And is gift it is. I too, lost my first, a boy- at 4 months. I too think of the parents when I hear of any child gone- especially when they've been around a while (now that I know my toddler daughter and infant son). I think HOW does one go on. One does.

I have not read it since Elias's birth and my own grief at lost expectations(even though I read it tens of times previously) and it takes on a whole new meaning today. Thank you. But even more so thank you for your beautiful vulnerability, for your words, for sharing your love for Finn.

Loss continues, and as sudden as his death was at 67, it still made infinite more sense than the loss of a baby. I hope you can physically feel all the support you have here on the blogosphere. Your words have seriously cut through my chest and grabbed hold of my heart. Peace to Finn and you...
