Thanks Christina!

He had so many issues, no chest cavity, heart and all organs in the stomach, spina bifida. I could go on and on. I saw 13 specialists to see if there was anyway he could live. They all said the same thing. I know after seeing him that I did the right thing. That is my only solace. But it still hurts just as bad as that day. We even had a small casket made, a funeral service and a graveside. My husband and I put him in the ground together. Hardest thing I ever had to do.

Ive saved his receiving blanket, measuring tape, footprint. Over the years I have looked at it over and over. At one point my mother and husband hid it from me so I would go on.

Its hard to go on these days, but Im working on it. Missing my baby. Theres a syndrome called empty arms. I know exactly what it feels like.

Thanks for your support.

Colleen
