First Post - Perspective

A story about love, loss, faith & growth.

There is a longer story here if you wish to read it. In short, our sweet baby has been diagnosed with a form of dwarfism.  His chest is small and the specialists we have seen say it may be fatal. This means that I could carry to term and our sweet baby could live only a few hours outside the womb or could live a long, independent life with some limitations. 

I have learned about steadfast,

unconditional love.

 

I have learned about a pain

I didn’t know existed;

pain that leaves you wounded,

empty & gasping for air.

 

I have learned about a deep longing

for something that I have no control over.

 

I am uncertain about what the future holds.

My certainty lies in the love I have for my baby.

My certainty lies in the love that God has for me.

I believe in miracles. I pray and ask for this little ones chest to grow.

I also know and understand that God’s answer might be no.

I choose not to be angry with my God. I don’t know why I was chosen but God has a plan and I will continue to praise him through this uncertainty.
