Bittersweet

Yesterday was Stiaan's Christening, Stiaan is Riaan (Stefan's brother) and Sonicke's firstborn.
He is a precious four month old with the most amazing blue eyes.

I was so happy to be at the Christening and sharing this beautiful boy with everyone there and celebrating that his parents prayers had been answered finally. At the same time I was so sad because I would so love a little one of our own.

Nobody told me how difficult it would be, and that I would become so emotional. I'm sitting in the church pew crying, not only because the blessing the minister is giving Stiaan is so beautiful but also because I find myself wishing it was me.

After the service we were asked to be Stiaan's godparents, how bittersweet.

Children are a blessing from God and we have been blessed to play a role in little Stiaan's life.
