5 months


15 comments
I don't need to say a lot for you to know what today held for me. 5 months ago I kissed him, heard his voice, saw him smile, held his chubby little hand....for the last time.

I sat at work today, during my planning period, trying to push it from my mind, but I couldn't. I was doing exactly what I was doing when my whole world came crashing down. In that moment, I felt so lost. I'm lost without Ayden. I'm a mother without her child. I don't know how people expect me to act, but I do know that I go through every day feeling so foreign and disconnected. I don't belong here. I belong with him.

5 months doesn't seem like a long time, but it's more than an eternity.

  1. 5 months later and I still can't imagine your pain. I wish I had words of comfort but I'm sure there really aren't any. Hugs and prayers your way.

  2. My heart breaks for you. I pray that one day your heart won't feel so broken. I pray that one day you can make it through a day without tears & I pray for the day you get to see Ayden again to hug, kiss & hold him.. & I know that with my prayers & everyone else who prays for you God will listen & God will follow through.

  3. Remembering Ayden with you and for you. His little videos are so precious and I know you will treasure them always. His life had meaning. His life had worth. I am sorry you have to travel this journey without him in your arms, but I KNOW he will always be in your heart. Love-

  7. Dear Lindsay ~ I don't think anyone expects you to act or behave in any particular way. You have already had your most precious, baby boy tragically taken from you. Marking/honouring milestones how you feel is best for you is the only right way to cope. Your love and devotion to Ayden always shines through your words. Your very brave openess about your now broken heart at his loss is a lesson to us all. Thinking of you in a little piece of England that also remembers your dear little son. xx
