She said, “I hope what happened last time, doesn’t happen again.” I smiled into those flannel gray eyes and said, “I know, honey.”
There are no guarantees and heartache is something no one is immune to. But, my children do not live in fear. In fact, you would never be able to tell by looking at our happy little family that anything tragic had ever happened to us.
It’s not that my children don’t grieve and remember. It’s the fact that joy supersedes that grief and the happy memories outweigh the sad.
Today, you can find me at Raising Homemakers talking about The Impact of Miscarriage on Our Daughters. Will you leave your children a legacy of sorrow or one of victory?

Amy, every now and then, our children will ask about our first baby…we talk about it… do they have a sister or a brother in Heaven? Are they aging or remaining a baby? What will it be like to meet that sibling? All of these tough questions, but great to consider…that they are learning an eternal thought process as they consider their brother/sister being with their Nana and my oldest brother…and their GrandFather….sitting at the feet of the Father…waiting for us. They haven witnessed the grief of loss…and through that…gaining an eternal thought perspective. And..my daughter, should she ever face the same loss or my sons…should their wives, they know they have a Mom who has been there, still mourns the loss, but celebrates the life to be lived in eternity! Loving you deeply and lifting you and your family in prayer!
