When tragedy befalls you


"Don't let them bring you down
Love can cure your problem
You're so lucky I'm around
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart"
Many of you know that I was nine weeks pregnant. On a Thursday, Pat and I went to the Dr. for our first appointment. We saw the baby and heard it's beautiful heart beat. The Dr. measured it at 7 weeks. All we know is that there must have been something wrong because the very next day I had a miscarriage. I never knew how awfully painful physically and emotionally it could be. Pat and I were able to get a way for a week. Spending time alone with him was the best choice we made. I'm not quite sure what I am supposed to learn from this trial. But I have learned the power of prayer and love. Every time someone has expressed their love for me I have felt the spirit, and even though it makes me cry, it is wonderfully comforting. I am so grateful for all of your love and support, I couldn't have done it alone.
