The days following Preslee’s death will forever be engraved in my heart and mind. The sorrow, pain, and devastation consumed every ounce of my being.
As much as I still despise grief, I’m thankful.
Thankful for what its taught me—to recognize and appreciate the small moments I used to take for granted.
This week, while I washed dishes, I had two babies escape from their bumbos, make their way over to their mom, and use my legs for balancing practice.
Suddenly, my heart was overwhelmed with gratitude.
As we enter July, I always become emotional, and incredibly sentimental. I think back to those last couple of weeks we spent with Preslee, and I also remember the horrific day we walked our of PCMC without our daughter. I never dreamed I would have three little boys as quickly as I did, or that it was possible to be as happy as I am today.
Pinch me.
I have three healthy energetic boys, and one little girl waiting for us in heaven.
I’m one blessed momma.
so beautiful! you are so blessed and so inspirational. thank you for sharing your amazing family!

ReplyDeleteYou are blessed with those 3 boys but even more blessed to have your daughter be an angel watching over each of you in life until that time comes to meet again :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an beautiful post....I love the pictures too. Grief can send us on two different paths. We can become hardened, angry, and heartbroken in a way that will never mend and we stay that way the rest of our lives. OR....we can be angry and heartbroken but eventually we learn to trust because it's all that we have left....the more we trust, the more we heal. Then the miracles come. Your darling boys and that handsome husband of yours are your miracles. Your Preslee is your miracle. You are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed with 4 beautiful babies.
ReplyDeleteI have been following you for a while now and I just have to say your boys are so cute and precious! Even though grief is so hard after loosing a child we would never give it away because it keeps us feeling connected to our lost one.
