| Micah Zachary Clark b/d 4-12-08"My life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars-points of light and reason... And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly, everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."
-Edward in the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyers

| When Hannah had her fourth birthday, I learned I was pregnant with Colton. Up till Micah Zachary was born/died that was my largest age span. Sarah is now four years and 2 months. So if I got pg right now, since Micah is gone, the age difference would be the largest in my family. I'm not planning more babies. but it was still a sad realization. like this no more baby thing might be real.
Took a nice long bath after supper last night where I was quickly joined by Sarah who talked about our very nice afternoon with S and her children at Fort Hartsuff. she went on and on about S's kids. naming them and talking about them being her best friends. S has a child Colton's age, one Sarah's age and one Micah's age. Not till the bath did I even think about this during the whole afternoon together. We would have had three common-aged children if Micah was still with us. Glad I didn't dwell on this during the outing.
Oprah the other day had on a couple who does 'interventions' with obese teens and parents. trying to uncover the underlying cause of their overeating. So they made them answer the following question, "if you really knew me you'd know that...." so I asked James and Hannah that question and they had superficial answers. James's was: "what I really like on my taco". Even though it seems trivial I guess he still has some anger towards me for ordering him the wrong stuff on his taco. It was lettuce. lol. I asked Albert the same question. answer: you already know everything about me. He reversed and I refused to answer. We were having a nice time enjoying a drink on the porch and I didn't want to spoil it. I think we need to have that conversation though. there is SO much to that answer.

| 11 years ago at this moment.....I was at the end of a 30+ hours of labor and in the middle of marathon pushing to produce a gorgeous 11 pound girl with tons of black hair (at home). She was gorgeous. Wouldn't have mattered how much work I had to do to get her, it would have (and was) worth it. What a joy Hannah has brought into our lives. I can't imagine life without her. Hannah has turned into a compassionate, empathetic girl who still has way too much hair. She is becoming a great example of a well rounded woman. She will make a great mother and wife and I feel SO blessed by her. I love you Hannah. forever.
