When One Thought Leads To Another

This just happened.

I just went to bed. I lay there trying to clear my mind.

I started to think about coffee, which reminds me of a drive-thru shop in the neighboring town.

The coffee shop reminds me of the ceramic shop. I haven't painted pottery in over a year...maybe two.

I see myself sitting at the table with a full pregnant belly.

I am painting a name plate for the nursery.

The color paint is pink, and her name is "Layla".

Did you have to think and follow that thought train back to remember how that started? ha ha i do that ALL the time.
I hope that vision comes true as I would especially love to spoil a girl without having my own.
Missed you Mon :)

i think this post is really simple but so beautiful.

i'm not in the same position as you are but i can empathise so much, your story is really sad, but never think that you are not a mother as the little 4 year old thinks- you are a wonderful mother because even though your children are no longer with us you continue to think of them.

I wish you all the best for the future it sounds like you would make a wonderful mother for a little Layla someday :)

That vision was simply beautiful! And a beautiful name, too! I've had a few myself that I had to make sure I was awake because I just knew it was real! Sweet, sweet baby dust to you!
