Any NEW person I meet tends to ask similar questions.
Ya know the the "get to know you" questions.
and...
they almost always ask
without failure
if I have children
AND...
I always answer
yes.
he lived for 6 months.
in shock...
most people respond in shock.
never really knowing how to respond
what to say.
Some people are gracious.
Some people ignore the answer and ask about something else.
But.
I will never stop answering that question without including Kaden.
No matter how akward a conversation can get.
HE IS MY SON.
I will not let his death define me.
I am his mother.
He is my son.
That is that.
It is eternal.

ReplyDeleteWes has an Aunt and Uncle who lost a little baby. When people ask her how many children she has she says, 'Seven plus one in heaven.' I love that! Just made me think of you.
