Why?

Today all that is in my mind is the ever present question,

Why?

Why Ethan & Nathan?

Why?

Why did I become pregnant with twins but they never separated?

Why?

Why do I have to live with this aching feeling and have nothing to hold on to?

Why?

I miss them so much and my heart is just so down. 

My littles are praying to God for another baby. 

Why? Why? Why?

My voice is echoing in the night reverberating with a dull and sometimes muffled, why?

I know I may never come to find an answer to my lament, but I lay with tears falling gently on my bed and still utter, why?

It seems so silent here in my grief, but I know you’re there God and I love you still. 

I know you hear me and understand the frustration that is enveloped in the question,

Why?

The transition crashes into me, bringing waves of uncertainty. Questions awaken in me. Frustrations soar out of my...

Image of God

When Ethan and Nathan were born and I saw their little faces, I lit up with joy. Joy because they were alive. Joy because their warmth brought me comfort. Joy to be beside my husband, holding them nestled between our arms. Utter joy. What many do not know is that aside from my boys being conjoined, my Nathan also had a cleft lip. I have heard many people speak displeasingly of this deformity of the lip, but when I looked at Nathan, I felt joy and I saw beauty. I would even go as far as to say that the cleft gave him a little character. There was obviously no need for surgery because of his demise, but in my eyes he was perfect. He was made in the image of God. His Creator knit him perfectly for me. I know it sounds paradoxical because they were conjoined (an obvious developmental abnormality) and Nathan had a cleft (a facial abnormality), but all the same they were God's children and made in His image.  I remember every little thing about the beauty of each of them. Nathan's c...
