The last page

I think I have come to the last page in this journal.  

That's how this blog began- as a way to put my thoughts out into the universe.  It felt different than putting pen to paper even though I had no idea whether anyone would ever read my words. What I wanted, I think, was for Molly and Joseph to have a bigger mark on the world.  I wanted to make sure their story had been told and that our love and longing for them was chronicled.  I wanted their names to go out beyond our own little world and to know that maybe, just maybe, they could have an impact on someone else.

I think I did that, and I think I am done.

I have exhausted the words I can find to express the fulness of their existence and I have grown content with the quiet thoughts of my heart.  

There are things I could write about- my other kids, my life, my faith.  I have done that before and I could continue on that way but I don't have a need for that.  I am not interested in writing from a purely superficial level, but I am also not thick skinned enough to take the heat when more controversial topics are raised.  I'm not sure I was ever cut out for blogging but I have appreciated tremendously my experience in this strange little land and the friends I have made.

I will probably keep visiting my blog friends now and then, but I am closing up shop.

Be well.  God bless.  

Peace.
