Spring is here and everything is coming alive again! Our family is doing the same. With that being said, I've decided to join the blog craze. I've done this for a couple reasons. It's a very easy way to keep our loved ones updated on what's going on with our family, but also as a therapy tool. On March 19, 2010 we learned that we had a miscarriage. This was our first pregnancy and though the pain will never go away we have to move on. We love that baby and although we will never meet during our time here on earth, we know we will be reunited one day. I feel that writing and talking about it have been very therapeutic. So, here I am.
During this sadness, God has shown us how blessed we are and that no matter how hard this is we still have so many things to be happy about. I will never find the words to express how much we appreciate the amazing love and support we have received during this time. My faith has been such a driving force in helping us to cope with our loss. I fully believe that God has a plan for our family and in His time He will bless us with a beautiful bundle of joy. In the meantime we have a HUGE support system with so many people that love and care for us and two of the sweetest, most loving 4 legged children on the planet! Dogs amaze me...their love is so unconditional. Chloe and Clawson make everything better!
I am also so proud of my husband with how he has dealt with our loss and how he has helped me to cope. Benji has been everything I needed him to be during all this. I know God brought us together for a reason and I thank Him everyday for blessing me with a wonderful husband. Benji is my best friend and I couldn't imagine my life without him.
Again, we thank everyone for their love and support. You'll never know how much it means to us. We love you so much!
Until next time...
Suzi,
ReplyDeleteI,too, had a miscarriage many years ago. God had blessed me with two children, Blake and Casey, but I wanted another child.
It was not meant to be because God had a greater plan. That plan is finally unfolding and I am now understanding why I didn't have that child.
My son died 3 years ago and left a daughter, Victoria. She has always been a part of our life since the day she was born. This
past August, her mother died of breast cancer. Both parents died at the age of 32. We are now proud parents of a daughter, 16, full of energy. I am back in the carpool line at the age of 59, picking up wet towels and praying to God constantly to give me the energy, wisdom and love it will take to raise this child.
Isn't it strange how God works? He has great plans for His children and we have to be patient and trust Him knowing that He will take care of us. And when we put our trust in Him, we will see awesome things unfold in our lives.
Benji grew up in my church and his family is very special to me. When I saw your blog on Facebook, I had to respond.
Please know that I will be praying that God will cover both of you with His peace and that you will feel His love.
Always Believing,
Teresa Bretzmann
