Tonight, there is a parent praying that her child will be carried out of this world into the next so that the present suffering will end. Somewhere else, there is a parent-to-hopefully-be praying that his future child will be carried into this world tonight so that the future joy can begin. Both prayers and situations are heartbreaking in their own right and their own merit. And both require a massive amount of strength that neither person would really have ever wanted to have developed.
Tonight as I desperately pray for a return of my missing symptoms, on the same day that our triplets were found to be gone, so that we can have peace for another day and someday bring our child into this world, I also stand in shear amazement and utter admiration of a certain mother calmly, yet fiercely, praying for a peaceful journey as her very ill child crosses out of this world and into the next.
thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of pain in this world. I'm hoping your missing symptoms are just the nature of symptoms (they come and go) and not a sign of something else. Are you going to get the OB to check? Hoping for the best...
