It is written beautifully. Yet, letting go of your dreams is in no way easy and I feel your hurt. Of course I wonder why you should not have more children but maybe all I need to do is do some back up reading...

This is a beautiful post! Although I have never wanted for a second or third child, I can still relate to the desire for more. And finding a way to be at peace with what I have.

This post is full of lush longing and ends with hues of acceptance. Beautiful stuff. Life is but alternating sunsets and sunrises of dreams, realized and unrealized. We humans are wired to want, to reach beyond the periphery of our own bliss, to want more of the good things, the exquisite things, that we we have in our lives. It takes courage - and bravery - to admit that you might be okay with what you have, that somehow, someway, it might be enough.

(I too am a big fan of Heather's!)

Lovely post! Makes me think that maybe there is beauty in unrealized dreams. I think I'm just focusing on the wrong thing.

I'm just trying to get around as many people as I can to leave a comment. We have been having a lot of power-cuts lately, and I'm trying not to leave anyone out, so I'm just trying to explain what is happening here at the moment, and to let you all know that I have not forgotten about you all!
Hopefully this shouldn't last much longer!

Running is a good time and place to do your thinking. I said "think" not "give up." Hang in there.

What a beautiful post. That decision is hard for everyone no matter how many children they have. I pray God will give you peace about it.
You are a talented writer!

I pretty much know I am done with having kids, but there is always that lingering "what if..." Such a hard decision. Another wonderful post.

I found myself beginning to make peace with the fact that I would be just fine with my two beautiful boys and then - I got pregnant. I'm just sayin'. ;-)

Oh what loveliness. You've found the sweet half of the bittersweet and I'm so glad for you.

That decision is one of the hardest ones to make.
Being outside, alone, is one of the best ways to make decisions and to have thoughts come clear. Reason alone to go running in the morning! :)

2009-11-23T13:49:38.226-08:00

It is a hard decision but I believe that in the end the things that are most precious are our families and knowledge - we take nothing else with us so why not try to get as much of those 2 things as possible!
Good luck with your decision and beautiful writing.

2009-11-23T11:54:17.522-08:00

Loved this. I have definitely been having similar thoughts lately. More along the lines of realizing I would be fine if I didn't have another child, yet still wanting one. Somewhere in between actually letting go.

Great thoughtful words, awesome analogy! :)

Oh lady! Thank you.

I DO love this analogy! Maybe we can experience it together. Figuratively and literally.

Ryan and I just talked about me getting up early to go for walk/runs...we should do it together! I'd love that.

I'm seeing this dream too and wondering if it's one I need to let go of. It's hard. I'm glad you're embracing your current sunrise.

I am often preoccupied with my desire for a third child, too. So I found myself really relating to this post!

2009-11-23T10:13:58.207-08:00

It's such a hard thing to decide. I come from a large family, and now that my two kids are in school, I'm happy, but still think of having another baby. For several reasons, just one is the fact that I feel bad that my daughter will never have a sister.
