Two Years and Two Days

Yesterday was the two year anniversary of Connor's passing. In two days, we deliver our second son. Today I listened to Connor's memorial service again. It was such a lovely service honoring a sweet little boy who fought so hard to be with his mommy and daddy. A little boy who is not with us the way we would like him to be, but we know he is here. And we hope and believe that he is looking out for his little brother and just as excited as we are to meet him.

As I look out the window, I see a winter wonderland outside; just like the day we buried Connor. It was such a beautiful day. Fluffy, white snowflakes were falling gently to the ground and the evergreens were dusted with snow. It was such a peaceful scene. Whenever it snows like that, I think of Connor and wonder if he is sending the snow my way. Reminding me of his love and quiet strength. I do believe he is all around us and he is always in my heart.

So now as we anticipate the birth of this new little boy, we continue to think of and love Connor. I hope that we can always find ways to remember Connor and the joy he brings to us and tell his little brother all about him.
