This is what was going through my mind yesterday when we sang happy birthday to James.

My firstborn turned 15.

I grew and changed along the way with you, in ways I never expected, in ways I didn’t even notice until I looked back. You didn’t just grow up. You brought me with you.

Thank you for making me your mother. It is such an honour to watch you blossom and flourish every single day, becoming such a kind, sweet human. I am so grateful I get a front row seat to who you are becoming.

And no matter where life takes you, no matter what roads you choose, we will always be there. Always. That will never change.

Happy birthday, James. I love you more than words. Xox

Because staying in motion is the only way I know how to keep going some days.

Someday I am still looking and searching for this finish line.

I wrote something about it for you.

Comment FINISH and I will send it to you.

I cannot wait to dance with you again.

Missed you a bit louder this weekend.💕

Because I used to take for granted that all my children would outlive me.

Because I used to take for granted that they would all walk me down the aisle one day.

Because I used to take for granted they’d each have a first day of school.

A second birthday.
A high school graduation.

Because I used to take for granted that we would always celebrate Christmas as a family of five.

That I would always wake up to three boys.

That he would always be here. Physically. In our home. In our chaos.

I didn’t know what I was holding until it was gone.

Miss you every day Jacob. Life is hard without you.💕

Packing for a move hits differently when you’ve lost a child. 💔

Grief is also mourning the moments that should have existed.
The family photos.
The sibling pictures.

There are some realizations after losing a child that completely break you in new ways. 💔

I wrote down some thoughts about my early grief, the things that helped me survive the unimaginable, and the things nobody really talks about.

Comment “HOPE” and I’ll send it over privately. 🤍
