It's been a long time since I've posted on this site. We have been busy over the past several months but I am excited to get back on here and get some kits donated. Gage would have been 5 in February. I still can't believe its been that long since I last held him or kissed his face. This anniversary for some reason was especially hard for me. I have learned that the process of grief truly is a roller coaster ride. I was also in my last trimester with our 3rd rainbow baby these past few months. I was much sicker than I have been with any other pregnancy and was off work the last month prior to his arrival. The long month at home feeling awful gives you lots of time to think. It is hard to shut your mind off at times which easily causes unneccessary fear and anxiety. We came home from the hospital Easter weekend. My older boys helped me finish assembling kits that we started for Gage's birthday but needed a few things to be completed. I am thankful that they enjoy putting together and donating kits that will help other families who suffer the loss of their infant(s). I am also grateful for the reason we celebrate Easter and the reminder that one day we will be reunited with Gage.
A few local organizations have reached out to me asking for kits as they have seen an increased need for supplies. I am happy that I can honor Gage by helping others but it breaks my heart to know that so many other families experience what I believe to be the worst thing imaginable.....the loss of a child.
Happy 5th Birthday Gage and Happy Easter.
