Just a little heartache

I have been procrastinating posting for so long, but today I just needed a place to let my emotions out. It is so hard hearing sweet friends going through the same heartache and pain that we experienced a year and a half ago. There are so many things I wish I could do or say that would make things be better or go away. I just have an immense feeling of gratitude for my loving Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ whom I have constantly leaned on and put my trust and love in. I know that for much of the pain I cannot do anything for my sweet friend who will bury her little girl in a couple days. But I do know that THEY will be there for her. I can't imagine my life without my sweet Joy and I am so grateful I have the opportunity to see her again. I could not do that without my God. I love my children and my husband so much more than I could ever express. So very grateful.

  1. I recently read a blog post of someone who went through similar experience as you (I don't remember what the baby had specifically). Anyway, it made me think of you guys. Recently, I've been reminded of people close to me who've lost their babies. It's given me a renewed appreciation for my healthy baby--and I take every opportunity I can to enjoy him. Thanks for sharing and I hope you are well. We need to do dinner!
