This is a tough day...

5 years ago today I delivered my 5th child.  tears, more tears!!!  Any of you who have been here before can see by the picture of our family that we have 3 kids...the other 3 are with our Heavenly Father!  This day marks the end of a very long two weeks.  We had learned, at 14 weeks that our precious baby's heart had stopped beating at 9 weeks, then the waiting began.  My body went into labor, my water broke, and there was pain of labor.  None of this compared to the pain we had already felt as we were greaving the loss of our child!!  Then later this same day I almost lost my life due to complications.  After a day we will never forget and so many things we could be bitter about, I praise God for mercy!!  We rest in the knowladge that Trey is with Him, that we were blessed to hold on to these 3, and that the Holy Spirit allowed our hearts to remain soft in a time that could have hardened them!  This is a tough day!!
