Pain, Suffering, Confusion and all the other emotions

Weird title huh? Well I have had the week of my life that I never saw coming. I volunteered my time down at the Campgrounds for Sr. High camp this week as night security from 3am to 7am, and then whatever else they needed. Needless to say that completely wore me out and made me feel 30 years older overnight.

Another event going on was even more tiring. This week we went to the doctor to hear the heartbeat of our child growing in Steph. We were both extremely excited about this and exhausted because of the anticipation. While there they were unable to find the heartbeat, which was not uncommon for only being 10 weeks almost 11. That being the case the doc wanted to perform an ultrasound on Steph (both external and internal). Sadly he wasn't able to find any sign of our child. Today it was made official that Stephanie's body is in the process of a miscarriage. We would really covet your prayers at this time for what we are going through. The worse part about this is not being able to know what caused it and how to avoid this in the future. It is very interesting how important closure appears to feel.

At the same time we are comforted by the fact that our little child (he/she) is in Heaven with no pain, no bruises, hurts, sorrow. This is something I was so looking forward to in my life, to be a father and raise a child. I am so sad
