Have an Imperfectly Happy Holiday

[sewnutzcl1]

Dawn from the converstations we had yesterday you seem to be doing fine, I know you want to make the best of the holidays for everyone including your daughter, and I'm sure you will. You are a strong woman and will get through this, we've all had hard times in our lives that we didn't know how to manage but somehow we did it, sometimes not even realizing how. Just have faith that God will bring you through and he will!

Five years ago, my nephew died on December 19th, and it hasn't been the same ever since. This year was supposed to be different, I was newly and happily married, and newly pregnant...seemed like things were taking a turn for the better...until a week ago. A miscarriage two weeks before Christmas...I really don't care to feel anything this holiday season, but I don't wanna ruin anyone else's either...what can I do? How can I possibly go anywhere without bringing sadness and melancholy wherever I go??

Oh yeah, and on top of all this, when I pick up my 9 year-old daughter on Christmas Day, I hafta tell her that I lost the baby, cuz I can't tell her over the phone!

Sorry if I was ranting...I just don't know how I'm gonna handle the holidays this year...

HUN,..first let me tell you that i'm sorry for your loss ,and then let me tell you that what you have given unto our father is so blessed ,that its beyound any thing you can comprehend...you have give one of the greatest gifts a human could ever give our father.....and remember he gave it to you in the beggining..he gave his son for you,and now you have given him the same......know this...you should beem with joy that you had such a gift to give,altho we morn,and are sad cause this happens...just know she is a perfect angel..and will lighten up your days with sunshine ,and fill your heart with love.....that tiny little body was chosen by our father ,to bring someone here on earth comfort and joy in some way we may never understand....and he knew who you where in your heart and new you was worthy of this gift.....my heart goes out to you..but our father see's the better plan for you,and will surround you with beautifull children,and an the angel you gave to him to watch over those children,and quide you in things to come......lift the sadness hun,and know that he has blessed you for something so wonderfull to come..open your heart,and understand that for every thing there is a season...for all of mankind there is hope...for every child of god there is love....
