I'm always looking for shapes/signs/signals...I honestly think it all started when I first noticed shapes in the clouds, like the one above. I don't know about you, but I see something very specific when I look at that picture.
That picture was taken ten minutes before I started bleeding from my hematoma.
My entire family was standing on the mini golf course, and we all stopped and looked at this amazing image of a man who appeared to be praying (even with a little halo above his head). It was quite a moment--all of us there in silence, looking at this beautifully shaped cloud. And it only lasted for seconds, and then they were just clouds...
I had forgotten all about this picture and that moment. When my family was visiting a few weeks ago, my sister pulled out the picture and we all were able to re-live that moment again, and it made me tear up instantly...a reminder that God is with me in every moment. I falter a lot in remembering to rely on faith during this journey, so this picture is now with me every where I go.
I just wanted to share that with you all as we approach Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. To each of you who have lost, I hope you find comfort in knowing a prayer is being said for you and your lost loved ones.
It's also a day of celebration for me tomorrow. Three years of marriage to my best friend...and I'm so incredibly grateful to be looking back on memories-the good and the bad-with the one who's been with me through the worst and best times of my life. It's also going to be a different trip this year, since we will not be traveling with Coco. Remember my buddy Coco?
So I'm off for a few blissful days of relaxing and reminiscing. Wonder what cloud shapes I'll see?
How could I forget about Coco guest posting for you?? Have a wonderful anniversary weekend!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary tomorrow. That is a beautiful photo. I almost though it looked like a man holding up a small child and talking to him.
ReplyDeleteI, too, thought it looked like a man with a baby. But I also see the praying man. :)

ReplyDeleteFunny...I saw a baby getting ready to suck his thumb in that cloud. I read from your comments that several others saw something different too. Cool how we all see things in a different way, huh?

Happy Anniversary!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary JJ & Mook! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!! I hope it's a great day!
ReplyDeleteI actually saw something a little different - I see what looks to be a dad holding up his baby and they are looking into each others eyes! Now I know that your carrying a Ron - but to me it looks like the baby has a bow so likely indicating a girl. But, what matters is that we take the time to see things in the clouds and we use our imagination... how boring life would be if we didn't take time as they say to stop and smell the roses.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! And a wonderful reminder we are not alone.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great anniversary!
Happy anniversary! I hope you have a lovely trip.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary JJ!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, JJ. May this coming year bring you and Mook blessings beyond your wildest dreams.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you on this day of remembering. . .
ReplyDeleteAww, Coco, what a good soul he was:-)
ReplyDeleteAnd a wonderful picture!
Happy Anniversary and congrats on being in such a wonderful and well deserving place.

ReplyDeleteThat cloud picture is UNBELIEVABLE- I cant even deal. It is an amazing picture and represents so much. OMG it is just beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI also see an adult holding up a child in their arms about to kiss them, It's exactly the pose I do with baby D.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, hope you had a good one :)

I myself see a mother and a child in those clouds. But thats just me
ReplyDeleteOk, about this cloud stuff. That cloud looked like one of those Wil ow Tree ornaments where the Mom is holding up the kiddo. Yep, its You holding lil' Ron! :) What an incredible confirmation, JJ. Happiest of Anniversaries to you and Mook!
ReplyDeleteOh yes...I remember Coco!! I'm so glad s/he (it?) doesn't have to go with you this time.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. I hope your journey together just gets better and better.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Oh, and what a beautiful picture. I, too, look at the shapes in the clouds because, like watching fish in a fish tank, it is an inexplicably relaxing thing to do.
