Horrors, unthinkable thoughts, yes. Anniversaries hold me captive too. I try not to suffer over my suffering but sometimes tidal waves of despair sweep me away. I'm thinking of all of you.

My name is Janna Shelton (Bryan and Jenny She...Hi. My name is Janna Shelton (Bryan and Jenny Shelton’s sister-in-law). I was married to Bryan’s oldest brother, Robert, until Rob died suddenly on Sept. 20, 2011. Years ago, when Bryan and Jenny were visiting us, Bryan was showing us what a blog was (we really were that behind on technology and such then). He showed us your blog on his laptop and I have been reading it ever since. I was excited for you and with you from afar when your sons were born and you became a family of four and then five. I was overjoyed for you and with you from afar when your oldest son was declared healthy. I smiled with glee for you and with you from afar when the hair of your youngest shone as brightly red as the hair of your oldest. And I cried for you and with you from afar when I read of the death of your family as you knew it when your first red-headed child slipped from our earthly world.<br /><br />As I look at your photos in your blog posts and notice the glaring absence of Barbie dolls, tutus, hair bows and pink and as I look at my own photos and notice the glaring absence of a daddy hoisting his youngest son up onto his shoulders or teaching his oldest son how to tie a tie or kissing his youngest daughter on the night of her Senior Fall Formal or walking his oldest daughter down the aisle on her wedding day, I can’t help but also notice the very present smiles, laughter, and growth of all of us who are left here to keep living life as it continues to roll on by. Because, with or without our consent, life does keep rolling on by. And little by little by little, I’ve even found that I want it to. <br />And although I believe I will always somewhat experience moments measured by the moments I miss having (or never had the privilege of having at all because he didn’t live into our future), I look forward to experiencing and appreciating each one of those moments as they come. And I look forward to continuing to see your moments on your blog. <br /><br />So thank you for sharing your daughter while she was living among you and thank you for sharing your daughter as you are now the tender caretaker of her memory. Thank you for sharing your sons as they grow and develop. Thank you for sharing your family of five. <br /><br />And even though I never met your Celia, I miss her today. And my heart aches for you and with you from afar. <br /><br />Janna <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749793872940636559.post-25443057171898494652014-01-16T10:02:49.815-05:002014-01-16T10:02:49.815-05:00I'm so sorry for all you've had to endure....I'm so sorry for all you've had to endure. I am glad you can write about it to "release it" and allow others with experience it with you.
