Sad News

This week we received some very sad news thus my lack of blog entries. Alvaro and I learned a few weeks ago that we were pregnant...a blessing we have been praying for for years. On Friday, we learned that we've miscarried. I believe everyone can understand that we have felt let down, sometimes enraged and confused. However, with the love, prayers and genuine empathy, we are learning to maybe not understand yet but to believe that we will be able to try again and perhaps still have a child. thank you to everyone in our lives who love us and have embraced us with their loving care. Perhaps some time next year we will be able to tell you all that we are carrying a healthy baby. In the meantime, we look to this Thanksgiving weekend to be with family and to give thanks for our friends, our marraige and future we have together. All our lives are a mysteries aren't they? It's a mystery how we endure loss, sadness and what sometimes seems like events that should crush us. God allows us to feel all those things that we humans feel and gives us the freedom to work through things honestly and with faith in whatever form it takes. I wish for all of you to have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday in which you take a moment to give thanks for your lives even in the midst of what hurts. blessing to you all.
