When you feel pain in your heart...

Today I struggle with emotions of pain, love, hope, joy, and devestation. My brother and his wife Melissa lost what would have been their first child yesterday, and I am so hurt. I hurt because I love them both so much, and knowing they are in pain is almost unbearable.




I feel devestated and would love to be able to take their pain away because I know they feel empty, and years later...that emptiness is never filled. But, I feel hope for them that they will heal to the point they decide it is worth the risk to try again.




I feel joy that we have friends and family to hold us when we are at our limit of tears and fear.




Today is a sad day.
