Pink and Blue Ribbon

I didn't post yesterday. There was something I have been debating on posting in honor of pregnancy loss awareness month (October), I just haven't felt like doing it.




Thank you Keren for your post yesterday for October 15. http://seahawkfanforlife.blogspot.com/2008/10/october-15.html




I didn't feel like writing about what this time of year means to me... it is soooo complicated. I will talk about it in March.




Instead I will just leave everyone with this....








You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times

And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you

But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry

Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways

The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know

But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same

Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbyes

And in Christ, there is no end

So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have

To see you again

To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place

Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

Mandi, I can't imagine what you are going through. The loss of my baby is so different than your loss. Your baby is so beautiful. I'm still praying for you and I will keep praying for all the years to come.
