On days where I'm tired, and I feel the pressure of life, the stress of work - the difficulties of the tangible - creeping up my spine like an ache I cannot shake, I think of you. I think of you and the beautiful, meaningful, brief life you had here with us. You never knew … Continue reading My path
I often wonder as I go about my busy day, how often do others think of you? I think of you countless times during each and every day. A scent, a voice, a breeze, reminds me of you. The sweatshirt I wore today was given to me on my first 'girls' trip' after the run … Continue reading Thinking of you
Hi, Baby. Six years ago, I carried you safely in my belly. You were tiny, and so was I. I had no idea that in a few short weeks, I would welcome you into the world. I planned for that homecoming to be months away. At that moment, six years ago, I just waited patiently … Continue reading Six years
This Christmas, we awoke in our own home, to the sound of our sweet angel on Earth exclaiming, "Santa came, Mommy" and walked out of our bedroom to his bouncing and clapping with an innocent energy I've only dreamed existed. Christmas last year he had joined our family only days before and was still so … Continue reading So this is Christmas
I had someone ask me recently, 'What is your greatest fear?' I actually had to think about it, for quite a while, because my instant answer was everything. I fear everything. I am scared of waking up every day to the memory of my baby who's no longer with me. I fear raising a child … Continue reading My greatest fear
My husband, sweet angel, and I spent three beautiful Thanksgiving Days together. Each bittersweet, as we had to make tough decisions about the health of our sweet, fragile baby, that alienated the very people who offered us love and support throughout his short life. But we did what we thought was best, and as I … Continue reading Thankful and grieving
I had a conversation this past week with an associate I've known for years. He and I have worked together in some capacity for over a decade though we've never really talked outside of the professional arena. We went on a team-building exercise to an escape room, where everyone has to work together to collect … Continue reading What we can handle
I picked my little angel on Earth up from daycare this afternoon and asked him if he wanted to go to the store with me. I had several errands to run as we are having a little belated birthday celebration for him tomorrow. He happily said yes and we drove to the local supermarket. As … Continue reading A hello from the Heavens
Yesterday, I asked my sweet angel in Heaven if he could hear me. I get signs from him all the time. Things I see, hear, experience in my every day life that let me know my sweet boy is still with me. Just last week I'd gone for an 'energy' healing. It was something new … Continue reading All I had to do was ask
I found out today that a mama, who I really don’t know well, but who was instrumental in helping match us with our beautiful angel on Earth, lost one of her children recently. I don’t know the details, or the circumstances, only that she and I are now connected, as sisters-in-loss, mothers parenting children in … Continue reading Heart heavy
