Fifteen months old

I got a Huggies coupon pamphlet today.

It said, "Your child is 15 months old this month."

At first I was confused. Because Ethan is five years old. And Kara is 8 months old. Then it hit me. Right in the gut.

Henry would have been 15 months old this month if he had been born in June, on his due date.

Grief can strike at any moment.

But just as quickly, blessings can strike.

And I have a whole multitude of those. Including the screaming child at my feet. Life is hard. God is good.
