It was terrible.
It was devastating.
It was severely disappointing.
But more than that I found God (not like He hides but I found myself more aware of needing Him) in places I never expected. I can honestly say that I am thankful for this year because it brought me the beautiful gift of motherhood.
If I had the chance to do it over, I would do it all over again. Every second of it. Because I knew at the end of the year - today - I have met my daughter. I have seen her. I have watched her. I have sang to her. I have read to her. I have talked to her. I have fought for her. And I got the chance to love her.
With that said, I am glad it's over, or near over. I cringe at the thought that the worst has been met. I enter this new year cautiously as I know things can change in the blink of an eye.
I truly hope and pray that 2010 brings unspeakable joy and peace into your lives.

The world is full of sadness but God is good.
Agreed. I'd do it all over again to relive those moments with her. May 2010 be kind and gentle on you (on all of us).
So beautifully put - while our losses may be filled with sadness, we wouldn't trade our time with our babies for the world. Hugs and peace to you.
I think all of us who have lost our babies this year just have and incredibly bittersweet feeling towards the year.
Wishing you peace for the upcoming year!
*hugs*
