So long....for now.

As promised, I said I would write after today's procedure just to include this important piece of the journey. There's not much to say, other than it was an easy and painless (well I was asleep so of course it was!) process. Things went just as they should and I feel physcially fine now. After we got home from the hospital, I slept for about 3 hours and now I'm enjoying watching the snow come down and seeing the pups play in it like they are little kids.

I have felt God's comforting arms throughout this week and what a wonderful feeling that has been.

I am going to include a poem that a dear friend sent me, one that really comforted me and I believe helped me begin the healing process as I thought about things from this perspective.

The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.

But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.

The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.

Time has taken me from you,
Although not very far.
I'll be watching through the sunshine
And through the brightest star.

I'll be watching all of you,
From the heavens up above.
So take good care of each other
And carry all my love.

If you're ever wondering
If I'm there, here's where you can start.
Take a look inside yourself
Deep within your heart.

I know I'll be back here some day writing about baby Conway #2. Until that day, please feel free to keep in touch on my original blog. I have truly appreciated each and every one of you and look forward to all of your journeys in 2010.
