So Mother’s Day was hard. And I find myself getting choked up in the days after. It wasn’t just the anticipation of Mother’s day - the advertisements of happy moms with children right besides them. William is right besides me too, just in a different way. It’s just really raw still, more so than I want to admit. And not knowing what the future holds, and losing that sweet, comfortable, innocent life we used to have. I understand everyone goes through trials in their live. I’m just jealous that most people don’t have to go through our trial.
But then again, we’d choose him every time.
I really wanted to celebrate mother’s day - not just survive it. And overall I think I did. Kate filled out a card from William to me and we ate delicious food and drank and relaxed all day.
We spruced up William’s garden too, see photo below. It’s so cute, just like him :)

| William, your little garden is so beautiful. It makes me so happy. Love, Mommy |
I am still here. I am listening. I love you, Tom and William and think of you often. Happy Mothers Day to an amazing Mom. William is lucky to have been loved and continue to be loved in such a beautiful way.
ReplyDeleteThank-you, Meghan. It's what being a mom is all about - doing things for your babies that make you happy too. 2014 was definitely the year of William. But this year is the year of honoring him and parenting him in heaven as much as we can. Much love right back to you, little cousin :) xo
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) Mother's Day Liz. I was thinking of you and William on that day, and about what an amazing mom you are. Truly, you are an incredible mom. William's garden looks beautiful. Sending love, xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Allison! That's so awesome that you thought of us during Mother's Day - YOU are incredible. See you soon, friend :) xoxo
