Bryan here. It's been about 5 months since our last posting. The cloud of the whole ordeal continues to slowly lift. We so much miss our David and are anxious to see him again someday. As time passes, the acuteness of the pain lessens. We are saddened that for now all we have of him are just memories from Heather's previous pregnancy. For those of you going through something similar, know that the sun will rise again some day. It may not seem like it will, but it will.

We look out the window at the valley where we live and are encouraged to see that it, like the figurative valley that we just crossed in our journey with David, is surrounded by mountains. Life is a lot like this. Some mountains are pretty high, and some valleys are pretty low. We are grateful to be heading up hill as we climb the next mountain...which evidently involves a new baby coming to our family in the near future.
