11.22.10

11.22.10 - Christmas is a happy time and I'm not trying to be sad but the past few days my heart has been heavy, like it tends to be around this time of year.  It's been 7 years since we lost our first baby and while I may not have been that far along it was still a traumatic experience and one I wish I never had to live through.  However in life to experience the joys you also have to experience sorrow.  Our life is so full of joy and for that I am truly blessed and thankful.
