Capturing Grief

I'm taking part in the 31 Day Project to Capture My Grief.  It's a photo project.  October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.  Each day (or as many days as I feel inspired), I will be posting a photo and what that day's word means to me.  Today's word is Sunrise.

It's a little blurry, but there it is.  Today's sunrise signifies a new beginning for me.  I am ready to become a mother to another child, and I am filled with hope and excitement on this day.  I'm also filled with anxiety and fear.  But today I'm going to let hope and excitement win out.

As I was driving to work this morning, a tree was dropping leaves right in the sunlight.  It was beautiful.  I actually stopped the car and scrambled for my phone to get a picture...until the leaves stopped falling and I saw the car behind me.  But trust me, it was beautiful.  And it made me even more hopeful than I was when I took the photo at sunrise.
