Pretty Flowers


These flowers are for all the women who have had a miscarriage.  I had one yesterday and I was 6 1/2 weeks pregnant.
I know as a mom I will never forget that horrible day of miscarrying.  I also know I will never forget the love I already felt for a life growing within me, even one so short.  I can't believe so many women go through this.  I feel peace, and will be fine, but still so sad.  Nate is just as sad.  I am lucky to have a family that needs me to keep on going and finding joy.  I am also lucky to have such kind, thoughtful friends nearby that encircle me in their love.  I would wish every woman who has experienced such trauma was so blessed.

You let things make you stronger and better and that's very admirable. It would be so tough and I've had so many people close to me have to suffer with these things lately it's sad and scary and I know you'll be ok because your strong and that it'll just make you even more caring understanding and empathetic though you already are great with those. I'm always here for you whatever you need. Glad your close. Had a good time with you today thanks for letting me tag along and walk with you ;)>. Love, Jill

Aw, my sweet compy (I'm so happy that we never stop being that). I love you and send my tightest hugs and warmest tears from across the miles. Happily, the story doesn't end here--gear up for those stretch marks and swollen ankles. Jr just wants a different b-day! xoxo

I have been there and understand your feelings of love and loss completely... When I miscarried my oldest was 4 and he sweetly said, " Mom, the baby just wasn't ready to leave Heaven yet. It is too beautiful there." And at that moment I looked up and stopped my crying and held the babies I had. But never stopped missing the one I lost. Sometimes I still feel like I am missing one, but I look forward to raising that baby someday in Heaven. You and your family are in my prayers. Love you to pieces!

I love you Jen and I pray that you may find peace in your loss. I know you will be greatly blessed for your desire to have more children. We never know what God's plan is for us and what timings he has in mind, but we can take comfort in the fact that He knows best and he knows the future thus His timing is best. That is what gives me comfort in a world full of unknowns. You are a wonderful friend, Jen my prayers are with you. Sure Love Ya. We will be in Ut the end of this month and first week of July. We would love to see you guys.
