It is the beginning of Fall 2010.
I see Fall differently now that I'm a Wife and Mama. I relate Fall to the cozy memories of my childhood. Fall Festivals with Pilgrims and Indians...Carmel Apples, (well, apples in general.. Homemade Applesauce) A new long sleeve shirt from Mom, that she probably found a great deal on. :) Thanks Mom.. not just for the shirt, but all of the above. I wouldn't have this motherly instinct to nurture and provide lasting memories if it weren't for your example.
It's Tuesday, September 14th.. I'm sitting here at my parents house..my mom is making Applesauce..again. But funny thing is, she hasn't made it in years. But it feels like yesterday, a very familiar feeling. Comforting even.
This isn't the announcement I thought I'd be making, and I wasn't sure if I'd even announce it. But I thought my blog would be a special place to do it. I can look back and hopefully this will be comforting.
Yesterday, September 13th I would have been 11 weeks and 1 day pregnant..
We found out via ultra-sound that our sweet baby passed at 9 weeks. :(
Through great big, hot tears... Mommy & Daddy saw you.
We saw your sweet little head and body.
Daddy and Mommy and Big Sis were so very excited to meet you! We always will love you and we can't wait to meet you one day.
We are so thankful you're with Jesus.. That's Mommy's greatest source of comfort through this hard time, because she misses you.
Tears.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all comfort, who encourages us us in our every affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction with the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Praying for you all, Hope. I pray the Lord's promises be more true to you than ever and that you rest in His perfect plan in all of this. *Hug
Hope, I am sooo sorry you are going through this...I wish I could take all the hurt away, but I cannot...I can only pray that our wonderful, amazing Father in Heaven give you the comfort that you need each and every day! Hugs and Prayers! Cynetta
