Due Day

Rapidly Aubrey's due date is approaching, and I feel miserable. I am forced to listen to others around me talk about how their babies are due in a few weeks when I should be welcoming mine home.

I never realized how long 40 weeks is. I never realized what can happen in that amount of time. It seems like forever ago that I was happily sharing the news of my first pregnancy with my family and friends. It seems like forever since we found out our baby was gone.

On June 11th Aubrey Taylor was due to be born. I plan to spend that day reflecting on how much joy my child brought to my life the short time it was with me. I ask you to remember Aubrey in your prayers for me.

On November 18th the raspberry baby was due to be born. It was such an amazing thought that our second baby would be due on the one year anniversary of when our first baby was lost. But it was not to be. Take this day to remember someone in your prayers who has lost a child.

Also remember this thought ALWAYS: Not every seed you plant will grow. Sometimes you have to sow the garden a second time. This is true for all things that you must start and create: ideas, gardens, and children. If everyone quit after a few failures our world would not have advanced to the level it has. We would still live in caves.
