The One That Got Away . . .

For Hope and Faith,

In writing my last post to you and in your father reading it back to me, I was finally able to shed tears for the one that got away.  Last Friday is when I first knew I would have to fight harder for you. Monday, I learned that the other sibling baby we were expecting (who was growing in another mommy's body) would never make it to our arms.  Now that I've emotionally dealt with all the ups-and-downs from the past week, I am finally able to grieve the loss of that baby for both the first mom and myself.  I believe there are other souls out there who will also be part of our family, so you will have more siblings.  Only God knows when or who, but it will happen.

I love you both and can hardly wait to hold you in my arms.

Love always and forever (143aaf),
Mama
