A year ago today...

A year ago today was a dark and depressing day. It was raining. I real down-pour. I know this because the weather was a symbol of what was going on in my heart. My heart was aching terribly because that was the day we lost our baby. I had gone into the Doctor's office to have an ultrasound and excited to see our baby and finally get a due date. But, instead, I walked out knowing I'd never get to hold my baby in my arms. I was heart broken. My dear friend, Rene was with me. Thank goodness! I never thought this kind of thing would ever happen to me. This past year has not been easy. I'm not sure why it happened but it did and I have a little angel up in heaven waiting for me. That brings me peace and makes it a little easier to go on especially when I see little babies that should be the age of mine right now. I look in their eyes and hope that they know who my child is and that they were friends in heaven.

Laura, I am so sorry that you are sad. I know you'll see your baby again! I love you and I'm here any time you want to talk.
Love you!

I'm so sorry! I've never had a miscarriage, but I think it would be devastating! I'm sure it's still very hard some days, but I'm glad you've found at least a little peace, knowing that your sweet baby will be waiting for you in Heaven. Hang in there. :)

I know, it's hard to understand unless you've gone through it. There will be many sweet reunions between child and mother.

Laura,
This just made me cry. I didn't realize the exact date had passed. There's some kind of comfort thinking about our lost babies - just to remind ourselves that they really existed and that we did love and want them! When I think about the one we lost I look at Hannah and to think they may have known each other in heaven brings me joy!

It has been a long time. I am sorry so much time has past since we have been in touch. I am sorry we weren't there for you on day like this. We do think of your sweet family often and many times wish we could enjoy Texas weather with you again. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Abby was there and you can hold her any time. I love you. My heart still aches for you.
