The Need To Say Things That I just Can't Say Here

To any and all whom read this blog, I have made the decision to go make it private once again for a little while. There are things that I am thinking and feeling that I really need to say through my writing here that I just can't. So, I am going to make Birdie's blog private. If you want to be able to keep reading send me an email so that I can add your name to my reader list. I'm sorry but I need to be true to how I am feeling about some things, and I just cannot feel secure about doing it "in the open" right now.

I know you can understand.

Erin

edited to add: please send me an email with your email, that is how I am adding readers to my list. Some of you have requested to keep reading, but your email did not appear in your comment (when I clicked on your name your email did not appear). I am going to go private with this blog very, very soon...

I understand Erin, I have been thinking the same thing myself. I might just do it too.

I have found lately, that I have been censoring myself on my blog and I just don't want to write my deepest, darkest thoughts. Why now? I don't know, but it's just what I feel. You have to trust in your decision. If it's what you feel, then do it. I think the private space is a very good idea. And I, of course, want to keep reading you, no matter what!

Dear Erin,
I can certainly see why you would like some privacy in such a delicate time. If you don't mind I would like to keep in touch with you and Birdie and how you are doing, because I DO care. If not, I understand.....

Although, you are a virtual world stranger; I have felt viserally linked to you since our children were due a day a part and then were born one day apart.
I hope you will allow me access to your journey.

I have been reading from the beginning but I don't believe I have ever left a comment. I have always thought that Birdie was the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. I know what love and loss is and I would be honored if you would continue to share your story with me.

Erin, I have been reading your blog for a long time now, and if you would let me, I would love to continue to read your thoughts. You inspire me that you can deal with what you are dealt and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Please consider me...jen jsoto24@charter.net

I would also like to keep reading. I've wanted to comment recently on your dream, but haven't felt comfortable doing so. If you want to add me, you can use my google/aol address or karimpugh@hotmail.com. Take care.

Erin said...

I'd like to keep reading if that's OK with you. You and Birdie are in my thoughts a lot--ever since I first read your story on Shape of a Mother. My email is erin.radcliffe@gmail.com.
Take care.

Erin,
Not sure at this point how I found your blog, but thank you for your honest and heartfelt (to say the least) writing. I will patiently wait for your blog to go public again. Be good to yourself

Erin, I would love to continue reading and supporting you through your journey of grief, healing and ttc. You are always in my thoughts and I hope you find some peace now the time has come that you can ttc again. I know it's hard and it brings a lot of hurt feelings back to the surface again. Just write it all out and all of us here will try to help carry you though some of the confusion and anxiety that will follow.
