Hope Springs Eternal

Just wanted to share a little story with you...Here is the preface: Last Tuesday, when I found out there was no longer a heartbeat, Owen just happened to be with me. Of course, I was sad and crying. So...when we came home the first thing Owen said to Tom was "That lady made mommy cry." He is such a sensitive soul. My sweet little boy.

So, yesterday, while driving in the car...I felt a sense of hope (and some sadness at the same time). The sun was shining, things are turning green everywhere and flowers are blooming. I couldn't help thinking that this is all new life and it gave me hope for the future. I then thought of the words..."hope springs eternal." I just can't give up hope. So I just kept thinking about all of that and then Owen, out of the blue and completely randomly asks, "did that lady make you sad?" I was in complete awe. I had not said a word and then Owen says this! How on earth did he know that I was thinking about being sad? He must have ESP or something. :) So I told him the lady didn't really make me sad....that I was just sad that the baby was gone. He then says, "the baby will come back again." Those words may be from the mouth of an almost 3 year old but their meaning is great and they gave me hope. Deep down, maybe he even knows that someday there will be another baby. I'm going to take his word for it. Just have to keep the faith and keep on hoping.....


On a lighter note...a few photos of Owen playing catch with his Daddy




I love that little belly
