We found out yesterday that Ryan and Jeana had a miscarriage. My heart goes out to them. To lose this little person, someone you never met, but feel like you know from the moment you find out you are pregnant-must be an indescribable pain.
Hearing your unborn child's heartbeat for the first time is one of those miraculous moments in life. At the time, you think, surely this is the most amazing sound in the whole world.
Then, you hear that child's first cry as he enters the world-and you think-This is the most amazing sound in the world.
Then, one day, your baby calls you "Mama"-and you think-This is the most amazing sound in the world.
Then, not long after that, that same little person, whom you love more than anything, says "I love you, Mama"-and you are absolutely sure this is the most amazing sound in the world.
Then, a couple of years later, that same little person, now 4 years old, while eating breakfast just this morning, says "Mom, did you know there are people who do not have any food to eat?"
"I know, honey, what do you think we should do for them?"
"Let's feed them, Mom"
Now, that is amazing!
While my heart is breaking for Ryan and Jeana, and I am crying as I write this thinking about the first time I heard Jax and Cole's heartbeats, and their first cries, etc....I am also celebrating the maturity of my little boy, who has such a kind heart, and wants to help others in need. I think we all try to instill in our children a kind and giving heart, and some days the Lord lets us see that we are doing this parenting thing right, after all.
I am fervently looking forward to another Harper pregnancy in the near future.
