The rules are pretty simple. One word. Five minutes of writing. No editing.
Five years ago life was a battle. Things were changing left and right. I'm leaving this vague, I know. I leave it vague because I don't want to wade through the darkness today. It's there just in the words 'life was a battle.
The light in all that storm was that I was pregnant. It was a challenge to be going through what I was while pregnant. Looking back now I know it was God's grace. He knew that I wouldn't be able to do what I was going through all by myself. I had to keep going for my children and my unborn child. Had to.
Then after all that waiting. It finally happened, exactly five years ago I was given a blessing through the storm. Our son Rian was born. The pain of everything that was happening in life and then I was given this gift.
I remember the tears. the tears that I had held back from everything. The tears I wouldn't let myself shed. They came. Happy, sad, refreshing, love... all these feelings at one time all wrapped up in one bundle of beauty.
This gift.
A new beginning.
I'm so thankful for the storm that I weathered to get to this beautiful moment.
Love the pics and the beauty you were able to receive even in a difficult time! Hi from a fellow FMF writer. :)

So beautiful. I love how you wrote about this time. And I can so relate- wading through the murky waters to get to the other side, and in the midst- a gift- your precious baby. And what a precious little bundle! So glad I found you on fmf!
