Misfortunes of life
I make plans without
taking in to account the factors that life can throw at you. I seem too have this
idea that there will be no hiccups while I'm given a pain free life and
everything that I aspire to have.
Reality is shit
doesn't work that way.
Exciting moments
happen in my life. It's not all pain and displeasure. I'm sure, there will come
a time where I share with you things to make both you and I smile. But as of
right now, I write to give me strength to carry on.
"I'm
pregnant!" (Aha Life!) The greatest expression I have ever heard. For any
man or woman who longs to have, hold, and possess a child, these are the words
we live for.
Finally! The dream
was coming true, I was going to have my family and at what better timing.
During this period of
life, it felt as if everything was going right. I had direction. I was happily
engaged to a women whom I loved, I had a nice home, worked at Chevy (was making
great money), over-all I didn't stress over much. I wanted for nothing but
continued prosperity, and that indeed was coming to fruition.
I immediately was
engaged in baby names, scheduling times to go to doctor visits, reading and
speaking about life with what was to come. I was engaged to the point that I
went out of my way to remember the first BPM, which was 98 (she argues 96). I
had never been more vested in something than I was at the time. After all this
was, "the dream." I’d finally be able to correct what my father had
wronged in my life, what was taken from me, I would be able to give unconditionally.

plans? Well so do I."-Unexpected Happenings of Life

"So Now
I'm child-like waiting for a gift to return//When I lost you, I lost it."
I remember the day
well. I was beyond nervous wanting good news from the doctor. You see it was
only our third time going in (it was still very early in the pregnancy) in our
second meeting the heart rate didn't increase. We were made well aware of what this
meant and what this could possibly bring about…a loss of life.
I don't think I'd
ever prayed so hard in my life for things to go well (exception when I was a
crane rigger. They asked if I was scared of heights I didn't realize how high
they were talking. Let's just say Jesus and I were super tight). I asked God, I
begged God. I pleaded with God for us not to feel this pain and to allow me not
to be robbed of this one moment.
I remember
sitting in the room, cold, feeling nauseous, anxiously tapping my foot wait for
the doctor to come and let us know things had gotten better and we were on
track. Little did I know the latter would happen and my child-like excitement
would come to an abrupt end.
"There's no
heartbeat, I'm Sorry." Fuck this resonates in my mind. It’s a
constant echo traveling in a hollow endless valley when I think upon it.
Who in their right
minds is prepared for something like that? Are you fucking kidding me? To just
have your gut wrenched knowing the one thing you've ever wanted, the one thing
you expect to have no hiccups in, that the one thing you needed in life would
ultimately bring you to your knees. Despair ultimately devours... I fall to the
bottom of the world when everything was in order and I loathe not being able to
bare the pain.

worries**
These worries are
heavy,
They rest on my
shoulders,
My body wont let me
fall victim no more...
Fuck. Revisiting
feelings of past times in order to let go of them one entry at a time is
painful, yet necessary.
These are moment I
can no longer carry around. They have built me and there's no need for myself
to remain attached to them.
To often, we rush to
move on without expressing ourselves, which I feel does more damage to
us.
It's fine to process
emotion and moments, I'm learning that now.
Don't be
afraid.
Oh and excuse me for
sort of jumping around. After all this is a Blog and not a book

I hope I was of some
help today.
Till the next time.
Peace, peace, peace
Im forming my own thoughts from similar experiences. "The hurt is worsened when I wonder if my father even hurt, knowing I wasnt with him. I do anything to hold my baby."
ReplyDeleteI couldn't imagine a pain like this. I'm glad to see that you didn't allow this to break you in the long run. Goals,dedication, and inspiration seem to be the things that you have honed in on in the last few years and that's something to be proud of. Glad to see that you allowed this to push you towards being a better person.
