Beginning


In order to begin this new adventure in our lives (blogging) we will have to travel backwards a few years. Wade and I were blessed to meet each other about eight years ago through mutual friends. Our relationship was there from the beginning. Nothing was complicated or hard about the relationship - no games, no pressure, no worries - just love. God was definitely present in our lives, and we felt extremely comfortable around each other. We married three years later and settled into our first beautiful home. In those first few years of marriage, we experienced many adventures together: attending grad school, accepting new jobs, moving into another wonderful home, and completing licensure in landscape architecture. Everything was moving along perfectly as planned, until last March. That is when our hearts were broken for the very first time, when we realized how precious life is, and when our faith was shaken.


I am not a writer. I just feel that it is time for me to share the story of our precious little boy, our little man who lived inside of me for 30 weeks. He gave us so many gifts and will continue to do so the rest of our lives.

Melissa,

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. As James' tree at Cheekwood grows, we're trusting God's comforting, soothing touch will continue to bind you and Wade through the many seasons ahead. Joy to you, dear friend.

Much love,
Cindy Pfister
