If you think that time makes a difference to a mama’s heart that’s missing a child who ran ahead to Heaven without her, you don’t know as much as you think you know.

This is a record of my grief journey and a look into the life I didn't choose.

    Thank you, Melanie, for continuing to speak the truth about the death of a child. Some days it’s amazing to me that I have continued to keep on breathing all of these years, especially some days when it still hurts to the very core of my being.

    Hugs to you,
    Becky
