You Ask...I Answer

I have an idea for a post and I would like you all to help me. Actually, without you and your help this post will never happen. Please read on for further details. :)

Just so that you all know I read each and every comment that is left on my blog. I love reading your comments and each of you have brought me strength and comfort during this last year. Once again thank you for all the love and support. You all rock!!

This week while reading your comments I began to notice that some of you were asking me questions in your comments. A few days ago I got an email from a reader and she had a few questions for me as well. That is where the idea for this post came to me. Instead of answering each of your questions separately I thought I would open the questions up to all of you and then answer them in a post one day.

That's right...I'm giving all of you the chance to ask me any question that you would like. Then I will answer them all in a post. Some of the questions I have already been asked are...
1. What's the deal with "T"?
2. Why don't I ever talk about Shawn's parents?
3. What is the best memory I have of Shawn?
4. Am I scared to fall in love again?
5. Why have I been so open and honest about my life on my blog?

So go ahead...think of any question or questions that you would like to ask me. Nothing really is off limits. I have been totally up front and honest with you this far. However, if I think a question is inappropriate I will either not answer or try to give it my best explanation as to why I'm not answering. Although, I really doubt any of you will ask me anything all that inappropriate.

Have fun with this! I think it will be really fun for me to answer the questions as well, and I'm looking forward to answering them. Think of any questions you have been wondering about or have been dying to ask me since you started reading my blog. I will leave this post open until late Monday night. Then I will gather all of the questions and will answer them all for Tuesday's post.

Have a great weekend! and have fun thinking of great questions!!

What is your ancestry? In some of your pics, you look like you might be part Latina or something.

(I think you're beautiful, by the way!)

My good friend has experienced a lot of loss recently. Her brother, roommate, and grandma all died within a few months of each other. I am having a hard time knowing how I can be supportive of her. My question: What sorts of things have your friends done for you that has helped you over this past year?

Em said...

When you were little, what did you want to be when grew up? Has that thought changed now?

Amy said...

I hope you answer some of the questions that you listed. I just wanted to know what you like to do for fun?

Amy said...

I have wanted to do this type of post also. I just have not done it.

Jennifer said...

How is your physical health?

Christina said...

What type of work are you looking to go into?

How about school? Do you think about going back?

I was carrying twins and one died (around 9 weeks) - upon seeing the ultrasound a family member said, "Which one is the real baby and which one is the dead baby?"

SHEESH

Sorry, I meant to post that on the other post "Stupid Things..."

Hi Jen!

Aw, I'm looking forward to reading the Q&A post. You're always so honest and straitforward - it's one of the reasons your blog is one of my favorites!

My question is one that you may have answered in past posts, but if you did, I missed the answer (and apologize for the duplicatation). Anyway - I was wondering where you and Shawn went on your honeymoon? What was the most fun thing you did that week? Anything turn out not-so-good?

Have a great weekend, my dear!

Jen,
Will you be attending Sarah's wedding? I think it is wonderful how many "strangers" have come to love you! Keep up the good work!

Hi, Jen. I found your blog through other TTC blogs and I just wanted to say I'm so terribly sorry for your loss.
My husband and I have been trying to conceive through IVF for the past few years due to my husband's infertility from cancer treatments. My husband is a four-time cancer survivor, and although he is doing well right now, I always live with the fear of losing him. Your story touches me deeply because you have had to live my worst nightmare. At the same time, you are living your life as best you can, and I truly admire your strength.
I guess I'd just like to know what gets you through each day. What or who do you lean on?
I wish you all the best.

Lauren

What would you pick as your last meal?

Would you ever eat human if you were offered it in some foreign country?

Coke or pepsi?

If you could buy any paif of shoes, what would they be?

Love your blog, sorry I don't comment more!
Rather than asking a new question how answering about the 5 questionstyped on this post. I didn't realize until this post that you never talk about Shawn's family.

Jodi said...

If you had to pick between being deaf or blind what would you choose?

If you could leave today and go on any vacation where would you go and who would you take?

I am really excited to learn more about you through your answers! If you could be an anmial for a day, what would you be? I think I would be a hummingbird. :o)

Just thought I'd pop a question in here that I've been thinking/wondering about.

How are you doing financially w/out Shawn? How is it that you haven't had to go back to work for financial reasons? How are you managing your finaces less one income?

If these questions are too personal I understand, but its always something I freak out about. Death. Life w/out spouse... how do the bills get paid?
