Tears
This is a difficult season of my life. On New Year's Eve my oldest son's wife delivered their second child. Norah Lynn was beautiful, perfect, and stillborn. Nearly 9 months of hopes and dreams were reduced to a few hours of holding Norah while a very special photographer took some amazing pictures. Norah Lynn looked a lot like her older sister Claire (18 months old.) My dad found it especially hard to miss the funeral as he was in a nursing home rehabbing from pneumonia. He felt so bad for the kids. Three short weeks later Dad joined Norah in heaven. 2012 has been a year full of tears.

ReplyDeleteYour slice makes my heart heavy. I'm sorry for your loss. It's never easy to face these things, but I can't imagine the added difficulty of facing them on the cusp of a "fresh start" the new year is supposed to offer. I hope you find peace through writing and peace through your family and friends.
Thanks for writing today,
Ruth
Oops! I meant Cyndy. Forgive me?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Slice of Life, I hope you find encouragement and peace through your writing. Your slice today reminds me of how fragile life is.
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaking. For me it was the end of 2010, in which I lost my two remaining grandparents and totalled my car, all in about 3 months. Hope the rest of 2012 brings you happiness and comfort. And welcome to Slices of Life! You will find an amazing community here.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you. I can't even imagine how difficult a time this must be for you and your family. But, you have come to the right place--the slice of life community is a place of comfort for many of us. I hope you find peace in your writing and new friends for your heart.

I just joined too...I'm sorry that Norah Lynn and Grandpa. I know that writing will bring some solace and the comfort you must feel that they are in heaven together.
ReplyDeleteI love the name of your blog. My heart aches for you and son and daughter in law. I hope you continue with the blogging world and the SOL community they have been there for me many times. Writing will pull you through and help you heal.
