at peace...

I am finally at peace with the loss of our first child. It has been 2 years since we lost him. I still feel the sadness that sunk in when we had our 12 week ultrasound and did not see a heartbeat. The event of losing a child never leaves a parent's heart. I am however realizing that that baby had a purpose in his short life. He made us stronger. He gave us the opportunities that we are living out today. He made us truly lean on each other. He made us grow in ways we never thought possible. He made us realize just how much we wanted to be parents. He instilled in us an appreciation for life. And for all of these reasons and more, we are so thankful for him.
