As we reflect on 2010, we are filled with so many emotions. We grieve the child we lost in March. We grieve the ideal, full-term pregnancy we expected and did not get. But, we are THANKFUL for so much as well. We are thankful for each one of you, whether we see you daily, yearly, or haven't seen you in several years, we are so GRATEFUL for your support. We have experienced love from so many people, most of whom we know, but some of whom we don't. Thank you for supporting us in our journey. We are most thankful for your prayers, for lifting us up when we can't lift ourselves up. We are thankful for meals, for notes of encouragement, for help with cleaning, for help with laundry, for help with finances. Thank you to all of you.
As we enter a new year, we know that much will be revealed about our children's abilities and/or disabilities. We are praying for a year of miracles. A year in which God reveals his goodness to us in ways we have never experienced before. We are praying for energy, strength, and patience to provide a loving, nurturting environment for these children. Thank you for traveling this road with us, for praying alongside us, for loving our children, and trusting our God.
