A Very Happy Mother's Day!


A Very Happy Mother's Day!

We are so thankful for Andie. Dan kept saying how at this time last year we wondered if this day would ever come. We are aware of the ache Mother's Day can bring for many, not just those struggling with infertility. Some mothers have lost children through death or estrangement. Husbands are grieving the loss of the mother of their children. Sons and daughters wish their mom was still with them or wish they would have had a mother who didn't abandon them or abuse them. We were blessed by a pastor who did not shy away from the pain and filled all of our hearts with comforting words on this Sunday mixed with mourning and rejoicing.
