- A husband who tolerates my crazy, enjoys the fact that I laugh at my own jokes even when they aren't funny, and who makes me a better version of me
- Family who comfort me when I'm sad (and cry with me!), who listen when I need to talk, who make me smile, and who are proud of me even when I'm not proud of myself
- Memories of my daughter even when they make me cry, the positive pregnancy test, the "bean" on the first ultrasound picture, the whoosh of her heartbeat, planning just how she would fit into our lives
- A church community that supports me and allows me to grieve
- A youth group who inspires me, entertains me, and gives me hope
- The ability and desire to get up every day
- Light at the end of the tunnel even when things just suck!
- Positive pregnancy test number two and a strong heartbeat right away!!
- Doctors and nurse practitioners who anticipate my anxiety and do everything they can to reassure me
- A wiggly baby! I need the reminders everyday that my son is growing and changing, that his heart is still beating, that this pregnancy is different.
- The knowledge that grief is an inevitable part of life, but that it is not insurmountable. God is good even when life is hard.
A LOT of Gratitude
