Four years of blessings. Four years of unbelievable joy. Four years of sacrifice and love and happiness like you never knew was possible. Four years of a fullness in your heart that you didn’t know could be.
But after four years of incredible and unforgettable blessings, there follows a season of incredible heartbreak and loss.
Is it worth it? Would you accept this deal, were it offered?
If you do, you’ll know a love like no other for those four years – years that will give you memories for a lifetime.
If you do not, you’ll avoid loss and sorrow and broken-heartedness that is impossible to describe.
Without this risk of loss and sorrow, there is no possibility of feeling a joy and love like you had never known. Would you risk it?
It is all about the “What if?”.
What if you and your spouse bring a beautiful baby into this world. A baby that shows you a love that you could not imagine. A baby that you get to love, hold, teach. A little boy that teaches you things, even as you guide him. Or a little girl that you are smitten with, in a way you never knew possible.
Four years of loving and learning and laughing and living...but only four years.
Then comes a season of worry and fret; of unanswered prayers and sleepless nights. And then, unfathomable loss and grief. Then… emptiness… and memories of those four years.
I believe it would be worth it… and I hope I never find out.
