Halloween in Heaven

We woke up this morning like usual, thinking of William and wondering if someone up in heaven would dress him up for his first Halloween, whispering to whoever was listening to take photos.

This time last year, William was growing well as evidenced by my swelling belly. We'd sing to him, one of our favorite songs - this little light of mine - but instead of "light" we'd sub in the word "pumpkin". Amidst the news from the doctors that there could be something wrong with him, we were still optimistic everything would be OK. And so we dreamed of his first Halloween, dressing him up in costume, thanking our lucky stars that it all turned out OK. Those were the days.

We still dream about dressing up future kids and cannot wait till we have that opportunity.

For now we send all our love up to heaven and wish we could send his R2D2 onsie up there too.

Happy Halloween, little one. We love you, pumpkin!
