Happy First Birthday My Baby
Today is the first anniversary of what would have been my daughter’s due date 🤍
December 2024 we said goodbye to our little girl Emery due to a chromosome deletion that made her incompatible with life. If she had lived, her expected birthdate was May 13, 2025.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. I miss her every day. Time has lessened the pain to make it tolerable, but my love for her has never diminished.
Today I remembered her by walking in the park that we used to walk in while I was pregnant, and by celebrating with some cake with a “1” on it, to signify her first birthday. Her candle (battery) will be lit all night to keep her close.
We didn’t make our loss known publicly, so I don’t have an outlet to wish my girl a happy birthday - except here, where I’ve always felt so supported. Thank you to this group - I wish we weren’t here, but I’m glad we have each other.
Happy birthday baby - Mama loves you, I wish more than anything I could hold you close 🤍 xoxo
