It’s so unfair it hurts. For weeks after William died Tom literally had heart ache (chest pain) a physical sign of his broken heart.
We miss being those people who think “it will never happen to us”.
But it did. And we are reeling.
So we take a deep breath and look at our baby's photographs, his cute smirk, chubby cheeks, and tiny little feet, and we smile again. We are living a life where we hold William in our hearts instead of our arms and we aren’t sure we are ready to accept that yet.
Another gift that baby William gave us: the strength to make it through challenging situations. The “Will” to honor his memory by showing off the strength he gave us that day. The “Will” to be better. The “Will” to be patient, to heal, to be happy because that’s what William would want.
We've started making a list of ways to honor William. Sharing his story is one of them.
We are also planning a memorial service. We want it to be beautiful and filled with joy, a celebration of our sweet William’s life. The date should soon be finalized.
Xoxo,
Liz and Tom
