the end of one, the beginning of the next
Yesterday was a momentous day for me. After about four months of working on it on and off, I finally finished my book! My goal was to have it finished before we got a baby, but as always, this timing was better. I was able to include Adrienne in the final chapter of the book, and in a way, the story would not have been complete without her. This chapter of my life did not end with Poppy's death, or even with the grieving in the following months. No, in order to see the full picture, you have got to see the new life that came out of her death. God placed new life in my heart first, and then he brought new life into our arms. Now I truly feel like this chapter in my life is closing while the next is just beginning.

That's so great. I'm so glad you got it finished, and I can't wait to read it!
Congrats! I'm so excited for you and know how good it feels to finish writing a book. I'll pray it gets published by the right people so His glory can come from every word you wrote!

Wow! Congratulations, Angie!! That is fantastic news. I am praying for you as you get it published and look forward to reading it once it is released. Who is publishing? I just have a little background in that area and was curious.
Anyway, I am so thrilled for you and wanted to add my best wishes.
Congratulations, Angie! That is a huge accomplishment. I can't wait to read the book once it is published.
You are right; this new chapter of your life is just beginning, and I for one cannot wait to watch and read how it continues to unfold for you. God is so good! Congrats again on all the wonderful blessings. =)
Good Job, Angie! Looking so forward to reading it!
I have not posted here in a long time (since your reflections post), but I really felt that the story of our grief and loss ended with the life of Samuel, the baby that came 16 months later. I am praising God for Adrienne's life and what this means for your family! We look forward to your book in "blogland"!

This is wonderful and now I understand why the book was delayed. He had the perfect ending that none of us could imagine. I am so happy and want a copy (signed by you) as soon as it is available. I love you girl and am so happy for you. You bless me all the time.
Love you, Laurie in Ca.

Oh, Angie. I'm so happy for you. God definitely has His timetable and it's so much better than our own. Can't wait to meet little Adrienne.
Way to go! I would love to read it!
Congrats! I am praying for the next steps in the process!
That's great! What an accomplishment...and wonderful that Adrienne is able to be part of the story (a very IMPORTANT part...and "super cute" too!).
I'm thinking I may have to get myself an autographed copy as well :o)
Take care,
Amanda
