For Diana

Posted on May 4, 2012 Written by Tonya

I stood in the shower this morning and cried.

I don’t know Diana.

I don’t have to.

What I do know is, she is the mother of two year old, Bella, she was pregnant with twins and today is suffering a pain so great and deep that it will follow her the rest of the days of her life.

If you don’t know Diana’s story, she lost her twin boys this week at 19 weeks and 4 days. You can read all about her incredible journey to this day here.

Life is so very precious.

Here I am trying to conceive another child, but even if I’m lucky enough to get the chance, I am cruelly reminded that anything can go wrong at any time and that life can be terribly unfair.

I am reminded that creating life is a fragile endeavor and should never be taken lightly or for granted.

These are the lessons we can all learn from Diana.

I stood in the shower this morning and cried.

I cried for what is, what isn’t and for the monumental task Diana faces to try to heal her broken heart and find some peace again.

I thank God that she has her precious Bella.

I’ll be hugging Lucas a little longer and a lot tighter today.

This post is dedicated to Julian Toby and Preston William.
