In my profile, I mentioned being a mother to two: Zak and Zoe. Zak was our firstborn. I gave birth to him April 22, 2009. Exactly four months before that, he was diagnosed with anencephaly in-utero. We were devastated as the anomaly isn't compatible with life. Nonetheless, I carried him full term. Felt him. Talked to him. Sang to him. Stayed healthy for him.
We had him for six full days. The Lord, in His abounding grace, let us experience our son so we may learn some valuable lessons. It took us a while before finally being able to embrace the joy of such loss. But it came. Along with the peace and the comfort in knowing that he is better placed now.
The Lord gives.
The Lord takes away.
Blessed be His name.
