Something I've been thinking about

I know I've had a lot of questions about how the graveside service went. Hopefully I can post all about that soon. I'm too tired right now. But there is something I've been thinking about a whole bunch and I want to share.

A few weeks ago I was thinking that Doug and I had been through just about everything in the years we'd been married. I thought; "About the only thing we haven't been through together is to bury a child and I sure hope that is not something we ever have to go through." (I figure one day we are going to have to bury one of us but unfortunately we can't go through that together.) Well, little did I know that in just a few short weeks we would be doing just that. Last night as Doug and I were talking I said to him; "I'm sorry we have to go through this. But I'm so glad we have each other to go through it with." I've been thinking about that a lot. No one else knows exactly what we've been through the last 10 days except for us. We've seen the bad together and felt the physical & emotional pain and we've also felt the good and the peace together. No one else knows the hopes and dreams we tied up in this little baby. I know that at times like this often couples grow apart. I pray that doesn't happen to us. So far we are growing closer together and I hope that by leaning on each other and having patience with each other that closeness will grow. I love you Doug! I am looking forward to the rest of eternity together!
