Oh Theodore, you wouldโve been TWO today…ย I remember this moment…ย I remember being so thrilled that you were โcomfortableโ enough on this particular day to lay โchest to chestโ with mommy; feeling your chest rise and fall with each breath against mine was well worth recruiting someone to help coordinate the process of delicatelyContinue reading “๐ก๐ข๐ง โ๐ง๐ช๐ขโ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ช๐๐ฌ…๐”

…It all begins and end with a kiss ๐
Think about it. The first instinct a father has when holding their precious baby is to kiss their cheek… because what feels better than fresh newborn skin pressed against your lips when no words seem significant enough to properly represent your overwhelming amount of love? Those same fathers eventually experience earthly departures, yet that sameContinue reading “…It all begins and end with a kiss ๐”

ALIVE IN THE SHADOWS
Happy 1st Birthday, my sweet Theodore. Mommy wanted to do something extra special to honor your beautiful soul; an eternal soul that is still very much alive. From the day you were born, it was always your soul that touched me more than your body. Even on your birthday, they whisked you away for the first openContinue reading “ALIVE IN THE SHADOWS”
WE LOCKED EYES
The church doors opened, and all I saw was you. Not the friends and family gleaming on either side of the aisle, or even the photographer following us with flashing lights could distract me from your eyes. I felt my Dadโs strong grip around my arm, but it was your misty eyes that remained myContinue reading “WE LOCKED EYES”
CHEEK TO CHEEK
That is how it should still be… your pudgy little cheek pressed up against mine; your wispy blonde hairs tickling my temple as I press in closer and closer to you. Some mornings when itโs extra hard to catch my breath, I even find myself taking the back of my hand and pressing it upContinue reading “CHEEK TO CHEEK”

Theodore always felt safe in his daddy’s arms. And you, Michael Nelson, are the pillar of strength for ourContinue reading “DADDY’S ARMS”

MK insisted on taking her little brother for a drive today. Never in my wildest dreams did I think โplaytimeโ would look like this… but โthisโ is our reality. And thatโs the thing about โrealityโ – you canโt hide from it. You can either run from reality, or choose to accept it. Although, trying toContinue reading “โขโข REALITY โขโข”
