January 29th

Two years ago today

We lost our first baby

This shell was his/her first present.

I remember the day so vividly

My heart was so broken

I cried and cried until I was exhausted and passed out.

I felt empty and fearful

I worried we would never experience the birth of a child

And yet, I praised Him

I am thankful for the lows in life

They teach us how to fall to our knees

How to be humbled

And how to trust

I am forever grateful for our first baby and they will never be forgotten.

You give and take away

You give and take away

My heart with choose to say

Lord, blessed be Your name.
