It wasnt until I was pregnant again and praying that God would let us keep Alexander that the comment came into my head that God isnt "taking" anything from me... That God gave me the joy of carrying Nicholas, Sophia, and Alexander, of being their mom, and that, if it was their journey to go home to Him sooner than we'd like, that was okay... That none of us know when it is our time to return to God's kingdom and that we should embrace their journey. Dont get me wrong. It is the hardest thing I do every day. It breaks my heart to know that my three babies spent so little time on this earth and that I'll never get to watch them grow up or hold them again here. I try to remember that I will see them again one day when the pain gets really bad. It doesnt seem fair to ask us to bear the pain of losing one child, let alone more than one. I know that God has a plan, but sometimes I really, really wish that I knew what it was.
