My point is that while I was watching the weather swing wildly back and forth today, I realized how much that seemed to mirror the emotions that I've been feeling lately. Grief isn't a single emotion, it's multi-faceted. This morning I woke with a specific friend in mind and literally ran to the computer to start it up and see if she had checked in. I was optimistic for today and quite excited to tackle the tasks for today. It was sunny. Well, my friend checked in and the rain came pouring down, more than the gutters could handle. I had to finish my projects for today and completing them made me feel really good, the sun came out and warmed up the totally clean house. The sun felt so good but before long the rain started falling again...
Without sun AND rain, we can't witness the beauty of a rainbow and what it represents.
Eli has caused me to be so much more aware of my surroundings, of other people, and really to experience everything from every angle if possible. Sometimes when I think about Eli, it feels like the rain, sometimes it feels like the sun. I'm pretty sure it will always be that way and I'm ok with that. I enjoy the rainbows.

What a beautiful rainbow. We saw one peeking perfectly thru the clouds last week on our way to church. It was a nice way to enter worship, thinking about God's promise.
Eli was saying hi mama!! Beautiful rainbow
That is just beautiful Kristi. Rainbows are such amazing things. As amazing as little Eli's impact on this world. And I love the little footprints photo you posted. Thanks so much for sharing so much of Eli's life with us.
Kristi I don't think that you could have found a more beautiful rainbow!!! I saw one on the way home from work on friday and I thought about you, but your rainbow is so much more then the one that I saw.
