{two} months

it has been 2 months since the day that we walked out of the hospital for the second time with no baby in tow.  it has been 2 months since we experienced again the pain that can be caused in a broken world where there are no promises of what we think we deserve.  but, it has also been 2 months where we have seen that...

God is good, no matter what we feel
pain is real
everyone has a story and our story belongs to our Savior
children are resilient 
marriages can be strengthened in hardship
community is necessary
sometimes you can be blessed by someone who is completely unaware
long, hard cries are healing
faking a smile is not in your best interest
bubble baths bring a necessary quiet time
it is easy to project anger in inappropriate places
grandparents are a gift
everyone has pain at some level
people really want to help, but often don't know how
putting on makeup can improve your mood
sometimes parents need to put themselves in timeout
prayer is essential

we long for heaven and to know our boys
we long for jesus and to know him more
