Reminders of Heartache

Even while in the forward charge on the path of international adoption, I have not forgotten that I should have been pregnant this whole time.  Some time around now I should have been welcoming my third child into the world.  Today would have been my due date, an especially meaningful date because it would have also been my mom and dad's 44th wedding anniversary.  Today is a reminder that it's possible to be so in awe of the exciting and unexpected path life has taken us while being simultaneously sad for what should have been and what will never be.
