Today seems like the right day to bring an end to my blog.
It has been a long, painful, and wonderful journey. One that I will always look back on with mixed emotions.
It took up my life for four years, most of it bad. But, my miracle at the end of the road was worth all the heartache that came before.
We will never forget the day, one year ago, that we got the best phone call of our lives.
And on Thanksgiving no less.
Our hands shook as we answered the phone and we thought for sure we were in for bad news. But instead, we got our Thanksgiving miracle!
On this Thanksgiving day, and every Thanksgiving Day that follows, we will thank god for our miracle of life. Looking down at our perfect sleeping baby face, reminds us of all we have done to get here. Of all the sadness and all the pain, and with one smile from our angel baby it is all erased. The joy and love seeps into the very fabric of our beings -- straight to our hearts. Yes, we are thankful. We are forever blessed. We are so lucky to be able to feel this kind of gradittue and thanks. We are thankful for the gift of hope, and the gift of all our Thanksgivings yet to come. We are thankful for CCRM, and everything we did to get here.
Today we take stock, of how all this unexpected and painful journey has shaped our lives. Of how it has blessed us and enriched us with suffering as much as with joy. And that is what Thanksgiving is really all about. Remembering the past, celebrating the present, and looking toward the future -- all with gratitde in our hearts.
Today is filled with such significant meaning for us, as it remins us that mircales do happen, to never give up hope, and to always give thanks for the gift that we have been given. We don't even have words that will ever fully express the gratitude we feel, as we reflect and rejoice in our miracle. So instead, we just say thanks.
"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice." -Meister Eckhart
And yes, he was worth every single penny!
Good luck to all of you out there still waiting for your miracles.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless.
Love Lisa
