Babies

Loved this.
Marta always puts things so much more eloquently, succinctly and thoughtfully than I ever could.

Why be sad because I lost a baby?
I certainly don't begrudge anyone a new baby because I miscarried - not at all.
I still feel sad - certainly - sometimes.
But I feel excited for friends and family when they are expecting new little ones.

Life is so full of unexpected things, I am finding.

(And not just for me. I have so many friends & loved ones who are facing challenges - often very serious ones - health, divorce, spiritual crises - you name it - that my little sadnesses and concerns seem so trivial. I am more than fine in comparison. I am blessed - extremely so! Need to remember this more often.)

Congrats on baby E's arrival, Victoria!
