Rough Holiday Season
Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great Holiday. I have had a rough one. My life has been going so well for so long I guess things were due to happen. I had a miscarriage right before Christmas (really got me in the mood for Christmas!). Then a few days later when we went to pack up my grandmothers house to sell, the place had been broken into, and there were a lot of things missing. However, even those things happened I still managed to have a wonderful Christmas. My family cleaned up my grandmothers while reminiscing about the old days, and instead of cooking we went out to a nice dinner. We had a great time. I had a hard time getting over the end of my pregnancy, but since it happened so early on, about 9 weeks(that I am thankful for that it wasn't much later) that made it a bit easier. We spent Christmas at home with my boys and my husband's mom. It was a wonderful, quiet,(except for the new toys), and a happy Christmas. When Christmas day came I thought back at all that had happened and then I looked around at my family, and I just felt to humble to have what I have. I started to cry and my husband thought it was because of all that happened and I said," No, its because of whats happening right now." I have an amazing husband and I still wonder how I got so lucky, two adorable kids who light up my world with every glance, and a mother in law like no other (in a good way). So even though it was rough, it was a great Holiday. I hope all you Holiday's were great too. Happy New Year! 6 comments from 6 users

I'm sorry so much happened to you in such a short amount of time. Good for you for finding and focusing on the good rather than letting the bad swallow you and your joy in the season. When my son was 2, my grandfather had surgery for prostate cancer. I had no dad around and he was my dad growing up, so it was really hard to put on a happy face that year. The following year was one of the best yet! He was there to celebrate with us, and still is. Good for you for focusing on the joy in your life! Happy New Year! posted by

It does seem to me that when difficult things happen, that they seem to happen all at once. It can be incredibly overwhelming. It seems that you are strong and supported, so that is great. I hope for nothing but good things for you in 2008.

I can understand the disappointment and sorrow you felt when you miscarried. I had a miscarriage at 8.5 weeks and it was devestating. It was my 2nd pregnancy, but it wasn't the right time for us. Six weeks later I got pregnant again and now my daughter is almost 6 months old. Sounds like you're able to see the good in all situations. Happy thoughts for 2008. posted by

Thanks for posting this. It was a joy to read. Finding the proper perspective as we struggle through difficult times is sometimes the hardest part. Looks like you nailed that with flying colors.
Sorry for your loss none the less and here's to hoping 08 will have double fold blessings in store for you and family.
