Thankful

Life is never easy is an understatement. It seems like this past year has brought with it some really difficult and tragic moments for many of us. We've lost grandparents. Watched friends loss their sweet boy. Met other families who have had to say good-bye too soon to their precious babies. I tend to think that life has been full of endings this year. Some days it's hard to not let life get you down. It's in those times that I remind myself of all that I have and not just what I feel has been taken from me.
Thankful for:

• A god who loves me.
• A marriage to a man who adores me and my imperfections.
• The few short hours that I was able to meet and hold my dear sweet Reagan.
• Two tiny babies who have overcame the slimmest odds.
• Amazing parents who would sacrifice anything for me
• A loving sister who is always there
  
• Emma and Abigail's sweet smile and slobbery kisses
• Family who loves me without end
• Friends who are there in good times and bad
• Comments on the blog that helped to inspire and keep us going
• An ever faithful church family

I hope that all of you, who are still reading, have a list of things that help you get through those difficult times. Sometimes those are the things that get us through when we aren't sure how to survive the pain we feel.
