I am a wife and mother. I married Travis the summer of 2007 and life really took off. We welcomed our first born, Adrian Reese, June of 2009. We welcomed our second born, Ainslee Ryan, October of 2010 and had a short time with her. She was taken from us in February 2011, just 3 months and 10 days old, from the silent killer called SIDS. 6 months after she passed away, we found out we were expecting our 3rd, due in April of 2012. Our rainbow baby is a girl, sweet Hadlee Hope. We're slowly picking up the pieces and learning how to fit grief and happiness into this crazy thing called life.
I can relate so much to your anxiety, control issues and fears, and I've never even lost a child. I am such a worry wart (more so now that I'm a mom). I think many people have the "that won't happen to me" mentality. Mine is the opposite: "these horrible things are going to happen to someone, so why wouldn't they happen to me/ my family?" this sometimes drives a wedge between my husband and I as he considers me to be a negative thinker. I hope this horrendous experience brings you and your husband closer. Aisle would definitely want that. Anyway, I don't think i've commented before, but I think of you often.
What a beautiful picture...Happy 9 Months sweet Ainslee!!!
ReplyDeletePraying for you right now Channan.... what a beautiful picture of you and your sweet girl!
