I am finally finding time to read this now, dear Dena. You remind me of an orthodox man I used to work for (or more appropriately, his wife). Jay and Binah also had seven children. Or eight? When Jay learned I was pregnan (sadly without benefit of a partner, or commitment from same), he promptly invited me to dinner -- and Binah made the most delicious kosher meal. I felt so blessed being in the home of a couple who so clearly adored children, and welcomed yet another unborn (my own) into their home, with promises that I eat right, sleep well, and take care of myself properly.
Sorry. I digress. I guess I was feeling the same sort of welcome were I to show up in your home. And I love that you have a houseful of children. Knowing this great love you have to welcome yet another, my heart breaks for you as you near (or recover) from the time of Samuel's passing. His physical exit from too short a stay in your womb. The little box with flowers you painted on it ... sounds lovely ... and I hope each passing day brings you an added measure's relief from sorrow.
Much love, Temmie.
