Christmas was hard, knowing that we should have had a cute three-month-old in red and white striped footie pajamas being passed around and spoiled with "Baby's First Christmas" ornaments and toys well beyond his age ability. Instead, almost no one mentioned him. Thank god for my mom, who *did* remember and gave us an ornament...but instead of "Baby's First Christmas" it said "Our baby angel".
So not fair. Babies should not die.
My mom had to keep reminding me that people don't know what to say... I don't give 2 shits if they don't know what to say. I want them to recognize Aidan and let me know that they were thinking about him. My parents and Chris's parents both got stuff in honor of Aidan. Other than that, we got 1 card that included him as part of our family and 2 that said lastname family. The rest said to Chris and Maggie...we're not just Chris and Maggie anymore. WOAH sorry for the rant
ReplyDeleteI thought about you when I decided not to send out Christmas cards. I wanted to so I could include Caleb, but it was too hard to send them out. Trust me, I thought about all 3 of you on Christmas. ::hugs::
