Day 2: Before loss self portrait

My aunt had a baby die when I was little, a boy in my class died when we were in grade school, my cousin lost his little girl in a tragic freak accident, I knew that people die, kids die, babies die... but that was one of those things that happened to other people, it won't ever happen to you.

Sometimes, I wish I could go back, back before I knew... I mean, I knew people died, kids died, even babies died, but I didn't know... I was naive, I was happy, I was innocent.

And then one day, it does happen to you. I'll never go back, I can't. I will forever know. This girl knew, but didn't know. This is me and my best friend on my wedding day.

  1. There are a lot of days that I'll never forget. This day was one of them :) another is the day I got the call that Landon had died :( I cried a lot for you that night. That's one thing that should never happen, ever. I cried and I hugged my children tight, as I couldn't imagine not having any one of them here with me. I cried for what you would never get the joy of experiencing with him, of what would never be. I could never imagine the horror of what you were going through, and what you still live with every single day. I'm very happy that you get to experience those things with Jaxon, but I wish you had both your boys here with you. Many hugs to you! Love you!
