Disappointment

Life is full of disappointment big and small. We've just been fed a huge dose of disappointment. We're done, can't take it anymore. I guess Madeline will be an only child. It's hard giving up a dream, but it has to be done. I need to work on being a better mother to the beautiful child I already have.

Shannon...

I wish I could hug you right now. The weight of that statement is so heavy, so very heavy.

Now I'm getting all teared up... so frustrating to know that you would work so hard and hear that news. It's not fair that it's easy for some and hard for others.

I don't know what your future holds. Because if I did, I would comfort you with all the blessing on your family that you seek.

Big hugs and misty eyes from us.

Your friend,
Emily

Oh Shannon, I am so sorry! I have been praying and praying. I hope that someday we'll be able to see God's wisdom in all of this. Right now I am truly crying for you and sending you a huge hug! Come and see Alyssa any time you want, although I know that may be harder. All our love!

Oh, Shannon. This is so sad. I know you were really hoping this would work again. (we were, too!) Know that you are in our prayers. I don't have the right words to say, but, we love you guys and are really glad you've come back to our church family.
