That longing still aches!

On this day 18th of August 2014 we had to say our finally farewell to the 2 little angels. We have looked so forward to meeting them after waiting years for God to touch my womb. But our plans are not his, they are definitely not plans to harm so we just have to let God be God. I found myself shedding tears just thinking on how things went horribly wrong that day, and how Dean my loving husband must be feeling when the call was made for him to choose. We knew that the possibility was there but once you kind of hit the 3 month mark you think you home safe. Then you go for another month and another and think we got this in the bag...just short of 3 months still to go. But once again we do not hold our future he does, we never know what could happen in seconds, minutes, days, weeks and even months. So love with all your heart and never walk around thinking we will have tomorrow, that my friends is not guaranteed. Life is a very valuable asset and we should never take it or even our loved ones for granted. We might never have an opportunity to say sorry, we love you, you are forgiven or just a simple "well done". So as we go about our daily lives let's take time out to start sowing love and in return we will reap it, living life to the fullest and never taking it for granted. Happy still birthday Zachary and Zoe Cupido.

What a year!

So our princess turned one 2 weeks ago on the 5th of August 2016 and boy oh boy this has been an interesting, eventful and very educating year of parenthood. We had the joys of her first crawl, first steps, giggles and so much more but also had the not so joyous moments of teething and infections. Parenthood is one of those on the job trainings you go through one day at a time. There is no manual and no tertiary educations on becoming parents. You kind of take things as it comes and learn to use the tools that work for you as a family. We look at Zarah and think on how cute she is becoming as her own personality becomes more and more evident. And then we also look at her think how innocent and dependent they are on us for there basic survival. We thank God everyday for blessing us with Zarah that brings so much joy and laughter in our life. God has brought healing through Zarah but we will always remember that we had our fair amount of pain too. Zachary and Zoe Cupido is no doubt a great part of our family and we remind Zarah all the time that she has an older brother and sister in heaven of which she gives a broad smile of acknowledgement. We as a couple believe that God is still busy with our testimony our journey has not ended yet...the scripture that is instilled in our spirit will always be "To whom much is given much is required". And we have allowed God to take us through "Our Journey and Our Testimony" as he see fit.
