April Showers

Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway, they connect at the roots.

During our treatment I have begun to learn the art of saying no. It's a really difficult thing to do . . . often times I am filled with guilt and the over analyzation of social etiquette. But even harder than saying no is to say yes. Yes to the showering of gifts. And I will say that Nathan and I have truly learned the meaning of April showers.

When I think about all that each of you have done to support us in your own unique way I want to cry. Thank you for your cards, your dinners, your gifts, your flowers, your presence while I cry to you on the phone, your patience, your prayers, your love.

While our hearts feel like something is truly missing as they are actively yearning for a baby, they are also filled with joy and humilty for your proactive support and love. What a blessing from God to be given such a supportive community of friends and family. Thanks again for being our blessing next to the wound. We need you and we love you.

Thanks for loving on us.
