| The candle flickers and is out. |
"God grand me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change,
The COURAGE to change the things I can,
And the WISDOM to know the difference."
Give me the STRENGTH to endure,
for this, too, shall pass.
Just as we are announcing our joy to the world,
The candle flickers and is out.
On August 6th, we were told we were going to have a child. 
After nearly 4 years of marriage, we were growing our family.
We told our families on September 17 (our 4th Anniversary).
They overflowed with joy.
On the 24th (one week later), our joy was replaced with sorrow, doubt, fear, anger, and confusion. 
Our Little One was not growing. Our Little One had not grown since around the 5th or 6th week.
Before we had even shared our joy, the light had gone out.
For 7 weeks, we celebrated milestones. Fingers and toes forming. A heartbeat. "Mommy's done all I can, Baby! Now it's up to you to grow!" Meanwhile, Our Little One had already stopped growing... Maybe even before we knew (s)he was with us.
Give me the STRENGTH to endure,
for this, too, shall pass.
Last night, I had to take a prescription that would cause the miscarriage of Our Little One.
It was the hardest thing I've had to do. It was admitting we'd lost Our Little One.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. We will get through this, together.
