Spring Blooms; Spring Snows

By Emily Carrington EPLA Executive Director

A few weeks ago we had a BEAUTIFUL warm and sunny spring Saturday. Could it be? An early spring here in Southern Michigan? Could the gray shadows of March and April rain give way to the sun?! The bulbs were starting to produce shoots peeking above the soil, the birds were chirping, everything pointed to spring. 

​A week later, it was 20 degrees and snowed for three days. Of course. I knew better. I am a true midwesterner, and a March spring day is only a sign and hope of things to come. 


In many ways, every pregnancy after my first miscarriage felt like that warm March day. Each pregnancy began full of beauty, joy, and life. Each child was worthy of enjoyment for his or her own sake. Each life was something to bask in, celebrate, and know deeply. 


But over every pregnancy also loomed that dread of snow. Is this pregnancy for “real” or is it going to be cut short? Is spring ahead or is winter still here? 


The weight of worry could sometimes feel like it was too much to bear. 

While darkness often covers those early days of pregnancy after loss, we can look to the hope of the first spring flowers poking out of the snow. They remind us of the promise and hope that life perseveres, even through the cold, dark snow.

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at [email protected] OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
