This year we parked in our
usual spot for the Canada Day Parade and were about to get out of the
vehicle when I realized that in the haste of trying to get everyone
ready (yes, in our matchy-matchy t-shirts!) that I forgot to put on
Claire’s necklace.
Ugh. Insta-tears.
I knew we would get a family picture
taken and I know that her necklace may not even be noticed in the
picture... but I would and will continue to notice.
It felt like I left her behind today and it hurts a lot... I’m sorry Baby Girl.
Last year at the parade we had just
found out that we were pregnant. This year she should have been with us
and almost 4 months old. But she isn’t. And today marks 9 months since
she was born sleeping.
