Reality

This one is going to be heavy, so be prepared.

In the past week, I have had two good friends go through miscarriages. Since we have been married, I haven't had to deal with friends losing babies. This is the first time that I have been hit this hard by something like this. My heart BREAKS for these friends.

I think the reason it hits me so hard is that pregnancy is a very real situation for us now. It could happen any time no matter what precautions we do or don't take. I don't even like using terms such as precautions in regards to a pregnancy, like its swine flu or the common cold or AIDS. Those are things you take precautions against. Pregnancy is a gift, a child, a life. To lose a child, whether born or unborn, must be heart wrenching. My prayer is that these friends can live through the pain. I don't have many more words. I can't even begin to imagine...I just can't imagine anything. My prayer is comfort, peace, and closeness now more than ever.
