The Redheaded Leow Story

I never thought I would ever work up the courage to start a blog and share a window into my life, but here I am. I am 25 years old, well 26 in a matter of days, and I am happily married to the love of my life. We just celebrated our two year wedding anniversary on the 1st of October actually. My sweet husband is a deputy in our county, hence the title of my blog, and I am an optometric assistant by day. We have two dogs, Kona, who is a Great Pyrenees/Pitbull mix, and Tyson is our newly adopted rescue pup who is a Hound/Dane mix. They keep us on our toes and fill the silence on the many nights my husband is away on shifts, training, extra duty, and everything in between. Last October we went through one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. We found out we were miscarrying our first and only pregnancy. I was crushed and went through a devastation and heartache like no other. Fast forward to April of this year, we found out were expecting our rainbow baby. I prayed daily that God would let my miracle baby be safe and allow us to make it to the 12 week mark. Unfortunately that was not in God's plans and He called our second sweet angel home.

There are no words to explain how losing a child feels. It is a different kind of grief. It is ugly. It is painful. It tears your soul into a thousand many pieces while the wind blows them around in a hundred million different directions. But it is our story. I have had to pray more than I ever have in my entire life. I pray for peace. I pray for guidance. I pray for understanding. I know that God works in His own time; however, my only hope lies in my faith that God does not bring a storm without His promise of a rainbow.
