As my sweet Lucy's third birthday approaches all I can think about is her.. How would she be now.. Luke says she'd have hair like mine, black and curly, he drew a picture of her a few days ago, he says to me "she looks like a mini you" and then he giggled... I picture a sweet little girl with bouncy curls who loves to run through flowers and steal snacks from her brother and then they'd giggle about it.. I bet she'd love her new baby brother and she'd take lots of naps and snuggles with him. She'd draw sweet art that only a 3 year old knows how to make and we'd hang her drawings all over the walls. We'd go on nature adventures and pick wild flowers for pressing between the pages of old books.. We'd giggle together as we play hide and seek around the house, we'd have picnics and tea parties and tree climbing. At the end of the day she'd be so tired that she'd fall asleep on the couch and her daddy would have to carry her to bed. Ah I love to dream of my sweet little girl.
Welcome to my blog. I am a mother to three beautiful children. My second child, my sweet daughter Lucy was born with Anencephaly; she came to live in the world for only a short time. I'm here writing my thoughts, my feelings, my love, my grief, my passion and life with Lucy in my heart.

Day 3 In Honor
IN HONOR
Oh sweet baby girl, how delicate you are, yet how incredibly strong
You're perfect body, you're prefect soul, you captivate me
Those hands, those arms, those checks
you take my breath away
The sweetness of you. Your calmness.
Your peaceful spirit, it's awakened something in me
Your perfect love, it's an inspiration in this life, your peaceful life
Your grace is powerful, you are my spiritual guide.
I love you. I honor you.
I'm beyond amazed that you chose me to be your mother

Day 2 Intention
INTENTION
Seeing Beauty.
Beauty in life. Beauty in myself. Beauty in others.
Being able to step back and be present.
Being open to give and except more freely.
Letting my intuition guide me.
Being strong about my feelings.
Being truthful. Being honest.
Keeping love and nature as a
foundation to life.
Practicing to be still.
Being free to laugh more.
Living calmly.

Day 1 Sunrise
SUNRISE
"Just for a moment let's be still"
It's needed, so needed and sometimes I forget to take a moment to take a break from my life. Today I gave myself twenty minutes to sit in silence and breath in the fresh air. It feels real, in this moment I feel alive.
I sit here, I feel still.

Lucy's 2nd Birthday
"Two years ago I held the sweetest baby girl in my arms. She cooed and smiled, my love for her runs through my heart deeper and brighter. As I sit and remember her, as I sit and love her deeply and as I miss her, as I long for her so, I smile, I cry, my heart burns with love for her, my lips miss kissing her and my arms ache without her in them. She gives me light and sings within me. She's inspired me with passion and makes me realize what is truly important. Love. Without love we have nothing."
