I was really looking forward to taking the girls to a tea room near us--The Avalon Tearoom in White Bear, MN. I've been there a lot and really like it and the lady who owns it.
January is kind of a hard month for me for a couple reasons: Winter gets long, spring seems far away, days are short, fun family Christmas time is past, and one more reason.
On January 17th, 2009 we would've celebrated the birth of our baby that we lost at 17 weeks. Some how going to the tea room with my girls has been a rememberance of our precious little unborn baby. I plan to continue this tradition for years to come. Our child would have been 2 years old this month...so hard to believe this.
However, Abigail would never have been born. So we are thankful for her life and that is why she came to be named Abigail Hope...."a father's joy" and then hope after what we'd lost. Praise the Lord for blessing us so much.
Beautiful thoughts, Shereen re your little lost baby. I hope you are passing this email on to Sarah and Daniel? We love you lots and think you are a wonderful little mother! Lindy
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful and meaningful tradition. Are you seeing the light at the end of the tunnel (ie the SUN of SPRING!) yet? January is hard on me too, and so far this February has been a bugger too. Now that we know this about each other, we'll have to plan a whole-day play date with our kiddos in the middle of January next year. :)
