Heartbreak and Hope

Heartbreak and Hope

This is my fourth attempt at writing this blog entry.  I just received some very sad news from my brother Ryan.

Ryan and Kara learned today that one of twins they were expecting has passed on.  Apparently, this is always a possibility at this stage when you're carrying twins, but this fact hasn't lessened the sadness I feel for them.  When I heard the news, my heart sunk.  I can't imagine how Ryan and Kara feel right now.  When Ryan told me on the phone, I wept.

I entitled this entry "Heartbreak and Hope".  There is much hope, for Kara is carrying a healthy boy.  I have no doubts they will make exceptional parents giving their son all the love they can muster.  My intention is to be the best uncle possible and I can't wait to get started.  I strongly believe everything happens for a reason and we must trust that today's events did not transpire in vain.  Out of this sadness will emerge a beautiful baby to love and cherish.  This is going to be one lucky boy.
