so tough....

SO, in the past few months two people i know have had complications with their pregnancies both ending in giving birth to premies that have passed away. it's been so hard to see these women having to face such tragedy. i know i could never recover from something so horrible, and these women are so incredibly strong. they are truly inspirational. the one friend, i haven't heard much from since it's happened which is understandable. she has dealt with it in her own private way. the other, has courageously documented all of the nitty gritty since it's happened. her latest post has brought me to tears and given me such a grateful heart. every day that my children take a breath is a miracle, a blessing. every hug and embrace that i have with my kids is a gift my Heavenly Father has given me to cherish. i try to forget most of the time just how close i came to losing both michelle and wesley. it's just to scary for me to think about much of the time, but i am honestly doing myself the injustice of ignoring such a thing. i must remember how lucky i am to have these babies. i must give my thanks to Heavenly Father daily for such miracles in my life. i thank this dear lady for sorrowfully reminding me to be grateful. to stop being selfish and remember what wonderful things i have in my life. my heart desperately aches for her, but i know she has placed herself in the Lord's hands and with that she will be healed fully and completely. He is the only one who can do that, and He will. He will.
please read her incredible post. she is most amazing. go [HERE].
may you give your babies hugs and kisses and give thanks to our loving Father in Heaven, for he truly loves his mothers and children here on earth and in heaven.
