We had a really good night. Taylor came home and started working on
the front yard while I got dinner ready. He kept yelling for me to
come out to see all the turtles he was finding. We saw a baby turtle
and he was high tailing it for cover. I have never seen a turtle move
that fast. He was so cute. We invited my parents over for dinner and
they arrived about the same time Alyson did. Just minutes after the
timer went off on the oven. I have never timed dinner so perfectly.
After dinner we all set out on the deck. After my parents
went home Alyson and I decided to stay outside and keep talking. She
is such an amazing person and is like a sister to me. We have known
each other since 7th grade and the day we meet I knew we would be life
long friends. While we were talking Taylor came out to see if I had
checked my email lately. Our bereavement support group "Journey" is
this Sunday. We had received an email of reminder and to let us know
that there was a new couple that just had a
stillborn................................. I am sitting here now
because I can't sleep. My heart is hurting so bad. I know exactly
what they are feeling. I don't even know them and I want to go to the
hospital right now to hug them and cry with them. I feel sick to my
stomach knowing the pain that they are feeling right now. Why does
this happen? Why can't we have our babies? It just isn't fair! All
I can do is pray....
Okay I have decided that time is going by way too fast. Burke just turned 3 the beginning of June! I can not believe it. I feel like just yesterday I was in the hospital having the little guy! We had a fun small family party and he is loving some super hero's right now so that was the theme :) Silas really wanted to jump out when he walked in and yell surprise so that is what we did :) Burke is super shy and he really wasn't a fan of it all. Pibby and Pops got him his first bike and it is SO cute. I picked up a balloon for all the kids and one special spider man one for Boo. He has always loved balloons. He said the sweetest thing....... he wanted to let his balloons go up to Mamie so she would know that it was his birthday. I couldn't believe he let his special Spider Man one go. It made me want to cry. She should be here with us. ANYWAYS, it was a fun day and I got some pictures of course and a few videos. Happy 3rd Birthday Burkie BOO! We love you so so
I will be praying for this couple. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Kelly's and have been drawn to it since. I have not had a stillbirth but was so drawn to your story. The completely surreal thing is that one of my best friends is giving birth to her stillborn baby tonight. We have been with her at the hospital and it has been a true journey. Right after I received her phone call I had a strong urge to email you to see what we could do for her. I couldn't believe that you had just posted the saint charm necklace because she is catholic and I thought what a perfect charm for the charm bracelet that she wears daily. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story of Mamie. Saying special prayers for you and all of the families that have been affected by stillbirths.
ReplyDeletePrayers for them, and that you and Taylor might find some comfort in being able to comfort them.
