Jett & Graham

Jett and Graham our hearts are full of love for you

But we feel heartache and sadness too

You brought so much excitement to all your family

Especially your dad and mom, Chris and Shayli

We all have questioned and wondered why

But as we think and pray all we do is cry

You went to Heaven, so very far away

Even though we wanted you both to stay

We miss you most of all late at night

When life is quiet and doesn't seem right

Your dad and mom prayed for you from the start

So remain close to them for they each have a broken heart

We know that rainbows come from rain

And to cherish joy we go through pain

So we will turn to light and faith in the Son

Until we meet again when our mortal journey's done

The last few months have felt so heavy. We lost our boys to TTTS and they were born sleeping on May 17th, 2017. We miss them and the happiness they brought to us more than I think we will ever be able to describe. 

It's a little scary putting all this out on my little corner of the web, because if you've followed me for a while, you know I try not to get too serious or too personal on here. But I'm hoping that my vulnerability can help someone who has or is going through something similar, or experiencing infertility. I'm hoping that as me and Chris continue on this journey of trying to find rainbows after rain (puddles and puddles of it!), that my words or example can bring comfort to anyone who happens to stumble upon A Tidbit of Love. Even if it's just one person... I'll be happy with that.

Chris and I are already off to a good start on our journey thanks to a stupidly supportive family + friends + neighbors + strangers who have gone out of their way to bring comfort to us. I will forever be grateful. You have all inspired me to be better and want to serve more. 

So here's to vulnerability! and blogging again! And most importantly, here's to Jett & Graham-our perfect angels helping us to find and recognize all the rainbows in our life. There will always be more than just a tidbit of love in our hearts for you.
