I don't normally check my profile in the mirror (it hasn't been awesome since carrying triplets) but for some reason a week ago I did. There it was. It wasn't the end of the day pudge, it was a baby bump. Plain as day. Brought a smile to my face.
Two days ago, early Friday morning, I lost my bump. My tiny baby boy was called back home and we are truly heartbroken. The news that he was coming was a welcome surprise for our family. The time of his passing has been painful.
"During our schooling in submissiveness we will see the visible crosses some carry, but other crosses will go unseen... Indeed if our souls had rings, as do trees, to measure the years of greatest personal growth, the wide rings would likely reflect the years of greatest moisture - but from tears, not rainfall."
Elder Neil A. Maxwell
