Yesterday I wrote about how Hannah's case reads much like a baby born much earlier than she was. It has become my little rain cloud that I have allowed to follow me around. A little cloud filled with the "what ifs". It eats at me a little everyday when I let my brain slow down enough to wander. But today, I had a brutal slap of reality that reminded me of a very, very important lesson. Hannah is here. She is at home with us. She is able to develop as a normal baby and hopefully like a normal kid. And if we are really lucky, she'll fall in love, get married and have healthy beautiful grand babies for us to coo over.
Two beautiful little babies did not survive their fight with prematurity today. These tiny little angels have touched more lives than we will ever know. But for me, these tiny angels reminded me that even though I have my little rain cloud, at least it isn't a downpour. I can still see the light even if the cloud is threatening to rain. I try not to focus on the "at least it isn't worse" here on my blog. That is the whole reason I started my blog. To have a place that I could be truly honest with my fears, sorrows and frustrations. But I can't get these families out of my head. I just keep thinking about them and their babies and the agony that they must be in tonight. Please pray for these families that have had their hearts broken. Please pray for all of those angels who were called home far too soon and the families that they touched on their way.
