The two we have bring so much joy, yet the due dates can't pass without the bite of disappointed dreams. Each time someone comments that we have our girl and our boy and are we done. I am struck again that while we look like the all-american family, I will always look at life with arms longing for those I haven't met. Yes, it is bittersweet that makes life beautiful.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407020444991828835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621801960980381156.post-17269824700964205272010-12-22T11:57:21.625-06:002010-12-22T11:57:21.625-06:00So much of life is bittersweet.

They are so good with our daughter and it was good for them to understand more about why she acts the way she does.

I expect this to continue as he transitions out.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002333764812272446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-621801960980381156.post-35212647131165549202010-12-22T09:45:58.637-06:002010-12-22T09:45:58.637-06:00Oh!

I just added this to my Goodreads To-Read shelf! :) <br /><br />I've been using the term bittersweet so much lately (in fact, it's the title of a blog post I am working on!) as I transition jobs. I am so happy to be moving on in my professional development, but at the same time it is difficult and a little sad to be saying goodbye to the clients I've worked with over the past few years, as well as my wonderful family of coworkers. But that is what life is about, right? We must let go of parts of ourselves in order to let the new, improved us's out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
