August 2004

Your mom was a beautiful person and I think of her often. We came to visit your mom and dad in August of 2004, they had a doctor’s appointment while we were there and got to hear your heartbeat, it was very special for both of them. I would never trade this time with your mom because we got to talk a lot about her expectations for you and for herself as a parent. We spent time talking about our hopes and dreams for our children.

One of the things that causes me such sadness when I think about your mom is, I know how desperately she wanted to be a good mom to you and how she wanted to make the right choices for you. Your dad is doing an amazing job at being a parent and I know that he makes decisions with your mom in mind, and probably often thinks about what she would have wanted for you. There were so many special things about your mom and over time, I am sure people will share with you what an extraordinary person she was. She will never be forgotten.
