If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think;
but the most important thing is, even if we're apart,
I will always be with you.

8 months now...

Well, baby, it's been 8 long months now... and I don't quite know what to say... You know that I love you with all my heart and that I wish you were here with me. You know how much of a struggle it has been and still is to get through a day without you. What else can I say to you that I haven't already said and felt for the last 8 months. My feelings have run the gamut and there's no sign of it stopping now. I still get sad and angry and lonely and mad and sometimes just confused... it's a neverending spiral.

I guess it kinda bugs me that I saw so many of your relatives today and no one even mentioned your name... If you were here, you would still be the center of attention and be passed around to everyone all day but you weren't and the day felt emptier because you weren't here. Your 1 year angelversary is coming up so soon and I don't want them to forget you... I want them to be there with me celebrating the day of your birth but I worry that it'll just be me and Daddy and your big sister there writing letters to you and sending them up to heaven... We will see, I guess...

I just don't want you to be forgotten and it's hard to keep you around and in everyone's thoughts when you aren't here to coo and giggle and make silly faces at us like you would be doing. I love you so much, little man - more than words could ever say. Thanks you for playing your song for me today... I know you sent it just for me so you could hear Mommy sing it for you one more time. Night night little one... Sending hugz and kisses on Angel's wings to you. XOXO

Love,

I'm so worried about people forgetting too and I also fear that the only ones remembering the one year mark will be me and my husband. Remembernig your sweet Kaelen with you. He'll never be forgotten here. XO

This marker is right around the corner from me and I don't know how on earth this much time has passed.

I'm sorry that you had your family around and he wasn't able to be the center of attention as he should be. Thinking of you both....

I gave my mom a picture of Ines because she has pictures from all her grandaughters and she is her grandaughter as well. I explain to her that it makes me feel sad that because she is not in flesh with us, she might be forgotten. I understand you so well. When I read you, I always see your pictures of Kaelen on the day he was born. They are great pictures. When I see them I feel what you were feeling on that day. It is so hard to realize that we had to say good bye so soon, when we were so much wishing to hold them for a lifetime.
