There are so many times that I focus on the negative whether I mean to or not. So many times I complain about needing time to myself, without taking in account the perks and blessings I get every day. Every day Aly surprises me with how much she's learned, how sweet and helpful she strives to be, as well as filling my life with laughter at her antics. Lorelei constantly takes my breath away with her sweet, sweet personality and gorgeous smile. They are healthy, above the average, and so much easier to handle than other children. Even the biggest concern I had while pregnant with them was pih.
One of my friends recently had a miscarriage. She was so excited, and close to 5 months. He would have been her first. I can't imagine how much pain she is in, nor do I know what to say, as I have been so completely blessed with my own family. All I can do is thank God for my girls and appreciate what they have and continue to give me.
Bethany, I'm so sorry your friend has to go through this pain. I'll keep her in my prayers (I don't know who she is, but the Lord does.) Blessed is also being a Mother-in-law that has Daughter-in-laws that love their familes!
