Do you ever look back on your life and on the timing of things with wonder? I know that God’s timing, like all of His plan, is perfect. And yet it never ceases to amaze me. This morning Charlotte, our beautiful rainbow baby, turned 10 months old. I still don’t know how as I was…

Today is just an ordinary day. So many of my previous posts have reflected on milestones we have reached – anniversaries of the happiest and saddest times of our lives. But today isn’t one of those. And yet it has been a day when, through one of the most routine daily tasks of parenthood, I…

Today is June 10. A date that, for me and Gary, could have changed our lives forever. A date that did change our lives forever. June 10 will always stick in our minds as the date in 2018 when our precious Lentil would have been due to be born. Things didn’t follow our plan but…

On this occasion last year I was marking the day thinking of my two precious children – the one in God’s arms and the one snuggled cosily in my womb. This year that second child is making her presence known throwing pieces of banana and…

This weekend was a special one for us. It was the weekend when we got to publicly and formally thank God for the wonderful gift of our baby daughter at her dedication service. After losing our previous Lentil, and while praying for a baby to bring to birth and care for on Earth, I found…
