Tirade
I have some really cool things to say about some really cool people. I really wanted to post that today.
But the truth is that my little funk is not letting up and now I am just annoyed.
And angry.
I feel like I have started this grief thing all over again and it ticks me off. I don’t want to repeat all the mire I have already slogged through.
And I am soooo mad at God right now. Everything seems incredibly unfair. Really God? Those people get to keep their baby? Really?
And I KNOW that this life is not about fair. That God didn’t promise us fair, and thank goodness for that because I know what I deserve due to my sin. I know my salvation is, in fact, incredibly UNfair.
But really? THOSE people get a healthy baby? REALLY?
I had to see my baby like this.
I had to hold him with tubes and wires and scary monitors and a stinking machine keeping him alive.
The only time I really got to hold my baby is when he was dying.
I would so like to be the bigger person today and be sharing the grace and hope I know I have in Christ but today is one of those days where I am selfish, and ungrateful and just plain angry. I hate being like this. I know this isn’t who God called me to be, but days like today it feels like who he called me to be is stinking miserable too, so what the heck?
I am just sick and tired to death of having a dead baby and I can’t begin to process the fact that this is the rest of my life. Every stinking day. Forever.
This quagmire is more awful because on the bad days I really can’t remember what the good days feel like. Its true on the good days too, though, I really won’t remember why I couldn’t see the hope and joy today.
But I can’t.
I am so so sorry. This is absolutely not fair.
Steph

If you were the most bitter, angry person in the world, I'd understand. The fact that you still manage to send such positivity and light astounds me. You are strong and beautiful and loved.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I just read your email to my wife, Arianne, and I'm really just speechless. I don't know why but as I was reading your post, something popped into my head that Steph sent us a while back. You may have already heard it, but since I have no other words to say... maybe you can listen to it one more time:
Listen to what Logan had to say…
