Mary's Surprise


Part 1 of 4

Sometimes couples go through difficult times, we are not an exception and we had one more or less 15 years ago. It was so difficult, that for a time we were not together, I was here and she was there. That, of course, is not the way a marriage should be; when you join your lives, it is to share everything with love and overcome difficulties together.

Love is so beautiful, that it allows you to view the other as a special being, no matter how many defects he or she may have. But, sometimes we get disconnected from love and the ability to disregard defects disappears and leads us into conflicts. That was what happened to us and the conflict almost destroyed the marriage.

Fortunately, the Mater took this situation into her hands taking care of us and making a small light shine in our souls, so that we were able to see love again behind the difficulties. We started to talk again, put God into the problems and were together once more.

And one day to celebrate reconciliation, we took a short trip. The result of this travel was a gift from the Lord:
"I am pregnant" was the phrase that she said in the midst of smiles and joy.

We were happy to receive another member into our family, and as happy as a new couple, we went to see the doctor for the first routine checkup. It was then that we felt the first blow:

"The baby is not alive Madam, there is no heartbeat. The best thing you can do is to undergo a procedure".

Only someone that has gone through a similar situation, can understand the effect of those words, especially if they come from one of the most renowned doctors.
