About Me

I started this blog to help vent my frustrations after my firstborn child, Jonah Bentley Willis was delivered stillborn. I now have another child in Heaven, Harper Bailey Willis. Harper was delivered at 21 weeks and he was much too small to survive. This is the story of how Jonah and Harper shaped my life and how they always will.

Becoming A Hermit

I think I'm going to become a hermit. I will go to work, church and the YMCA but that is it. These days crowds give me anxiety, especially crowded restaurants. I can't seem to go anywhere without feeling like I don't belong or like everyone in the room is looking at me or talking about how I am doing. Just last night I felt like I was going to lose my composure while waiting with my husband for my sister and brother in law to show up for dinner at a local restaurant. I sighed in relief when they finally walked through the door. Today I had a yard sale with my Mama and older sister, Erin, at my Mama's house. This lady showed up with her nine, yes nine, kids in tow. I recognize this lady because I have heard all about her before. She gives birth to all of her kids at home without any medical help. And she has nine kids and I can't have just one, just Jonah. After I saw this lady walk up I couldn't shake this from my mind, and then I saw this other lady that has 5 or 6 of her own children, so I went to the bathroom and had a good sob fest...and no one knew. I went back outside and tried to keep it together until my Mama felt the need to point out to me that the lady had nine kids, to which I snapped an told her thanks for pointing that out to me and that I already knew that an I went back to the bathroom and continued my earlier sob fest. I am just so mad that Jonah is gone and I refuse to sugar-coat it. The worst part is, I don't feel like this anger will ever subside, ever. So, for now I am becoming a hermit, crowds and greedy people are overrated anyway.
