This weekend the weather was so nice, it almost made me forget that it was still February.
Saturday I had stepped outside on the deck to enjoy the weather for awhile while the dogs were playing in the yard. A few houses down, I heard the sounds of children playing – they were yelling, screaming, laughing and just having a good time.
It was such a mix of emotions for me. At first, all I felt was pain. Pain that Jayson and I didn’t have any kids playing in our backyard enjoying the beautiful February weekend. Pain that our yard and house were so quiet and there weren’t any kids asking to go to the park. Pain that I had to hear the laughter from a few houses down instead of sitting playing with my kids in my own backyard. The pain is almost too hard to explain.
Then I began to think that just because we didn’t hear it now, doesn’t mean we won’t hear it in our future. I started to get excited for what the future has in store for us. I don’t know when, I don’t know how long we will have to wait and I have no idea how many kids Jayson and I will be blessed with, however I do know that ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, we will have our kids playing in our yard. I can’t wait for that day!
With love,
Haley
