What if trials in this life are your mercies in disguise...
A friend shared this song on FB today and I really like it. We may never know the mercies God shows towards us every day! And sometimes the hardest things in life are for a reason. When we lost Evin we picked his name before we left the hospital. We did not know the meaning of his name or that he had Down's Syndrome till days later. When I learned that his name meaning is "God is merciful" it really made me think of how much God is in control of everything.

Half a year...A letter to my baby boy.
My little Evin,
Today it has been six months since you came into this world... so very little and 4 months to soon. This is also the month your mommy and daddy got married one year ago! Seems hard to believe! So much has changed in the past year. In July, just 2 months after our wedding we learned that we were expecting you. I was sooo happy and looked forward to an exciting year. Time seemed to fly by as we watched you grow and got ready for your arrival. We got a crib and other essential things for you and got your room ready. But there was one thing that I was waiting for...you. I could not wait to put the last touches on your room, so I was very excited when the day came that we would find out if you were a boy or a girl! Little did we know that you would be here so soon!
Six months ago today on November 2nd 2010, We said hello and goodbye at the same moment. Your little self came into this world weighing 11.7oz and just 7in long. But to me you were perfect! At that moment you made one of my biggest dreams come true... you made me a Mother, your mother! Even though it did not happen in the way I had ever imagined, I felt a love I never know excited. I miss you so much every min of every day... and yet I am so proud to be your mom! With you not here I feel something missing in my life. My arms may feel empty but my heart feels so much more full!
Last week we saw a great tragedy and devastation right here close to home. A lot of people lost loved ones and their homes. This made me think of how lucky you are to never have to know the pain and sadness of this world! Your life will start in heaven! How amazing that must be! You have been spared from this world. And even though I miss you so much and wish that you could be here, you are in the hands of God, resting till he comes. Mommy and Daddy miss and love you so much! Thank you for the little time you gave us to get to know and love you. I can't wait to hold you in heaven!
I'll always love you,
Mommy
