As many know, Sharon and I are actively trying to conceive. We are pretty eager as we are not getting any younger. We actually thought possibly we did conceive this past week, but mother nature did not bless us :( It is so hard. I cannot help to feel like we deserve to have another child, that we were cheated. Those are the demons that come with losing a child I assume. And ones that must be fought so as not to become bitter and depressed. I believe we win most of those battles, but sometimes they do creep in. But thankfully we have each other to lift the other out of the hole. We miss our Noah so much, and now with the holidays it is that much more intense.
But the bright side I guess, is that we have hope it will happen. There is no physical limitations for us getting pregnant yet. And we do get to keep trying :) I have hope it happens soon. And that keeps our chins up.
I want to take a moment and send out thoughts and prayers to the friends and family of Keri Shryock. At approximately 7:30 p.m. last night, Keri Shryock, 23, a member of Trish’s Crossroads Community Church, Xavier University student and cast member from the church’s Christmas show, fell from a suspended position during the performance. She was attended to by emergency medical personnel as quickly as possible, and was then transferred to University Hospital for medical care. However Keri did not make it. I hope maybe our Noah can find her and show her the way up there. I cannot imagine what it must be like for her family, Christmas will never be the same for them.
