Jealousy

I hate feeling that. I hate that when I hear that somebody's baby is coming home from the NICU, the first thing that I think is not, "That's great, that's amazing, God is good!"

Rather, the first thought that comes into my head is, "That's not fair. Dylan never got to come home. We never had that moment. The doctors and the nurses never got excited for us."

I hate feeling that.

"Anyone can give up,

But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."

Happy Easter Dylan!

Dylan,
Every holiday without you is difficult. It's just another cruel reminder of your physical absence.

(It's a far better place to be, and I pray nightly that I may be reunited with you in Heaven one day, my dear.)


A great big hug to all the babylost mommas (and daddies, of course) who celebrated without your angels yesterday. And a very, special thank you to Michelle from Missing Juanito for this precious little gem:
