Through loss…I found my blessings

Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life. ~Anne Roiphe

In an instant, what was supposed to be the happiest moment in my life turned into every parent’s worst nightmare.  When the doctor’s told me my newborn didn’t make it, the pain was so overwhelming and I remember telling myself that I would never ever do this again; no more kids for me.  Fast forward twenty-seven years and I am the proud parent of two wonderful children and grandmother to three awesome boys.  I will never forget that day as it will forever haunt me but with support from family and friends, I made it through it.  As I look at these five miracles in my life, I know that even through great loss, there is always a blessing.
