Scarlett Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I thought I would, once again, say thank you to all the kind people here. For the most part, I have been way better with this anniversary than other dates that have gripped me with anxiety. We took our kids on a cruise to celebrate our 25th anniversary at the beginning of May and that helped calm me tremendously. I still have this giant hole in my heart, but over these years, I have learned to live with it better. There are always going to be the days and the moments where I am right back there though. Anyway, I blogged for the first time, about what happened that day. I could not do that until now. I also blogged about why we took our kids with us on what could have been a couple only anniversary trip. It's been a giant year of growth for us. I will miss him until I open my eyes and see him again, but for now, I am finding joy right here. http://crazyeverydayblessings.blogspot.com ((((Kari))))) I am so sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 To Kari, Miss Innocent, Rosie and all the others who have buried their children, my heart aches for you. I hugged my kids a little tighter today and will tuck them in an extra time in honor of your children. May you be surrounded by love and light always. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Kari, thank you so much for sharing this part of you, this story that no mom should have be a part of her tapestry. I do not think you were cowardly for not viewing your son's injuries. These are decisions we never expect to have to make. There were decisions when my baby girl died that I questioned; my older children, who were then five and three, never saw Lydia. I did not have them come to the hospital to see their dead baby sister. Was I wrong? I don't know, but this was not what I wanted them to picture when they thought about the sister they never got to know. I don't know if it was best, but I wanted to protect my living kids from as much of the horror as I could and that was what I chose. (((Hugs))) that hole will never go away, but I pray that you may fill it up with little bits of joy until you can see Timmy again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
