First let me say that I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I have lost many children late in pregnancy but can not begin to imagine the heartache that you must have felt after holding your precious angel in your arms only to lose her. The bliss you must have felt I can imagine was nothing short of fantastic and the sorrow that you have endured I can imagine has been horrendous. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, and I truly hope that with time you will be able to ease your heartache a little. Congratulations on your soon to be newest edition to your family. I pray that God watches over you all and that you will enjoy many wonderful years with your little one.
Please be sure to let us all know when the joyous event occurs :) I must thank you for this message board. As I said Sharon when she told me of your board, I believe that many people will benefit from your heartfelt words and from the words and thoughts of others. It is so nice to know that there is a place where one can come for peace, grieving, compassion and understanding. You have started something wonderful here and I would like to thank you for that.
I will be back often
Take care and may God Bless and Keep You
Cynthia
