If you are in the early stages of grief, you may want to postpone reading this article until you have accepted that your child will be waiting for you in the next life. It is very draining to even think of a positive outcome to any story of loss. I would have loved my son to join our family on earth, however I would not have become the kind of person I am today. He has opened my eyes to the world. My first Savior is the Lord and my second savior is my son Tanner Lee. Sometimes it is difficult to hear, but if Tanner was not born still, I wouldn't have experienced so many wonderful things. When I was reading all of the books on grieving, they all mentioned that "you will be a changed person from this day forward". "Yes indeed, I do not have a son here anymore". That wasn't it. Tanner has changed me for life and I truly thank my sweet little boy. I can honestly say I would not want to live one day prior to Tanner's brief life. I felt him live in me and I now live because of him.
Tanner Lee reintroduced me to the merciful Lord
I can now forgive myself and love all of my heavenly children
I have a deeper appreciation for nature, for that is our medium of communication
I know the great pain of many women who came forward to me, who I hope to offer comfort with Just a Cloud Away
I know family and friends on a much deeper level
The amount of compassion I have now is immeasurable
I have met new people that have brought love, wisdom and meaning to my life
I am more open and friendly to the people I do not know
I am open to the grace of God
I have no fear of taking the journey
I have the faith and determination to overcome adversities in my life
I have the vision of the heavenly reunion with my children to brighten my days
I have the means to help others experiencing similar losses
I am composing this site, with the hope of cradling someone else's pain
Maybe those that are dear to us love their children even more
Forgiveness is not just a concept anymore
I know all of my loved ones are just a cloud away
I am living now with the hope of living better in His kingdom
