Brianna, your sister is a gem. Thanks for sharing her with us! Moriah, I am sorry for your loss and praising God for how He has walked with you through a tragic season and grown your faith (and your family!).

Amber, thank you for you tender, kind words. We never know how God will use our stories for His glory. I have loved watching that within my own family and siblings.

This is beautiful, Moriah. 🥹 The basis of your story and thoughts make me think of Jonathan and Melissa Helser’s “Cultivate” books. If you haven’t read any of them, they focus on connecting to the Father in our emotions, and how they are truly a gift to us, since He’ll meet us there. they’re amazing if you haven’t read them!!

Thank you for reading and sharing the book recommendation! What a gift it is to experience a God that can identify and be with us in our emotions.

I have an ornament angel on my tree for the "unborn grandchildren." There are three of them, and think of them on Christmas as I hang that angel on my tree. I had a set of twelve -- Lost on of the ornaments, have 10 grands and one for the three unborn grands. So wise of you to acknowledge this loss of all that could have been. Thanks for your contribution here.

Part of my story is praying for a baby brother as an 8-year-old. Not a sister...I was very specific...a brother was what I longed for. And God answered.
