Life After Loss

Christmas was a whirlwind of emotions and I apologize for being so absent on here. I guess I needed time to step back and take a breath. If you follow our journey, then you already know that we lost a dear friend over the holiday. 💔 I’m trying so hard to focus on her life and not her death. Grieving is such a weird thing. From sadness to anger, I never know how I am going to feel. .

.

So in spirit of focusing on life and all the good things, here’s Foster. Just truly enjoying his new fire engine he got for Christmas. I’m still amazed daily of their growth. ❤️They aren’t babies anymore.😭

How was your Christmas? 🎄
