I need some air

Another birth announcement from an old friend, and once again the wind is knocked out of me.

Out of the blue, in the form of the happiest text message I've ever read, he tells me the news.

I quickly squeeze my eyes shut as the wave of pain comes over me. I hope to hold some of it back. My heart physically hurts.

How I wish I could just feel the happiness for my friend without the pain for myself.

Why is it that some days the hurt hurts more?

I didn't even see this coming today.

I know we are friends of a friend and connected merely as blog friends, but today I pray for you - knowing that we serve the same God and in that is our true connection. May the God of Peace flood over you and speak healing to that hurt. We share a similar experience. I do have some understanding of what it is to long for a baby and the hurt that is caused when others have reason to celebrate. I will be praying for you.
