your knees – you are in the perfect position to pray.
Ramadan Mubarak!
8 Comments
Short and useful: excellent mash'Allah.
Salaam u alaikum
I don't think defeat would be quite the word to describe Nuh (AS) state but it should be "saddened" because though he couldn't be a means by which Allah could have guided a majority of his people, he still was victorious because he was amongst those who are near to Allah and will be raised amongst the best of creation, Muhammad SAW.
In the ayah that was quoted above Nuh says "أني مغلوب فانتصر". According to tafseer sa'di this was referring to the "lack of power he had to become victorious and bring his people back to the truth because only a few people from his qawm had believed." The word "مغلوب" actually means to be defeated or overcome.
However you mad a good point! He was victorious in the end because of the victory Allah granted Him. Similarly, even when we feel 'defeated' in this life, we too still can be victorious by the will of Allah–if not in this life, then the next–as long as we turn to Allah as Nuh alayhisalam did (and that was exactly the point of this piece! )
Your Sister,
Reehab Ramadan -
absolutly beautiful. Jazaki Allahu khayran
Beautiful. That du'a is actually one of my favorites, and perhaps a 'benefit' of being tested is that you do truly feel the du'a and the emotions behind it.
JazakiAllah khair!
MashaAllaah, amazing amazing post. The story of Nuh (alayhis salaam) is one of my favorites.
"When the world pushes you to your knees – you are in the perfect position to pray." Amazing.
One of my favorite story and post. please do post more about our prophets. Assalamualaikum

Cloudy approach into Tsinga, Papua |
Typical wet season clouds in Papua |
Fog on the ground at Bilogai, Papua |
Sinak airstrip is down there somewhere... |
Obviously the weather and approach are things you have to judge on a case by case basis there are some places you just cannot get to unless the whole approach and valley are clear. There's also days when the weather is just far to poor to even think about descending into a valley for risk of ending up in a cloud or worse. However, on those marginal days I find this rule a handy way of keeping track of how long I've spent attempting to land and ensures I don't do something silly. I'm sure many pilots have similar rules they set themselves but I thought I'd share mine on the off-chance it helps stop a fellow pilot doing something silly whilst attempting a landing.

Reliving it, again…
Thursday, February 27, 2014
One week til 5 years
I've been watching the ticker again. Capturing photos of the would be milestones of three little girls prepping for their 5th birthday and wondering how crazy I'd be. Am I ever going to stop doing this? No...even if this blog is gone Ill still make a ticker somewhere or flag myself on some form of media.
I remember when perseverance was trying to get one foot in front of the other, from bed to bathroom or bed to kitchen..."just go easy on yourself". Ha. Easy. Yeah, nothing to it. I know, I know, this sounds like it's going negative, and honestly it could, very easily. Today I chose not to, because someone might be reading a need a lift, might need to hear that you can survive after losing your babies. Key word, survive. Perseverance (& a patient husband, family and friends) pulled me up about 6 months after losing the girls to start my other blog and my longing to try IVF again for an earth baby, but that is another story. It's interesting to see how many things actually pop out at you in life after loss...and why I bring up "perseverance". At work today they hung artwork, standard corporate stuff, but one I am going to see a lot of is the one with the word persevere on it...never mind the rest of the corporate !%+*¥$!, I just needed that ONE WORD to get me through the day, and may help in many other days. May you see your 'signs' when you need them most, and know you aren't alone.
Love, Nan
Edit 2/28/14: Went to work today, saw the sign again...funny thing it actually said "persistence" and not "perseverance"! Crazy what I wanted to see, thought I saw, and actually saw. My mind is beautifully complicated and amazing for showing me the protections I need when these harder times approach. It reminds me to ride the grief waves as graceful as possible, and allow myself to fall if necessary.

March of Dimes…do or don't…
Tuesday, February 4, 2014
Screaming Silently
She screams silently inside
Pleasing everyone alive
She weeps for little ones above
And now has trouble showing love
The outside shell is now cracked
Anything that seeps in makes her feel attacked
What does she do to make it through
She keeps on hanging on like glue
One foot in front of the other, so they say
But it's never good enough for them to see her make it through the day
The grieving Mom she cannot hide
So she screams silently inside

Bye 2012
There is nothing like a good old blog post. I have missed blogging since I found FB this year, where I spew off a quick tiny rant to get something quickly off my chest, or post something adorable on Autumn's milestones. Still, FB can never replace writing your heart out on here. I am going to make an effort to blog more and connect again with old bloggie friends and continue to make new ones in 2013. If you want to connect with me on FB and haven't yet, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We haven't been sleeping. Rather, Autumn isn't sleeping well which in turn makes us not sleep well. I love to get up and see her but sometimes it does take its toll when it's all night back and forth and you have to work the next day (not bitching!). Autumn has a 2 & ½ year checkup in January so we will address it with the doctor to see if they have suggestions. Still, I'm forever grateful for being the parent of a rainbow and getting the chance to parent a living child. With that comes some enhanced anxiety that I've never experienced before. I've always had panic attacks, and depression bouts. Now the panic attacks have upped in intensity with new symptoms of vertigo and numbing arms. Once I was able to recognize it, I was able to address it. In 2013, it looks like I will be working on "me" again, with returning to the psychologist and playing with getting a medication suitable to my needs. 'All I want' is to be ever present in the moment and be ok for Autumn and my family. Struggling has always been there since losing the girls, it just gets buried deep down when you are busy, and needs to surface more or I cry more. People think you are ok, but in the background you are planning what you will do for their next birthday in Heaven, etc. (Yes, I am doing that)
I find myself watching a movie with Autumn and crying so hard, half mixed with joy that I am actually watching a movie with her, and the other is that the movie will strike a chord with my loss and the aftermath. I cried watching Tangled…I cried watching Beauty and the Beast…I cried most recently watching Annie, wishing I could reach into that orphanage and adopt a child as easily as Daddy Warbucks could. Avoiding movies isn't going to happen. I do however, avoid ALL music on the radio unless its kids songs with Autumn in the car.
Some people might think 4 years is a long time and that I should not be where I am mentally. To those people I say unless you have been in my shoes do not judge. There are many highs and many lows which will be forever. Ask the Mom who lost her daughter 30+ years ago if she does not remember or honor her in some way and weep for them. Ask the sister who lost a baby sister if she does not remember the childhood memory of crying at school 60 years ago and the teacher giving her a hard time about it. You just don't forget. You don't forget any loss for that matter. I feel NO PEACE with the thought of a child passing or that my children are in Heaven, except with the thought that they might be with loved ones. I was an absolute wreck for days after hearing about the CT school shooting, horrified for those parents and what is to come for them and their families forever and what those children went through. I will not go into more detail about it, but at one point for my own sanity I had to shut it out, turn it all off because I could not handle the sorrow. I am sure I am not alone in that.
In 2013 I will continue to heal, continue to fight, and continue to be here. I'm always here. That's all we can really do when we are still trying to parent children even though they are in Heaven, and if we are lucky, parent a child on Earth too. The perspective of that thought has never been more eye-opening to me than now. I can't do enough for ALL of my children.
Much love, and hoping 2013 is a happy or better one for you all.

3 years post due date
Tonight, after the house settled (sort of!), I managed to make my way out to the babies' garden, water the plants who are starving for water on these hot humid summer days, and reflect. From the picture above you can see when it starts getting dark, we have some solar lights wrapped around the tree, 3 butterflies that light up and change colors and also our original turtle that holds a butterfly that lights up from the early days of the garden making began. There is so much love and significance going on in this little corner of my yard/world, and I am grateful I am able to go out there and think of them, even though it hurts, and it helps, and it makes me miss them more, and it makes me feel their presence.
I know, regardless of my losing them at 20 weeks, I still stick to the due due of 40 weeks even though a normal triplet pregnancy is not 40 weeks. Its was still the date I was given at the very beginning and I tie it to them forever.
I had a memory while I was out there tonight. Do you see the picture on my profile? Well that was taken the very night we did our HCG trigger shot that eventually brought us our baby girls. We were at a restaurant because it was my Mom's 70th birthday and me and my sister went into the very lovely ladies room (I know, so idyllic!) and she administered my shot exactly at 7:30. That night was also the night the Phillies won the world series, a present to my Mom no doubt as she is a great fan. Mike and I had an argument on the way home and I can't even remember why, probably medication and hormones from the cycle. So many things went on in just a matter of hours that night. I look at that profile picture and I see a person I don't know alot about anymore. I look at how young she still looked, and how weathered I look now. I see a naive person in that picture, who was on her 2nd IVF cycle praying for a BFP, and when I got it, had no idea about babyloss or that babies died. Naive idiot. A person who kept getting excellent progress reports and couldn't wait to keep growing and growing and wondered how big I would get with 3 babies and a 4'11" body to hold them. It stings, not as harshly, but it still stings and brings the tears.
No doubt, I am the only one who remembers this date. Im ok with that, where in years past, I wasn't ok with that because it made me feel as though no one cared about my babies and wanted me to move on. I think most people know Im not "moving on" by now, and that this is forever. I am surviving, and I am still standing and persevering. I do not want to hear I should be happy Autumn is here, as that is a given, and she never "replaced" my triplets, she is her own person and things just do not work that way in this situation. These beautiful girls are a part of lives forever, my firstborn children...and Autumn will always have 3 big sisters in Heaven.
So many more thoughts in my head, but I must sleep. I still haven't dreamt about the girls in a positive way yet, I know someday I will, and I hope someday they are in my dreams, but for now they are forever in my heart.
Love, Nan xoxoxo
Shelby, Megan and Lynne,
You were, and still are, more wanted and loved by us so much. My dreams for you to be here never end, and my arms will always ache for what could have been. We love you always.

Bargaining with Yourself
I've started to recognize when things are coming to a head (about to burst!) and I can sometimes stop it before I completely blow up. Dare I say, even have a little bit of control. In my last post I said I wanted control. In a way I have it, but not in the sense that I was speaking because I wanted control to have my girls on earth. But to recognize your signs of getting too low and needing to come up for air, is really a feat in my world.
I'm also learning a few new ways to bring the girls' memory more into our daily lives, like singing with Autumn at night and including their names, we also like to say goodnight to the "Sissies in the Sky". I love playing in the garden with Autumn and seeing how much she loves to pick their flowers and give them to me.
I have lots of pictures of the garden, here is a link if you would like to see them from first blooms to lots of blooms. I will be updating my other blog soon too with pictures of Autumn playing in it, she does love to go over there and I can't wait to make it bigger! There will definitely be a new section before the end of the summer, I really need to move some extra mulch we bought!
Praying you all feel a little peace and have a nice weekend. And if I haven't commented on your blogs for a while, please know I'm not out of your loop, I still read I'm just not always able to comment, especially from my crappy phone!!!
Love always, Nan xoxoxo

Little tugs
I'm realizing that when you have time to stop, slow down and think about things and how your own life has unfolded after a sea of storms, you then realize why you have kept yourself so incessantly busy for days, weeks and months. But I NEED this. I need to write. I need to keep a check on myself, and touching the keyboard keys helps me touch them. Wearing my memorial jewelry helps me touch them. Working in my garden helps me touch them. I need something tangible. Because I miss them and I want to see those sweet would-be 3 year olds running, playing and spinning in circles around me. Never doubt, I am so grateful for my hubby and rainbow, but always missing my sweet trio. Love to the sky and always sweet baby girls...
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring,
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason,
You're my only truth
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far

Tuesday Link Up and Donations to Hospitals
About two years ago on my girls first birthday in Heaven, I was fumbling around a lot trying to figure out what I wanted to do. One of the things I came up with (I think by suggestion of another BLM but I cannot remember, sorry, it was fuzzy back then!) was donating K.leenex tissues to the local hospital I delivered the babies at. I remember my Mom bringing me some soft tissues because the hospital boxes (although helpful and purposeful) were scratching my face from all of the tears and would only last about all of five minutes. I had a few BLM's contact me via email or this blog saying thank you for the tissues, and it made me feel good that I could help another grieving parent in a small/big way by letting them know they aren't alone. We also donated them last year as well, but this year we were down the shore over a longer period of time and didn't get around to it. I was recently contacted by the hospital (I always leave my contact info if they want to ask for more donations) asking if I was still doing this, and if so they could really use them. My heart sank and sung at the same time reading that email, as I could tell there must have been a surge in losses, but at the same time to know that the nurses were using all of these resources to get more comfort to grieving parents, was just bittersweet. So, I will be getting another lot of tissues over there shortly. I also asked what else they could use and I will share once I hear back in case anyone is interested. But if you are thinking of doing something in honor of your baby or babies, and know if your local hospital is in need of something to comfort another bereaved parent, think about contacting the nurse manager in labor and delivery and they may be able to point you in the right direction. Some hospitals aren't well equipped to handle this, but with your help in donations and/or awareness, no matter how big or small, you can make a difference. I always put a label with my blog link and forum link on the boxes as well, just in case they see it and can find a place to start. When I first lost my girls, writing on my blog was so comforting, along with finding forums and the help of a psychologist, and it stills helps to this day, even though I am not online as much as I would like to be. I don't even know how I found my way to the internet after such a horrific raw time, but I am forever grateful.
May you have a lovely day, full of love and light. Love, Nan xoxoxo

Tuesday Link-Up With Tesha
Welcome to those of you linking up with Tesha's blog or just finding my blog for the first time.
I am Nan, and I lost my triplet daughters a little over 3 years ago. If you read the link "Our Story" on the right side on my blog, you will read a very early account of my feelings in very raw grief. Time has softened those rough edges, but there are days when I still need to cry an ugly cry, or just cry all day in spurts and stay in bed, and miss my babies terribly. I have learned that this is forever, and the road can be hard to navigate, but I know someday I will be with my precious girls again.
It has been very much a roller coaster ride, but through the strength of meeting other Moms who have gone through losing a child or children, I have persevered. I was able to go through one more attempt at IVF and very luckily conceive my rainbow baby Autumn, who is my world. If you want to learn more about Autumn and my struggle to get her here safe, I do have another blog, you can click here to read.
I appreciate the fact that Tesha linked up to Infertility Awareness week as well, as I like to bring awareness that not everyone can get pregnant on their own. To have any kind of treatment is very expensive and is not a guaranteed pregnancy. I wrote about it on my short post yesterday if you want to read it, but I have gone through three IVF attempts, which the 1st one we did not get pregnant, the 2nd one brought us our triplet girls in Heaven, and the 3rd one brought us our earthly baby Autumn. These processes can be so daunting, but also so worth it. I know I could not have gone through our 3rd attempt without the love, support and encouragement of my fellow loss mommies and daddies, and I very much love this community of beautiful men and women.
One more point I wanted to make. I only met Tesha about a week ago, and already I feel an instant connection with her. We met through Kelly's Korner blog link up, so I firmly believe that these link ups work and bring many of us together to help and support eachother. Please visit Tesha's site if you have not already done so, and send her love and support. She lost her precious Jonathan just 3 short months ago today. Oddly enough, 3 months after I lost my girls, is when I "met" Kelly from Kelly's Korner, who kindly helped me promote our Forum for Grieving Dads. This morning, I looked back at my journey at 3 month posts from June 2009 and saw so much of myself in Tesha and where she is now. Everyone's road is different, but we are all in this together. Tesha, I hope the day is gentle on you and I'm thinking of Jonathan with you today on his 3 month angelversary, big hugs.
May you all have a good day, and feel lifted with support and close to your children in Heaven today and always.
Much love, Nan xoxoxo

Infertility Awareness...
Way too many of us struggle with infertility in this world. I was fortunate in one aspect that I had one of the very few state mandated insurances that cover 4 IVF trials (NJ), which was the only way I was able to conceive my children. I don't like the fact that insurance dictated my ability to try though, and we lost that insurance two years ago, so no more trying for us. But, with awareness and spreading the word, we can try and get all states to mandate fertility coverage through insurance plans...please pass this message along!!!

How we remembered our baby girls on their 3rd birthday
Here is the link to the pictures we took over the weekend and on their birthday. CLICK HERE if you wish to see.
What was different this year than years prior, is that I was 'fine', until their actual Birthday day came, and I was a crying mess most of the day. I felt like I was re-living the hours again, and I remember EVERYTHING like it was yesterday, almost minute for minute. I don't have to write down a thing, not even a minor detail ever seems to fade away. Years prior, it was all of those days leading up that were hard and then the actual day was peaceful. Complete opposite! This road never seems to take the same path, so I figure I would write it down to remember that when I ask myself 'WTF' next year! I wonder what Autumn will say when she is old enough to understand that I'm crying, I hope I can keep it together for her and keep making more beautiful peaceful memories each year for her big sisters. Anyway, just wanted to share. Thank you for all of your thoughts, prayers, love and support...always, I will always remember how everyone helps lift me up, and I can only hope I do the same for you all.
Love, Nan xxxooo

One Month Til They Turn 3 in Heaven
The past two years we have found ourselves drawn to the beach, maybe its an attachment to their names in the sand or the waves representing the roller coaster ride it's been since losing them, or just being away in a quiet spot (quite frankly its cold and no one is there, and I like it that way!). Last year we forgot to bring the urn with us and had to come home early, so I will be sure not to forget to do that. Regardless, Mike and I both feel that their birthday is our time to reflect and be by ourselves away from everyone, without any influences or pressure, except now we get to share it with Autumn, which is still so bittersweet. Another thing I am planning is trying to finish their scrapbook that we started on their first birthday. I have to give a huge thank you to Meredith's Mommy, Sarita for sending me a beautiful package which included personalized scrapbook tags that are just perfect and I cannot wait to add them. Thank you Sarita! So now I am just trying to find a few more things to do and will share if I get some new ideas.
I have so many thoughts I want to get out, so many wishes I want to send, so many tears I want to cry, for me, for you, for our babies who are above, for those couples trying to conceive, for those trying to adopt, for those couples expecting again who are on edge, for those who recently lost and have the raw raw pain on the inside just bursting to scream outloud. I wonder how everyone is, if we still share many of the same thoughts. Do you feel like you want to be alone on your babies birthday or do you want to celebrate big and involve everyone and open yourself up for those not=meant=to=be=hurtful=but=are, comments. I can't handle those at all, I snap right up now and speak up, whereas before I would not, but I have to to protect my heart and let people know it still stings sometimes, and that I want to talk about my girls even if I cry.
See? Many thoughts...I could go on, but I must sleep and recharge for the next month to come. Love to all, Nan xxxooo
Sweet dreams my beautiful baby girls in Heaven. I know you are never more than a thought away. We love you so much.

Xmas 2011 - Our triplets stocking additions
The pictures don't really doesn't do these justice. It's a gold-ish color with three swavorski (sp?) color crystals in the center, three in one package at the craft store jewelry making section. I wandered for about 20 minutes and it finally popped out at me, I cannot tell you how much I LOVE THAT, when it happens :) So I sewed them on to the stockings over the weekend and I'm missing my sweet girls like crazy. Much love goes out to all of you reading this, no matter what your situation is, I hope you feel embraced by this lovely community of women and men, and that the Holidays are gentle on you. Our babies in Heaven are always in our hearts. xxxooo Nan

The 6th, Again
It's the 6th again, and only 4 months until their 3rd Birthday. It's also time to think about what we will add to our sweet angels' stockings for their 3rd Xmas in Heaven this year. Hmmm...something always pops out at me, so we shall see what it will be this year.
It helps to have started a tradition that involves including the babies every year, and this is something we can do forever :)
Big hugs to those that are struggling, especially this time of year. Much love, Nan

Thanks for the lift…
Sometimes you have to go fishing, (no not in the great outdoors!) fishing for answers. My last post was to say to my friends in blogosphere that "Hey, I'm struggling, are you struggling too? What do you do to get through it even this far down the road, or are you flopping and flailing like a fish out of water like me too?"
When I talk about my psychologist and what she helps me to see and realize, I want to share it to see if it will help you too. I realize this may not be for everyone, but for myself, there have been a couple of real eye opening sessions. I've been battling depression since I was about 21 or so, I am now 36, and didn't start seeing a psychologist until one month after I lost my baby girls. I have been on and off medications to help, and they usually get me through. I usually know when I am starting another round of depression requiring meds. For instance, lately all it takes is a little trigger and I can drop to my knees and sob, or tears to start streaming with a mere thought of the words "depression" "pressure" or "bitterness", especially when they are brought up in the psychologists office, and sometimes sitting at my desk at work. Thankfully there is no shortage of tissues at either place, and I don't care what other people think when it happens. But my point is, when you think you may need help or aren't sure if you need help, chances are you may. That is not to say you have to go on medication right this instant, but it's important to talk to a doctor you trust, even if it's your PCP.
I gotta tell ya, I'm terrified of taking Autumn to the doctors when she is sick, I get panic attacks and super nervous, want to throw up, the whole nine. But it's a fear of me setting things up to fail as I said in my last post, thinking the doctor will say "She has to go to the hospital for further tests" and then the fear that she will get wheeled away or something, and then the roller coaster starts. But nothing happens; she is completely fine and just needs an antibiotic for an ear infection or just to be watched for a common cold, etc, and we go home thankfully. Those awful thoughts get in my head and I can't stop it some days. So when I say my brain needs to be re-trained, I think you may understand why now. I apply that train of thought to many things, not just Autumn's doctor visit. Not good.
Also, if you have other difficult things going on in your life, it just contributes to the grief and depression of losing your child and/or children. I guess I will just bare my soul even more, but what has been the topper for me lately is the realization of not trying to have biological children anymore, it's over, and I'm slowly accepting it. I just really wanted to try to have an earthly sibling for Autumn to play with so she could grow up like we did, is that selfish? I think not. Mike and I just have every odd against us at this point and I don't even think I could mentally or physically wrap my head around another IVF cycle (let alone afford it) which isn't a guaranteed baby anyhow, or even go through a pregnancy full of surgeries and trauma or possible loss. None of our IVF embies ever froze, so there is no chance of a future FET. I am now on BC pills for endometriosis which they aren't sure how invasive it is, but who knows with all of the things my body has been through, but it's been painful so I assume the worst (like always). My hubby has had two work accidents in the past 6 years (one near fatal) which thankfully he is ok but he has been out of work for quite some time (not by his choice). The one good thing I find out of that is that he is home with Autumn. Who knows, maybe if we can get our personal life together again we could even talk about adoption, it's not out of the picture, but we are nowhere near stable enough at this point. There is much more, but I digress. I love having my rainbow most of all and am forever grateful for her making it to be with us on earth. I guess I'm just looking for some hope, some positivity in my negative mind, trying to swim to the surface before I feel like I'm drowning again. I know someday my attitude could affect Autumn and I have to keep trying to fix myself for her most of all.
So how do you will yourself forward when you are stuck in a rut? Blog, reach out to one of us, see a doc, get meds, go fishing, do whatever you have to do I suppose to keep moving forward. I feel better when I blog, time doesn't allow much of it, but I'm trying. Tell me what you do to feel better…I love to hear suggestions.
Thinking of you all, sending much love back to you for your support and unconditional love xxxooo Nan

Happy 2nd Birthday sweet girls
We have been thinking of you constantly and trying to stay focused on hoping you are playing in clouds with your family and angel friends. Thank you for showing us what true love is and for all of the blessings we try to live for everyday. Thank you also for the three ships, three seagulls, three bumblebees, three windsailing kites and the beautiful scenery you painted in the sky.
We love you more than words could possibly express,
Love, Daddy, Mommy, S & Autumn xxxooo

Bottled Up
I have alot of things that have been bothering me for a while now, and keeping it bottled up. Not a good thing to do, now I know.
Now that I can recognize what I'm going through, I want to TALK about it, I want to TALK about my girls and celebrate their brief beatiful lives and what they have taught me. But I find that many people IRL (not all, but alot) shy away from me when I want to talk about it, they change the subject or walk away. Really? Seriously, do they even know what I've really been through in the last 6 years alone (yes, they do)? Enough for two lifetimes or more. I left my psychologist appointment last Monday in sobbing tears, the flood gates opened as I realized I really haven't been facing or embracing my thoughts or feelings. I drove to my Moms who thankfully lives 5 minutes away from there and just fell apart on the floor, literally. Then the next day I got super angry, and was angry for about a week which actually affected my work and someone thought I threw them under the proverbial bus. Which, by the way is something I would never ever do. Now I'm in a lull, which is what I think is depression...and I'm on medication now for depression, so what the heck? Phases, ugh.
Grief seems to always win until you recognize the phase you are in. If you cannot outlet your grief somehow, well, atleast for me, I know it will come out in some other way. When I wasn't facing it, I started dreaming and having nightmares...dreaming horrible horrible dreams, and I am still having a few, but they are not as bad. I dream of people being possessed by demons and I have to shake the crap out of them to snap out of it...can you guess what that one means? Yep, I'm asking people to wake the frig up and just listen! You don't have to reply, just listen!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were many other horrible dreams, but most I'd rather keep to myself.
I've been away from blogging for so long now. Partially because I start to write and have to erase it all because my thoughts overwhelm me, and I worry about what others think too much. I know this place is my story to write and etc etc, but I also worry about offending others who read here. I always want to be sensitive to readers who have been through loss, so I try not to bring up Autumn, but she comes up in everything I do. She is forever a little sister on earth to my triplets in Heaven, so how could I leave her out? So if I mention her, please know my intent is not to upset anyone. I will always try to just mention her on our other blog. Sometimes I feel guilty having any of these thoughts in my head when I have Autumn and feel I should just shut up. It's all very conflicting.
I read everyone's blogs every week or so as to keep up, so please know even though I don't comment, I am still thinking of you, wondering, praying, hoping all is as well as it can be.
A good friend texted me and said it best how I've been feeling lately: "It seems like no matter how good you are, it's never great because they aren't here".
I hope I'm off my soapbox for now, I just really needed to vent. Maybe someone out there is feeling the same way I am and if so I hope this brought some comfort to you to know you aren't alone.
We are planning a trip to the beach over the triplets' birthday, and even though it will be cold there, I just felt like we needed some "us" time, to just "be". I think we might light some fireworks and if the weather cooperates we might take lots of beach walks and sit on the jettys. Keeping it simple this year but I know I need to be away from here.
Think Spring.

I didn't have alot of time after work to get this together, but wanted to share that I lighted candles in honor of all our babies with every candle I had. I did better last year, but next year I want to make sure I have it just perfect. I noticed last year and this year both had very windy cold days, and that my plans for an outside night vigil were not going to happen, so this is what I have, and it was sweet. Hubby and I hugged for a long while and had some tears, but ultimately it showed us even more how much love we have for our children in the sky, and that not a day goes by that we don't think about them. Click here for more pictures, and I hope you all had beautiful candlelit memories. Love, Nan

Layers of Grief.....& Oct 15th Rememberence Day
Since my last post, I have been struggling with what to write. I think we all have either a writer's block sometimes or even just need a break every once in a while. When the year and half mark hit last month, the day was Labor Day (ugh) and I went to the park to walk and push Autumn in her stroller. There I was.....walking, weeping, sobbing and then staring at a beautiful face that will someday know that she has three big sisters who are now in Heaven. I asked myself for a month, how can I still struggle when I have Autumn? Then I realized these things:
1) Because the fact is that my girls were real, they were here and that I still grieve their loss and their dream.
2) Because all of the things I used to do (ie. blog, garden), I can't do as much. So that can sometimes feel like I am taking time away from reflecting on them.
3) Because with each year, the grief gets a little lighter, with some setbacks, but the feeling of guilt comes into the picture for it feeling lighter.
4) Because I'll always worry about losing Autumn too.
None of this is easy, and honestly I have not walked the most graceful path, but to get the thoughts out of my head and to maybe know that someone else may be feeling the same way, just makes me feel better.
My therapist shared something a few months back that may be helpful to some of you, and I have been wanting to write about it for a while. I asked her why I couldn't "process" (in other words, why did I break down hysterically) some things as easily anymore, such as thoughts of a baby shower for myself until Autumn arrived safely. It is because we process things differently now...when someone is grieving, the thought process has alot layers because it has too many things to consider, and becomes emotional overload. So, for example, a baby shower, you think, why can't I handle it? Because, A) It reminds you what you should have had a year ago, B) Fear of seeing another small baby, C) Fear of seeing baby bumps besides your own, D) If it was a surprise shower, then you would feel betrayed by all who knew upfront that you couldn't handle it, E) Fear of having to return gifts or look at a room full of gifts if your baby did not make it, F) I could go on and on and on. Many many layers. And that is just one example. I had a shower after Autumn was born, and I cried a bunch, but I was prepared for it, and prepared to talk about my girls that day also. Surprises don't sit well with us, and I know most here reading can relate.
Anyway, I just wanted to share that. And also, I am thinking of all of our babies in Heaven tomorrow and always. I will be lighting a bunch of candles and we will all be together in spirit tomorrow. I also plan to try and decorate the babies' garden with some flowers and pumpkins.
Hugs, and lots of love, Nan xxx

A Year and a Half Angelversary
I had a butterfly that was flying all around me and Autumn on our front porch that let me take numerous pictures up close.
Friday, August 6, 2010
Today is 17 months without my sweet triplet girls, and I still see those special Heaven sent signs that could be none other than them blowing kisses to us. We drove past a local florist who does displays in this large 2nd floor window, and guess what was in it? Three giant butterflies...just beautiful. Love you, sweet angels.

Above is a picture of the mural in our nursery, it is near completion with a few finishing touches needed. The three eggs in the nest represent Shelby, Megan and Lynne. Ironically, their real tree in the garden has a nest that looks exactly like that that we have pictures of, no eggs though.

Remembering Tristen Ryan
Saturday, July 3, 2010
Prayers for those who are struggling
You've struggled with not having your child or children with you everyday on earth
You've struggled with seeing other women pregnant and/or going (or not) to their baby showers
You've struggled being around infants or toddlers as sometimes they remind you of what you are missing
You've struggled with trying to get pregnant naturally or go through IF treatments or go through adoption
You've struggled (if you've gotten pregnant or are adopting now) with wondering if your earthly baby or babies are going to make it or if you will have more angels in Heaven or a failed adoption
You've struggled with guilt and all of the phases of grief over and over and over again
You know this is going to effect you for the rest of your life and will always be on your heart and mind
Etc...Etc...Etc...the list goes on and on
So why should anyone have to struggle through trying to make it again to be earthly parents no matter what the route? Why can't things just be ok? Why can't there be a guarantee, like on a box of brake pads? I'm sorry but my heart is very heavy today and I have to ask God why anymore. I am not super religious but I have my own beliefs. Call me selfish, but I want my friends to be ok and to have their babies on earth, just like I want mine too. So I will cling to hope and pray and ask that you also pray for not just my friends, but for all of us in this community going through every struggle we know all too well. Maybe the key is that we all keep bonding together to form a super alliance...wouldn't super powers be nice right now.

Things in 3's

Hiding Out
I think I will split some of it up and replant some in other places. Its really hardy, and pretty!
As I see more or notice anything else different I will definitely share, you can count on that. I really find so much purpose and so much closeness being out there. I will add more to the garden after our rainbow has arrived safely.
Mother's Day. Just hurt, like for most of us. It went ok, but not without the occasional breakdown. Especially after receiving this:
My Mom gave me some pink geraniums I cannot wait to get planted soon. Thanks Mom, you always remember your beautiful Granddaughters in Heaven, and are always there for me, I don't know what I would do without you. I love you.
Hubby had three butterflies placed in this beautiful floral arrangement that arrived at our house. So when I saw it, I counted out loud "one, two, oh my God did you place three butterflies in there" and then had a meltdown in his arms. I am choked up thinking about it. I miss my girls so much, and it sometimes still hurts like it did a year ago. I can't even believe I can say that 'a year ago'. Those moments are going to hit me occasionally for the rest of my life on earth, and it only reminds me more of how real they were in my arms, of how beautiful they are in my pictures and how much I want to honor and cherish them forever. So to my wonderful hubby, I love you, and thank you for all you do to keep our girls' memories alive, and keep me sane. This was a beautiful and most thoughtful gift...and I get to keep the butterfly garden stakes! xxx
So Happy Belated Mother's Day to all of the beautiful Moms, on earth and in heaven, I am sorry I am so late, I guess I needed some time to process the day. I used to process things so easily, now it takes alot of time....does anyone else feel that way?
Lastly, I would like to share what Jennifer created for her local hospital. Please visit her blog to read a document posted "Important tips for medical personnel in dealing with grieving parents". I plan on bringing this to the nurse manager at our hospital when I bring more tissue donations. Please note, her site has pictures and a living child mentioned, so if you have a hard time with those, then please email me and I can email you the document if you want.
Sending you all some Spring butterflies and sunshine.
Love, Nan xxxooo

Find your perfect purse for fall
Posted on Tue, September 3, 2013 at 10:00AM
But, did you know you there are certain handbag shapes and sizes that complement different body types? It's true! Read on to find out which style best suits your shape so you buy your new purse with confidence.
If you're pear shaped (Waist and rear are wider than the shoulders): Search for a handbag that falls between the natural waist and hips, which will make shoulders appear broader and help balance out the figure.
Purse to try: A satchel
If you're ruler shaped (Waist, shoulders and hips are all the same size): Look for a handbag that falls at the natural waist, which adds slight curves to a long and lean body type.
Purse to try: A hobo or satchel
If you're petite (have an overall small frame): Seek out a vertical-shaped handbag to help elongate a tiny frame.
Purse to try: An oversized shopper
If you're apple shaped (Shoulders and thighs are narrower than bust and waist): Create overall balance by wearing a wider handbag with a defined structure.
Purse to try: A tote
If you're an inverted triangle (waist and hips are smaller than shoulders): Look for a handbag with longer straps to attract attention to the smallest part of the body.
Purse to try: A crossbody

In a little reported attack in June, the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility for murdering 14 school girls and 11 others in two bombings that sent a clear message on where these particular extremists stand on the matter of girls' right to education.More >>
It's 2013, and black and white students are going to go to the same prom, for the first time ever.More >>
I keep a folder on my computer of attacks against girls' education in Afghanistan. It's full of stories of gas poisonings of girls' schools, murdered teachers, beheaded principles, arson of school buildings, acid attacks, and threats and 'night letters' warning communities to not send their daughters to school. It's a bulging folder.
Yesterday I added a new article, a story of less than 500 words in The Guardian reporting the murder of Khan Mohammad, a local man who headed the Porak Girls' School in Logar province. There are sparse details about Khan's life or the exact circumstances of his death, other than to mention that he was shot near his home and his son was injured in the attack. The rest of the article gives very basic background on the Taliban and discusses the findings of an unnamed February report on girls' education in Afghanistan (it's this report), as if to bulk up the story for lack of more to say.
It's tempting to file it away without further thought, just one more tragic story out of Afghanistan, for which there is never any shortage.
But Khan Mohammad's story was a triumph before it...More >>
Canadian taxpayers can be proud that modest contributions from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) over the past few years have supported an exceptional school in the heart of southern Afghanistan, the Afghan Canadian Community Centre.
Tucked away behind unassuming but protective gates down a quiet street in Kandahar city, hundreds of young people bustle in and out of the small building every day. Women swell the ACCC's classrooms in the day, while young men come for their classes in the evenings. Operating much like a community college, Kandaharis can take computer, business, marketing and English classes here that allow them to land good jobs and earn good incomes. They take online classes with Canadian profs at places like the South Alberta Institute of Technology, making use of the benefits offered by free software like Skype and Canadian 'virtual volunteers' keen to pitch in where they can.
In this deeply conservative setting, access to education opportunities like those offered at the ACCC are hard to come by. Many international and Afghan NGOs have no interest in going anywhere near Kandahar given its precarious security situation, while it is the southern region that most needs more social...More >>

Hello there! Melissa Mann and Amy Heller are here today with a new sketch for our Monday Sketch Challenge!
Here is the new sketch:
This sketch can be interpreted in so many different ways! Don't feel like you have to use the photos in exactly the same place as the sketch - those blocks could all be photos or they could all be pattern paper - feel fre to adapt it to work for you!
This is Melissa's take on the sketch. She followed the sketch explicitly.
Lily Bee Supplies:
Handmade Pattern Paper
Handmade ABC Stickers
Handmade Stickers
Handmade Bag of Bits
.and this is Amy's take on the sketch:
And here is what Amy had to say:
Melissa's sketch is really well suited for a layout. But you can just as easily use it for cards as well. Because of all the detail in her sketch, I chose to limit my color palette to just a 2-3 colors, to simplify the design and keep the focus on the sentiment for each card. In my first card, I stuck very close to her sketch. In the 2nd card, I decided to mix things up by taking several of the square places on the right of the sketch and using one larger piece by using one of Lily Bee's Index Journaling Cards. This creates a great focal point on the card.
Lily Bee Supplies:
Now, here are the details if you wish to participate in the sketch challenge:
1. Your layout must use at 70% Lily Bee products
2. Post your layout to our Flickr Gallery to be eligible for the monthly Sketch Challenge prize drawing
3. Title your post "Lily Bee August Sketch Challenge" so we can find it easily.
4. The deadline is Friday, August 31, 2012 at 9PM MST. Winners will be posted in Kristen's September news post on September 28th. HAVE FUN!!
Thanks for joining us on the blog today!

Failure to maintain the minimum SAP standards results in your being placed on academic probation. If you are on academic probation, you are not eligible for graduation.
The Registrar's Office places an academic probation hold on your record if you fail to meet SAP standards. This hold prevents you from registering for the semester.
Academic probation may have other important implications.
Procedure. If you have been placed on academic probation, refer to procedures on the Academic Probation webpage.
If you are placed on academic probation, you must resolve the situations that incurred this status by the end of the following semester. If you are unable to work yourself out of academic probation, you are subject to dismissal from the University by the faculty of your academic program.

GM's Big SUVs Lead Segment in Mileage
GM has released new EPA fuel economy numbers for its newly refreshed and upgraded Chevrolet and GMC full-size SUVs, and they're leading the segment. The 2015 Chevy Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon/Yukon XL will come standard with the EcoTec3 all-aluminum 5.3-liter V-8 that debuted in the all-new 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra half-ton pickup trucks last year. The new engine produces more power and offers better city and highway fuel economy than either of the previous 5.3-liter V-8 engines (LC9 or LMG) it replaces.
According to the press release, the new EPA-rated numbers for the Chevy Suburban (and GMC Yukon XL) are 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway for two-wheel-drive models, improving the previous engine's numbers by 7 and 9 percent, respectively. Four-wheel-drive models for both the 2015 Yukon XL and Suburban are 15/22. Shorter wheelbase Tahoe and Yukon models with two-wheel drive have an EPA rating of 16/23, with four-wheel-drive models rated at 16/22.

Six Nations: Sam Warburton and Alun Wyn Jones on Wales bench
- Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Rome
- Date: Saturday 23 February
- Kick-off: 14:30 GMT
Coverage: Watch live on BBC One Wales, BBC One HD, Red Button and online; listen on BBC Radio Wales & online and BBC Radio Cymru; live text commentary on BBC Sport website; watch again on BBC iPlayer; highlights on Sunday's Scrum V
Sam Warburton and Alun Wyn Jones are set to make their Wales returns off the bench when they take on Italy in the Six Nations in Rome on Saturday.
Flanker Warburton, who led Wales into the tournament, missed their 16-6 win over France because of a shoulder blow.
Justin Tipuric stays at open-side, but Warburton has backed coach Rob Howley's decision to name the same starting XV three days after the win in Paris.
Ospreys lock Jones (shoulder) is back after being injured in November.
Cardiff Blue Warburton takes over from Aaron Shingler on the bench while Jones replaces Blues' Lou Reed.
Amid a second-row injury crisis that preceded the tournament, Newport Gwent Dragon Andrew Coombs, 28, came in to win plaudits for his debut against Ireland and the clash against France.
Coombs holds on to the number four jersey so British and Irish Lion Jones must bide his time as a replacement.
Another Osprey, Ryan Jones, will again lead Wales having taken over from Warburton against France.
Howley said: "We announced last week that we would reward the starting XV that beat France by keeping faith with the same line-up for this weekend's game.
"The side is fit and raring to go and on the bench we have brought in Sam (Warburton) and Alun Wyn (Jones), who have both returned from injury which is a boost to the squad.
"In France the players showed real determination and resilience and we will need that again in Rome.
"Italy have already showed so far in this campaign what they are capable of, so we know the challenge we will be facing on Saturday."
After suffering an opening 22-30 defeat by Ireland, the title holders bounced back with a gritty win over France to remain in contention ahead of the third round clash at Stadio Olimpico.
Italy kicked off their campaign with victory over France before succumbing to Scotland at Murrayfield.
The hosts could be without skipper talisman Sergio Parisse, who faces a disciplinary hearing on Wednesday, 20 February after being sent off for club Stade Francais at the weekend for allegedly insulting the match referee.
Leigh Halfpenny (Cardiff Blues); Alex Cuthbert (Blues), Jonathan Davies (Scarlets), Jamie Roberts (Blues), George North (Scarlets); Dan Biggar (Ospreys), Mike Phillips (Bayonne); Gethin Jenkins (Toulon), Richard Hibbard (Ospreys), Adam Jones (Ospreys), Andrew Coombs (Newport Gwent Dragons), Ian Evans (Ospreys), Ryan Jones (Ospreys, capt), Justin Tipuric (Ospreys), Toby Faletau (Dragons).
Replacements: Ken Owens (Scarlets), Paul James (Bath), Craig Mitchell (Exeter) Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Sam Warburton (Blues), Lloyd Williams (Blues), James Hook (Perpignan), Scott Williams (Scarlets).

21st February 2013 - 16:24Without Parisse's leadership and skill Italy will revert to type and roll over after 50 minutes. I expect Wales to win by at least 15 points, with most of them scored in the last 30 minutes.

21st February 2013 - 15:22160 dogtooth. Dont forget about ure trip to Murrayfield before England....mind you, once you have thumped the Italians, Scotland should be nae bother....
Comment number 163.
21st February 2013 - 13:32Great to see Parisse get banned really helps us out. Insulting the ref is wrong so its good he has been punished.
Wales to win by at least 15 -
Comment number 162.
21st February 2013 - 11:57159 - Italy were fantastic against France - if they play like that again we're in big trouble. The key to that game was offloading, or relentlessly quick - and inventive - recycling. Both areas currently missing from Wales's game... But - Parisse+confidence is key to all that - and that game was death or glory for the Italians. Wales' blitz will stifle them to grind an attritional win. Er...I hope
Comment number 161.
21st February 2013 - 11:55Like most Welsh fans, I am saddened by the loss of Parisse. The tournament has very few World class players in it and to lose one of them is not good for the game. If the All Blacks are in town, we want to see McCaw. The same with Parisse. The IRB should change the law. Andrew Hore should have missed 5 All Black games; Parisse should miss 30 days at Stade Francais. That would be better justice.
