22 years ago, I was 6 months pregnant and anticipating the birth of my first child, I had no clue how fast that time would come. A few short hours into this day I was being rushed to the hospital for preterm labor. Having no clue that my son would be born today and 8 hours later he would join our Heavenly Father.
A year ago today, my book released on his birthday. It’s our story, my struggle with myself, the aftermath of emotions and my anger with God. We broke Amazon for a few days because of the overflowing outpour of love from people buying the book. It was surreal!
The journey I’ve been on this last year has been overwhelming. Our book has been therapeutic for me in my continuous healing process but the stories I’ve heard and have been entrusted with from other moms and families, wow! To hear from people across the world that have read my book and have taken the time to reach out to me is nothing short of a miracle itself.
Today, my Brayden would have been 22 years old. I still wonder who he’d be, where his journey in life would have taken him. But I’m so thankful I was chosen to be his mama even though I had him only a short time here on earth. Today, he will get 22 purple rosas, we will celebrate another birthday in a garden of stone and I will ponder all the things I wonder about him.
If you have been apart of this entire journey with me, thank you. If you’ve joined my journey recently after reading our story, thank you. If you have shared your loss with me, thank you.
Happy birthday my beautiful angel Brayden. Heaven is sweeter and closer everyday.
