Our loss

It has taken me awhile to find the words, but in late April, I had a miscarriage.  Oh how much I would have given to have kept that littlest of life. It does something to you to lose a child, even one you knew of so briefly.

This blog is the only semblance of a family record we have, and our second baby will be a part of our family always. I am humbled by the truest of friends who cried with me and family who took care of us.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,

because the Lord has anointed me

to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor

and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion—

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

instead of ashes,

the oil of joy

instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair.

They will be called oaks of righteousness,

a planting of the Lord

for the display of his splendor.

Isaiah 61:1-3

I love you and a part of me will always long to meet you.
