I am getting a ton of emails asking what people can do for Alicia and Kevin. And, the truth is, there's really nothing anyone can do. The offers are very much appreciated, don't get me wrong, but what they need the most is gone.
I have seen a lot of heartfelt and wonderful comments on Facebook tonight. It takes me back almost 22 mos in the blink of an eye. I love how great people can be. At the same time, my mind starts going 100 mph and I analyze things. The "everything happens for a reason" type comments almost infuriate me. I'm not saying I'm mad at someone for saying that because I know they mean well, but I have a very hard time grasping that concept in a time like things. I can't think of any reason that a parent needs to lose a child. I read where someone said that it's such an honor that God chose Alicia and Kevin to care for and love this baby for his four months on earth. Another statement that was meant well, but I can't understand how it's ok to fill someone's heart with so much love for someone then practically rip it out of their chest. I'm not trying to offend or start a debate of some sort. I'm just pissed . I'm mad that my sister has to go thru this. That anyone has to go thru this. I'm mad that something so horrific happened today and the world keeps spinning....there's still work in the morning, there's still laundry to be done, there's still puke to be cleaned up (well, for Tanya anyway). It's not fair.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest I'll leave you with these pictures from mid-March. I have been meaning to post them for awhile but have been slacking...
Owen and Noah were supposed to be BFF's...
When Owen saw Noah he had to give hugs. His hugs are usually followed by "awwww, nice..."
How can you accept losing someone so happy, smiley, chubby (his rolls had rolls!), and all around perfect?? Just look at that smile!
We really do appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much! Keep them coming.
