It is what it is. And now it's over.

It used to make me stop and wonder "why."
It's been a while since it was upsetting for me to see a woman pregnant with her 2nd or 3rd child and it no longer even elicits a slight sad sigh. You see, after a series of miscarriages, we decided to stop trying for another child over 5 years ago.
Bottom line, I am so very thankful for what we have and simply nothing can compare with the bright, bold and joyful little girl growing up right before my very eyes. I am closing the cover on this book, officially, in black and white, for good.

Oh, my dear, dear friend. How can you be so brave to share this with the world. My heart is with you today....
I find that putting things in writing the way you just did has a very positive effect on my emotions and actions in the way signing a contract solidifies a deal. I'm happy for you.
Lisa- I am wishing you a very happy New year, and I am very blessed to read about you. My hope is you have closure, peace, health, and much wealth. You have an amazing famiy, and an adorable Girl. Tarah is an angel. Thanks for sharing such a personal story.
You are remarkable. And you have a remarkable daughter.
List, I am so sorry about your miscarriages. I admire your fortitude and strength to not only deal with those losses, but the loss of a dream for another child. Sometimes it is in the letting go that we receive more than we could ever dream or imagine. I pray this is abundantly true for you.
Sending you hugs.....
Reading this post reminded me that there is strength in vulnerability. Thank you for sharing. Wishing beautiful things for you and your family...
My old friend,
I haven't been reading and am catching up by scanning 1000+ feeds and then BOOM, there's my dear, sweet girl out here writing about something I should have been there to HEAR. This is a bittersweet post of hope and acceptance and joy in the love that you have in your life. While standing on top of the cover of that book, hold that beautiful little girl high above your head baby! You have made an incredible, magical and FULL life for you and your beautiful family. Glad to see you celebrate it!
