thinking.

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.

I have been pondering A LOT today.

It all started with a beautiful video.


You must watch it.
You must read it.

They will inspire you.
as they did me...

I want to be better.

How do I spend all my time?
it...will and is going to change.

Thank you for inspiring me.

  2. Wes 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.
