thoughts of thad

this week would have been the week we would have had thaddeus. our due date was february 14th, but with a c-section, you have them 1-2 weeks before that. so, we figure that today could have been one of our first days home with him. i hadn't thought much of it for many weeks...but now that we are at the day...it is a day to remember him and our very short 12 weeks carrying him. while we would love to be bringing him home, we understand that there was a reason that this did not happen and we are thankful for the way that God strengthened and taught us through the experience. we are also thankful for so many friends and family that were there through the whole thing. i am not the greatest at moving on to new chapters in life, but know that my peace only comes from Christ. we might not always understand the direction that we are going, but we do know that no matter what...He is there with us.

    Annette,
    You're not alone in grieving for a child you never got to hold. I hope that Aaron and the boys can be a real source of love and comfort for you.
