A mountain

November 14th, 2008

Today I face a mountain.  It’s one I dread, it’s one that hurts, it’s one that I know will soon be over.  It may be with tears and with sadness, but it’s a mountain I will climb, I have no choice.

One year ago today, our lives changed forever when we found out I was pregnant.  Oh my God, we were so excited.

I knew these milestones would be hard, but I didn’t know they could hurt this much.

    A mountain you’ve reached and a mountain you will pass with grace and the support of family and friends.

    We are remembering James and Jake more than ever today. It’s amazing to me how much we can dread a mountain and its immenseness and having to climb it, but mountains are also often something that can be breathtaking, the subject of photos and paintings, a place where we make memories and accomplishments, and something we love to behold.

    The amazing thing about mountains is that once you climb them, you find ways to make the climbing easier–maybe not any less painful, but like Steph said, there are things of great beauty in those mountains . And until then, just know that there are so many people giving their love and support to help you climb these mountains.

    These days will always hold significance to you. The day you found out you were pregnant, the first time you saw them and found the joy of twins, the day your world changed forever. These will be days that are not easy. Take comfort in the prayers that others are offering Heavenward in your name.
    Much love to you and your sweet family today and always.
