It’s crazy how much changes in one year. And it’s just as crazy how much doesn’t change.
January I wrote a post on What Makes a Rainbow, inspired by a sweet children’s book. February I got a glimpse of grace. In March, our highways and fields were visited by gorgeous bluebonnets.
In April I was so thankful for the retreat. May was an impossible mix of emotions- with so much to celebrate and so much to remember.
In June, I wrote a little post on the joy grandparents must feel, and more so with a rainbow child. July it sank deep deep into my soul that the same God that took our daughter home was the same God that gave us our sweet boy.
In August, we took a fun road trip (my friend Katie, Bubby and me) to Nashville. So. Much. Fun. {ahem- i’m hopefully returning in february for this!}
September I got reminded of a different hope.
October quickly turned into the hardest month of the entire year, as I watched my dear friend prepare to say goodbye forever to her only daughter. I also wondered about this beautiful mystery.
In November something happened that made me rethink everything.
As Christmas approached, and festivities danced on every side, I tried to capture the reality of the unseen- the world that is entirely your own, when you’ve lost a child.
Such a beautiful, bittersweet year.
An amazing year…looking forward to the adventure of 2012. Blessings to you!
