Welcome :-)

I've always wanted to start my own blog but something inside always talked me out of it.

I knew I wanted it to be postive and impacting but I could never decide what I wanted it to be about. Coupled with working full time, I convinced myself that I couldn't do it; that it would be something I might do in the future.

Then yesterday,  I finally decided that I could do it; that I had something so important and so deeply personal to share that it would be worth my effort...

...so here is my very first blog...a piece of me, shared with you...
 
Its been 10 days, today, since we experienced the joy of welcoming our precious little baby girl, Jubilee, into the world. We were told she would be stillborn and so in sadness, at the same time, we also witnessed her passing in Heaven to be cradled by the arms of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, for all eternity. There is something so bittersweet about saying hello and goodbye at the same time.

Since the events leading up to that day, we've been on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. At times, 10 days has felt like years; and yet, a simple flashback to the brief but treasured memories of our little 'Juby' can bring the gut-wrenching rawness back in an instant.

So much has happened in such a little time; some days are good days and others aren't so good. Most days, I am at peace about it but others days, I can't help but feel almost swallowed by the reality that is before us. How does one begin to rebuild their life when the anticipation and excitement of giving life to another- their own child- has been taken away?

Over the next 14 weeks, I want to share my journey with you. Maybe you're a family member or a friend of ours or maybe you're a complete stranger. Maybe you have already experienced or are currently experiencing the trails involved in the loss of a most precious child. Whoever you are, I pray that my feeble scribblings and expressions might somehow be used for good  and bring you peace and comfort wherever you are in life.
