Saying Goodbye Can Be SO Hard To Do!

One of our closest family of friends has moved away to Washington DC. This has been quite hard for my family, especially me, because we have been through a lot of challenging times with them. William and their youngest son went through their dysphaegia with aspiration together, along with breathing scares, being housebound for months, and constant illnesses. Without their love and support, I do not think I would have ever made it through those years. Then, when we decided to have another baby, they were trying also. It seemed like a bad omen but several of us lost multiple pregnancies around the same times. Many times I just wanted to give up and say, "Never mind! Our feelings that we were suppose to have another one were obviously WRONG!" Now I look at the grand picture, I realize that we have a Father in Heaven who loves us so much that he places special people in our lives to help us make it through our challenges. Now that we are both holding such beautiful babies in our arms, because we had such great friends to encourage us never to give up, and now that are sons are doing so well, it is time for their family to move on to other areas of need. Heavenly Father has bigger plans in store for them. We would never exchange all those memories and experiences with them. We have grown so much and learned so much from them all! I am just grateful that part of their life's journey included our neck of the woods. This family is incredible! We will miss them dearly, but never forget them!
