Last year on this day when I was 4.5 months pregnant with the baby who would be called James, we took Jack to have him Baptized. Before we left for the service, I had slipped Will's ashes into my bag. As I sat there in the pew, I realized it was the only time I would be out anywhere with all three of my boys. When I wrote the check to the church as an offering, I realized that it was Feb. 25, a year since my sister-in-law, Heidi, died of cervical cancer. After Jack's Baptism, we went to the cemetery where David's Dad was buried, and where David's brother Chris, and his sister Heidi's ashes were. We went to David's Dad's grave. I told Will that we loved him very very much and I left him there to be with his grandfather, who he was named after. It was a very emotional morning.
Five days later I got on a plane with Jack and moved across the country.
Oh honey, this is so touching and so sad. I'm thinking about you today.
