The road is rocky but the sunset beautiful....

Oh how I have missed this....

I haven't blogged for a long time. Not really because I didn't have anything to say...it was more because, I wasn't sure how to say it.

I had a miscarriage in April.
We found at we were expecting and were very excited. We started planning how our life and family would be changing. We were getting very excited about our Thanksgiving baby. Then things went wrong....
It was devastating news, but we came thru the sadness, pain, and frustration stronger than we went in. That's what really matters...right?

I decided to share my experience, not for sympathy because we are doing great, only so that I could share the personal growth that has taken place because of this event.

Maybe this is God's way of reminding us of all of the amazing blessings in our life. I believe that every difficult moment or event that we are faced with is a test of our character. How we cope with our sadness, how well we manage our frustration, and how we cherish our family all helps us build a better 'me'.

I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to go thru this event in my life.
It has proven to me that I am a strong person, both emotionally and physically.
It has also shown me that no matter how strong I can be...I need people. I don't ALWAYS have to be strong.
I feel a stronger bond with my husband, we cherish our relationship and know we can endure sadness and pain together and our bond becomes even stronger.
It has made me more aware of the miracle, children really are.
It has made me love, even more, every silly song, quirky smile, and sweet giggle from my little ladies.
Lastly,
It has made me aware and appreciate more deeply everything and everyone in my life that I love and for that I am deeply greatly for this experience.

God Bless,
Holly
