Sometimes Love Can Break Your Heart...that's how I felt last night, I guess that's how I feel today even. Having been so excited to head to the salon for a haircut, I had a heavy heart. I've been super busy with the kids, traveling, etc and had a few things on my mind. As I sat in the chair chatting it up with my stylist, who've I've seen for years, we talked about life, mostly just my kids and adjusting with three kids under the age of four. Somehow, I had mentioned their ages and that I had had a miscarriage. She asked me about it. Then she said, with tears welled in her eyes, she had lost her baby back in September. I saw her very raw emotion and I felt her pain. I've been there, God called a baby home before I was able to meet him/her. She continued to tell me that she lost the baby a week or so after she heard the heartbeat. I sat there with a broken heart for her loss and also feeling my loss all over again. Sometimes love can break your heart, those are some lyrics to some random song from the 90's and I don't know much more than that...but today the tune and those simple words keeping ringing in my ears because sometimes love can break your heart.
Sometimes a broken heart can remind me what I've been given. So today my broken heart causes me to kiss my three little blessings a couple more times, to hug them a little tighter, and praise God that though there is one of my babies in heaven with Him, I recognize these blessings He's trusted me to take care of here on earth!

Wow, thanks for writing that. I also had 2 miscarriages and remember how painful it was to go through. Now that I have 4 healthy children a lot of times I forget about the ones I lost. Until today of course :)
I can't imagine the pain. I'm glad you felt the need to tell her though, it seemed she needed to hear your story, that you got through it and have a new blessing! Give those sweeties kisses from me! Love you! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. Brought tears to my eyes. Gonna go hug my kiddos now. :)
